This book is a practical guide to using Argus Developer, the worldβs most widely used real estate development feasibility modeling software. Using practical examples and many case studies, it takes readers beyond the basic training Argus provides in-depth knowledge required to analyze potential real estate deals and help ensure a profitable development.
Argus Developer in Practice fills an important gap in the market. Argus Developer, and its predecessor Circle Developer, has long had a dominant position as the primary real estate development appraisal tool. It is used all over the world, including North America, the UK and Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australasia, on a variety of projects from simple residential schemes to huge and complex master planned, mixed-use commercial, residential, and leisure projects. It is also used on Β«refurbsΒ»--taking an existing building or complex and upgrading it or turning it into something entirely different. The manual that comes with the program, while comprehensive, focuses on features and does not take youβas does this bookβthrough the development/project appraisal process step by step. Using a case study format, this is in fact the first book that concentrates on the practical application and use of the program.
