RERA asks developers to keep 70% of what buyers pay for a project in a separate account and to withdraw only against certified progress. Most of the effort goes into matching receipts, bookings and bank lines by hand. One governed model of buyers, projects and bank accounts turns it into a daily reconciliation with people deciding the exceptions.
Delays and cost overruns rarely arrive as a surprise; they accumulate in daily progress reports, site photos, material receipts and contractor bills that nobody reads together. Reading that data on one model gives project directors weeks of warning — and checks bills before they are paid.
The months around possession — snags, registration, defect claims, the first resident tickets — shape how buyers talk about a developer for years. Treating units, snags and tickets as one record, and triaging them with agents, shortens possession and keeps facility teams ahead of complaints.
Asset owners and REITs answer to unitholders, lenders and regulators on numbers assembled from leases, rent rolls, valuations and collections. A portfolio model that tags every number by its basis — reported, estimated or modelled — makes those answers faster and more defensible.
Real estate runs on money moving between buyers, contractors, lenders and regulated accounts. Agents can do much of the reading and reconciling, but the design has to start from what they must never do on their own — and from consent for every buyer's data.
