The Advantage of In-House Multidisciplinary Advisory Argus Developer + CostX: Uniting Revenue Projections with Construction Reality
The core strength of JEC’s Development Consultancy practice is our ability to evaluate both sides of the financial equation in-house. We integrate the industry’s premier financial modeling and cost planning software platforms:
- Argus Developer (Value, Feasibility & Revenue): Powers our development appraisals, complex cash-flow modeling, financing structures, IRR analysis, and waterfall profit returns.
- CostX (Cost, Measurement & Cost Planning): Delivers precise digital measurement, detailed construction estimating, and elemental cost planning.
By combining Argus Developer with CostX, JEC ensures that development appraisals are built on validated, real-time construction cost data rather than generalized cost assumptions.
