Development project: read the financing report
Understand the project economics in the Projektudvikling report: cost breakdown, profit, ROI, sensitivity analysis and sale vs. rental — and download as PDF, PowerPoint or Excel.
Once you have designed the buildings and set the housing plan in Projektudvikling, the final step gathers everything into a single report — including the project economics. This guide shows you how to read the financing part: the cost breakdown, the profit, the return and how sensitive the business case is to changes.
1Open the report
Complete the three phases of Projektudvikling and move to the final step, PDF Rapport. When the report is ready you see the status Report ready!, and the page lists what's included:
Cover page with project info Planning rules (local plan/municipal plan) Site plan — 4 angles + top-down plan Sales potential and housing plan Project economics (if filled in)
The economics section only appears if you filled in the project finances in the sales-potential step — land price, construction cost, advisory and financing. Without the figures, the section is skipped.
2Read the cost breakdown
The report's Cost breakdown builds up the total investment step by step — from buying the land to financing costs — so you see exactly where the money goes:
Lines with a percentage (e.g. Advisory (12.0%) or Financing (4.0% p.a.)) are derived from your inputs — change the assumptions in the sales-potential step and regenerate the report to see the effect.
3Understand the return
Below the costs, the report gathers the key figures for the sales scenario. Use them to quickly judge whether the business case holds:
- Profit — sales potential minus total investment and sales costs.
- Profit margin — profit as a percentage of the sales sum.
- ROI — return measured against the total investment.
- Annualized ROI — the return spread across the project's duration, so long and short projects can be compared. The report also shows NPV and Sale/investment as supplementary measures.
A high ROI on a project running over several years can look better than it is — always check Annualized ROI when comparing projects of different duration.
4Assess the sensitivity
Sensitivity analysis shows what happens if the assumptions shift. Each variable is tested at a swing (the example uses ±10%), so you see a pessimistic and an optimistic scenario alongside the base case:
The sales price is usually the factor that moves the case most. If the margin stays positive in the pessimistic scenario, the business case is more robust.
5Sale vs. rental
If you defined a rental scenario, it appears alongside the sales case so you can compare the two exit strategies:
The rental section shows Market rent in the area per housing type, Net operating income (NOI), the investor's sale price at a given yield requirement, plus the annual return and payback period. The market rent is time-indexed to the local area — you can override the estimates manually in the sales-potential step if you have local knowledge.
6Download in the right format
When the report is ready you can grab it in several formats from PDF Rapport:
- Download PDF — the full report with planning rules, site plan and economics.
- Download sales presentation (PPTX) — PowerPoint for presenting to investors and partners.
- Download project economics (Excel) — the calculations in a spreadsheet, so you can adjust the assumptions yourself.
You can also grab Download Comparison Data and Download Construction Report separately — pick the language (Danish/English) on the download button. If something needs changing, you can always press Regenerate PDF.
The figures in the report are estimates based on your assumptions and market data — not a binding offer. Use them as a basis for decisions, not as a final answer.
