The Answer

Here's how to close that very gap.

A Cost Structure

PROBIS manages budgets, forecasts, commitments, contracts, invoices, and amendments within a single cost structure, ensuring that the figure in your committee proposal is exactly the same as the one approved by your financier's monitoring system.

→
Get Questions and Answers

Ask where you stand and what's next, and get the answer directly from the cost structure rather than from a table.

Where the problem lies today

When project costs change, your forecast must adapt with them.

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

The Optimistic Model
Unaudited

Land bids are calculated based on a cost estimate that no one has stress-tested against actual comparable projects.

The Outdated Table
Piling up

Addenda and changes to deliverables pile up in email threads and separate files long before anyone rebuilds the master forecast.

The report that no one quite trusts
Newly built each month

Every committee update is a new recalculation of figures that should have been available for quite some time.

The Blind Handoff
Lost during the handover

As soon as a project goes into operation, the figures that were crucial during the construction phase are rarely factored into the planning for the next phase.

At handover: The figures that were critical during the construction phase rarely make it into the next phase of planning.

In practice

From Accquistion to Completion. Complete cost visibility.

01

Modeling the Project

Evaluate feasibility options before purchasing the property, benchmarking against more than 1,000 comparable projects.

02

Finalize the plan

Define a cost structure that reflects how your team already categorizes costs, rather than using a generic template.

03

Watch Live

Every contract, invoice, and addendum automatically updates the forecast; it is not updated on a monthly basis.

04

Report once

That same real-time figure is sent to your team, your financier, and your board, without any adjustments.

The Platform

One platform. Six modules. Designed for project developers.

A connected platform, a real-time database. AI-powered, SAP-ready, ISO 27001 certified.

Control is the module where project developers spend most of their time on a daily basis—more on that in detail below.

In Focus: Control

Know exactly where your project budget stands.

The module that project developers use every day: it benchmarks every procurement unit and highlights every deviation in the month it occurs—not just in the quarter in which it is reported.
