Illustrative interface — every return metric built on the same cash flow, so schemes compare like for like.

The metrics that decide the deal, computed for you

Return Analysis takes the costs and revenues behind a scheme and turns them into the returns your capital partners expect to see. Every metric is built on the same assumptions, so when you compare schemes you're comparing like for like — and when you present, the math holds up.

Profit & margin

Development profit and profit-on-cost margin, calculated from total revenue against all-in cost — the headline test of viability.

Yield-on-cost

Stabilized income over total development cost, with the spread to market cap rates that tells you whether the build is worth it.

IRR & cash flow

A timed cash flow with levered and unlevered IRR, so returns reflect when money goes in and when it comes back out.

A range, not a single number

Every headline return comes with its downside and upside attached — so you walk into committee knowing how much room the deal has before it stops working.

Where it fits in the workflow

Return Analysis turns a feasible scheme into hard numbers. It picks up from feasibility and feeds the side-by-side comparison — the same metrics that let you rank options also drive every downstream decision.
