Use the Soft Costs section to organise project costs outside the build-cost groups. The section name may differ with your language setting.

Add a cost group

  1. Select Add Cost Group.
  2. Name the group for its purpose, such as marketing or professional fees.
  3. Add the individual costs. Examples include brochure and website costs, a show unit, or architect, engineer and quantity-surveyor fees.

Set the basis for each cost

Enter a cost as a percentage of hard cost, a percentage of gross development value (GDV), or a fixed amount in the project currency. For example, an architect fee entered as 1% of GDV calculates from the project's GDV.

Save recurring items in a template

Include your usual cost groups and items in a template so they act as a checklist for future projects. Percentage-based items update when the relevant hard cost or GDV changes; review and adjust the items for each project.
