Certify what the site shows, not what the application claims
Contractor applications checked against measured progress and site records before you certify. The gap between claimed and built, visible before the money moves.
Construction Software for Real Estate Developers
The best developers run on Archdesk
The rest pay for everything and verify nothing.
Every contractor application checked against measured progress before you certify it. Every variation on the record before it's built. Cost to date, cost to complete and contingency, live, in the shape your funder's monitoring surveyor expects. The appraisal you bought on, tracked to the day you exit.
Trusted by construction companies of every size, worldwide
Built for how development money actually gets spent
A developer's money is spent through other people's hands. These are the three places to check it.
Drawdown packs your monitoring surveyor signs first time
Cost to date, cost to complete and contingency status, live from the project records. The monthly funder pack becomes an export, not an exercise.
The appraisal you bought on, tracked to exit
The budget you bought the site on, tracked against reality. Every variation and every commitment shown against the viability model, from acquisition to exit.
One system from appraisal to exit
The number you bought the site on and the number you exit on are the same record.
Every stage in between writes to it.
Every stage in between writes to it.
1
Feasibility & appraisal
The viability model becomes the budget baseline every later stage is measured against.
2
Land & pre-construction
Acquisition costs, consultants and planning spend tracked from day one, not reconstructed later.
3
Procurement & contracts
Tender the packages, compare bids on scope, and turn awards into contracts without re-keying.
4
Construction
Applications verified against progress, variations on the record, cost to complete always current.
5
Completion & handover
Snagging, certificates and handover documentation assembled from records that already exist.
6
Operations & exit
The as-built cost history and asset documentation, ready for the buyer, the valuer or the operator.
Solutions for a Modern Developer
Construction Cost Controlling
Committed at the PO, earned as work is delivered, invoiced months later. See all three stages against every budget line, so variance is a decision you make, not a number you explain.
Explore Cost ControllingRelated solutions
Construction Financials
Certify subcontractor valuations down, build client applications up, from the same records. Invoices, payment notices and retention on statutory time, with the audit trail attached.
Explore FinancialsRelated solutions
Construction Procurement
Buy-out without the gaps: RFQs from your BOQ lines, bids back comparable, exclusions visible before award. Then every PO and subcontract lands on the budget the moment it's raised.
Explore Procurement
Construction Job Costing
What you priced is what you track. The winning estimate becomes the budget, actuals land against it line by line, and what jobs really cost feeds the next bid.
Explore Job CostingRelated solutions
Construction Project Management
The schedule, the progress and the money in one system. When a task slips you see what it costs, and when scope changes you see what it does to the schedule. 'On track' means the Gantt chart and the bank account.
Explore Project ManagementRelated solutions
Construction Document Management
Nobody builds from a superseded drawing. Revision control, approvals and distribution with proof of who received what, when. The record that wins the dispute instead of losing it.
Explore Document ManagementRelated solutions
Construction Scheduling
The schedule connected to what it depends on: long-lead deliveries on the tasks they gate, crews planned across every live job, slippage shown with its cost.
Explore Scheduling
Construction Live Data
Every project's position, live, from the data that ran the work. Cost, schedule and cash agree with each other because they're the same records. There's nothing to assemble and nothing to reconcile.

Real estate developer FAQs
What does Archdesk help real estate developers manage?
Archdesk helps developers manage the development budget from appraisal, contractor tendering and procurement, payment application verification, variations, cost to complete and contingency reporting, funder drawdown packs, and project documents in one connected platform.
Can Archdesk check contractor payment applications against site progress?
Yes. Contractor applications sit against measured progress and site records, so you see the gap between what is claimed and what is built before you certify. Certification decisions are made on evidence, not on the strength of the application.
Does Archdesk produce reporting for funders and monitoring surveyors?
Yes. Cost to date, cost to complete, committed cost and contingency status come live from the project records, so the monthly drawdown pack is an export rather than a reconciliation exercise. Monitoring surveyors see figures that trace back to certified valuations and purchase orders.
Can I track the development budget against the original appraisal?
Yes. The viability model you bought the site on becomes the budget baseline. Every commitment, variation and certified valuation is shown against it, so you always know whether the scheme still stacks up, from acquisition to exit.
Does Archdesk handle contractor tendering and procurement?
Yes. You can tender packages, compare bids on scope rather than headline price, and turn awards into contracts without re-keying. Exclusions and gaps show up before award, not on site.
How does Archdesk handle variations on a development?
Variations are captured, priced and pushed through approval with the record attached before the work is built. Approved variations update the cost to complete immediately, so the exit position moves when the scope moves, not months later.
Can Archdesk manage several developments at the same time?
Yes. Each scheme carries its own budget, program and records, and portfolio dashboards show the position across all of them. You see which developments are on appraisal and which are drifting without opening each one.
Does Archdesk manage documents and handover records?
Yes. Drawings, certificates and project documents are revision controlled with approvals tracked. Because every record lives against the scheme, the handover and asset documentation the buyer, valuer or operator asks for is already in one place.
Does Archdesk integrate with accounting software?
Yes. Archdesk integrates with Xero (as a certified partner), Sage, QuickBooks and other accounting systems, so invoices, payments and costs flow between commercial and finance teams without re-keying.
