For property developers and clients
You own the project. You should own the numbers too
As the client you pay for every change the contractor notifies, and you answer for the final cost to the board and the bank. AIMZ gives you one final forecast per project, every change claim assessed before it becomes an invoice, and the portfolio consolidated across your project companies.
The challenge
The final cost is your responsibility, but the numbers sit with someone else
A client manages on the basis of reports produced by the contractor, in formats that change from project to project. The contingency gets used up without anyone seeing when it happened, and the portfolio only exists as a stack of spreadsheets – one per project company.
Reports you can't interrogate
The contractor reports in their own format, once a month. You get a status update, not the figures behind it – and cannot see what sits behind the number without asking.
The contingency disappears unnoticed
Approved changes draw on the contingency without anyone keeping a running tally. By the time it is used up, the decision to spend it has already been made.
The portfolio does not exist as numbers
Each project company has its own spreadsheet. Answering the board on what the total portfolio will cost to complete is a consolidation exercise, not a lookup.
How AIMZ works
Built for whoever owns the budget
One final forecast per project, not one per report recipient
Land, design, construction cost, client costs, finance and contingency sit in the same chart of accounts on every project. Approved budget, revised budget and final forecast stand side by side, and the variance is a number you can click into – down to the individual invoice.
Change claims assessed before they become an invoice
Every claim from the contractor is registered with notice date, justification, amount and status. You see what is approved, disputed or rejected, which deadline is running, and what the backlog of unprocessed claims amounts to against the contingency – before the amount turns up as an invoice.
Liquidity and construction loan month by month
The payment plan periodises the forecast, so you see how much capital the project draws each month and when the next drawdown needs to be in place. Index adjustment is factored in, and the schedule can be shared with the bank and auditor without anyone assembling a separate spreadsheet.
What property developers get out of it
Project types
Project types Norwegian developers run on AIMZ
Contract form and cost structure are set per project, so one portfolio can hold several types side by side.
AIMZ puts us in a strong strategic position to face the future. The days of financial tracking in Excel are over, and we need to get on this train now.
Questions we often get
We have one project company per project. Does AIMZ handle that?
Yes. Each project can sit in its own company with its own chart of accounts and its own ledger, while the portfolio is consolidated across them. You can look at one project in isolation or all of them together without moving data.
Can we manage against the approved budget and the revised budget at the same time?
That is the default in AIMZ. The approved budget is locked, revisions are tracked with date and justification, and the final forecast is measured against both. The board sees the variance against what was originally approved, not against a budget that has moved along the way.
How do we follow up change claims from the contractor?
Each claim is registered with notice date, justification, amount and status according to the contract's deadlines. Disputed amounts are kept out of the approved forecast but shown as exposure, so you know what may be coming before it arrives.
Can the bank and the auditor get our figures directly?
The payment plan and the forecast can be exported or shared as a report, with links down to the individual invoice. Because everything is registered with a source, you do not have to build a separate pack for every drawdown.
We already use an accounting system. Does AIMZ replace it?
No. AIMZ reads invoices and vouchers from the accounting system and lays the project finances on top of them. The ledger stays where it is – AIMZ is built for the forecast, the changes and the portfolio.
