Tract-PIE is an easy-to-use, comprehensive software program that address the unique planning requirements of the real estate development industry.

This program generates accurate and detailed projections of cash flow, loan flow, profit & loss, balance sheet, and budget analysis projections for single and/or multiple phased development projects. The forecasts are based on fundamental input variables, and may reflect projects in the initial planning stages or already underway.

Financial Analysis Software

Supporting users since 1987 and with more than 800 companies world-wide using the system, Tract-PIE is the choice for builders, developers, lenders and investors, appraisers and consultants who want to analyze the feasibility of various new home and income producing projects. That’s because they provide consistency, with quick and accurate financial models that no spreadsheet or in-house program can equal. The system calculates so fast that even the most sophisticated partnership structures can be analyzed quickly, whether for a simple 50-unit build-out, apartment complex or multiple product lines in a masterplanned community. That includes subdivisions, condominiums, townhouses and lot sales.

The Cash Flow Forecast of Tract-PIE displays the results of a detailed process by which all cost and income items are spread across the months (or quarters or years) of the project. The project may include an unlimited number of direct construction starts for production units in addition to model units. Up to 10 design types with separate costs and sales prices may be included in the product mix. Lot premiums are also included. The project may consist of lot sales as well.

Based on an input for average monthly sales rate, Tract-PIE automatically produces a seasonally adjusted monthly sales projection. This sales projection may reflect the results of a pre-sale period (prior to the grand opening month) during which sales are subject to cancellation. Optionally, you may provide periodic unit sales as an overriding entry. The schedule of unit closings follows the unit sales by the indicated escrow period, but limited by the availability of completed inventory.

Tract-PIE features the use of scheduled-factoring that automatically time-phases the cash flows resulting from the start-up schedules for direct construction. The timing of the direct construction starts may be either user-defined or automatically scheduled in correlation to unit sales. The start-to-finish cycle for direct construction starts determines how the dollars will be spread in accordance with stored spread factors or on a straight-line basis.

Tract-PIE’s  Cash Flow Forecast clearly displays the project “sequence of events” and cash flows for sales revenue and all cost categories. The net cash flow before financing is then displayed and becomes the basis for the pre-financing discounted cash flow analysis consisting of net present value and internal rate of return.
