For Developers

Don't wait until the handover to discover the budget problem.

Your forecast is in Excel, your lender's forecast is somewhere else, and no one can say which one is up to date, so decisions are made based on numbers that are already outdated.

The answer

Here's exactly what bridges that gap.

One cost structure

PROBIS tracks budgets, forecasts, commitments, contracts, invoices, and change orders within a single cost structure, so the figure in your board pack is the figure your lender's representative approves.

→
Ask, get the answer

Ask where we stand and what's still to come, and get the answer from the cost structure instead of a spreadsheet.

Where It Breaks Today

Where the numbers quietly cease to reflect reality.

Your forecast is in Excel, your lender's forecast is somewhere else, and no one can say which one is up to date.

The Optimistic Model
Untested

Land bids are underwritten based on a cost plan that no one has stress-tested against a real set of comparable projects.

The Outdated Spreadsheet
Piles up

Change orders and scope changes pile up in email threads and separate files long before anyone updates the master forecast.

The report that nobody fully trusts
Rebuilt monthly

Every board update is a fresh reconstruction of numbers that should already exist somewhere in production.

The blind handoff
Lost at handover

Once a project enters the operations phase, the figures that were important during construction rarely make it into the plan for the next phase.

In practice

From land acquisition to handover, all on a single live model.

01

Model the deal

Evaluate feasibility scenarios before purchasing the land, benchmarked against more than 1,000 comparable projects.

02

Set the plan

Choose a cost structure that aligns with how your team already classifies costs, not a generic template.

03

Track Live

Every contract, invoice, and change order automatically updates the forecast, rather than on a monthly basis.

04

Report once

The same live number is sent to your team, your lender, and your board—no reconfiguration required.

Spotlight: Control

Forecast vs. actual, down to the line item.

The module developers live in the day-to-day: every package is benchmarked, and every variance is visible the month it occurs, not the quarter it is reported.

Google's first data center in Germany, managed from the pre-construction phase.

PROBIS supports commercial and cost controlling for complex data center developments. The Google data center in Hanau demonstrates the requirements of this highly technical asset class — shell construction, technical fit-out, power infrastructure, and cooling systems create multiple parallel cost streams. PROBIS brings use-of-funds control and commercial project information into one structured environment, helping teams identify deviations early.

NDC-GARBE Data Centers Europe is a European data center developer specializing in this field. It was formed in 2019 as a joint venture and now operates under the name GARBE.DC. The company designed and built Google’s first company-owned data center in Germany, located in Hanau and opened in October 2023—a four-story, 10,000-square-meter facility roughly twenty kilometers from the DE-CIX Frankfurt Internet exchange.
