Staged Developments

How to model a multi-stage development by treating each stage as its own scenario

Model a multi-stage development by treating each stage as its own scenario within the project.

Feasly does not currently combine stages into a single consolidated cashflow, so each stage is modelled and reported independently.


Why Each Stage Is a Separate Scenario

Every stage carries its own land, costs, sales, timing and funding. Modelling them separately means each one produces its own funding requirement, sales proceeds, debt repayment, equity return and profit.

That also mirrors how staged projects run commercially. Stage two is usually funded in part from stage one proceeds, and each stage stands or falls on its own numbers.


Setting Up a Staged Project

  1. Create the project from the Dashboard.

  2. Add a scenario for each stage, named clearly. Stage 1, Stage 2, and so on.

  3. Model each stage as a complete feasibility: Land, Costs, Sales, Scheduling and Funding.

  4. Use the result of each stage to inform the assumptions and funding requirement of the next.

Where stages share a cost structure, build the first one, then duplicate the scenario and adjust. Faster than starting each stage from nothing, and it keeps the cost structure consistent across every stage.


Comparing Stages

The Feasibility Summary displays every scenario side by side, so all stages can be reviewed in a single view. Key Indicators and Residual Land Value do the same.


Combined Cashflow Across Stages

A single cashflow spanning every stage is not available. Cashflow, Funding and Returns reports are produced per scenario, so a whole-of-project view across stages needs to be assembled outside Feasly (for now).

Setting up a staged model is one of the more involved things to structure. The team is happy to walk through it on a video call. Ask through the in-platform chat.
