§ 01 — The problem

Real estate still makes
billion-euro decisions
from spreadsheets.

01

It is not a data problem.

Every developer has the data. It lives in twelve places, owned by ten people, and arrives a month late.

02

It is a speed problem.

A 2% deviation in month two compounds into an 18% problem at handover. Speed of detection is the entire game.

03

AI fixes it.

PROBIS recognises budget deviations the moment they appear, recalculates KPIs as costs shift, and produces lender-ready reports on demand.

§ The compound problem

Cost overruns don't happen overnight. They compound.

Time →
I

A 2% deviation in month two…

is a budget conversation. Twelve people, three spreadsheets, one PDF a month later.

II

…compounds into 8% in month six…

now it is a financing conversation. Lenders ask questions. Equity asks harder ones.

III

…and an 18% problem at handover.

now it is a board conversation. Margins gone. Trust eroded. PROBIS catches it in week two.

§ 02 — The platform

Seven modules. One source of truth.

Each module is a category leader on its own. Together they form a single financial command center — every euro accounted for, every change propagated, every decision sourced.
01
Calculate
AI + benchmark calculation. The most profitable variant in seconds.
02
Control
Real-time cost control. Catch deviations the moment they appear.
03
Finance
Financing KPIs that recalculate automatically when costs shift.
04
Manage
Project orchestration across portfolios — one source of truth.
05
Cashflow
Live liquidity forecasts tied to every contract and milestone.
06
Workflow
Automated approvals, invoice verification, change orders.
07
Contract
Every contract, every commitment, indexed and queryable.
Calculate

The most profitable variant — at the touch of a button.

AI compares your scheme against benchmarks from comparable real-world projects. Generate scenarios in seconds. Recalculate when parameters change.

03 / 06

Macro + micro analysis

Regulatory rules, construction costs, risk and revenue — across project levels.

04 / 06

Workflow automation

Task assignment, approvals, invoice verification — from initiation to completion.

05 / 06

Conversion intelligence

Office-to-residential conversion potential assessed via big-data analytics.

01 · Build

You become a software company.

A controlling team, a data team, an SRE on-call rota, and a roadmap that competes with the work you actually wanted to do. The bill arrives every quarter, regardless of project velocity.

€2M–5M+
over the first three years, before opportunity cost
02 · Stretch

You scale by adding tabs.

Free at the seat. Paid in reconciliation, in PDF exports the night before lender calls, in deviations that surface six weeks late. Spreadsheets do not break — they quietly stop being trusted.

6 weeks

03 · PROBIS

You buy the standard.

Twenty years of controlling logic, AI, benchmarks and lender-grade reporting — wired into one platform. Production data in week four. Your team focuses on judgement, not data wrangling.

Week 4
first live cost dashboard, on real project data
The reframe
"Build vs buy" is the wrong question.
The real question is whether financial controlling is your competitive advantage — or your operating floor.

For developers, banks and funds, controlling is a floor — table-stakes everyone is expected to clear. The leverage is in the time, the people, and the capital it frees up to do the actual work: structure deals, win projects, deploy capital faster.

PROBIS is the standard so your team does not have to reinvent it — and so your reports stop being a translation exercise between tools.

§ The category

Plenty of software touches a project.
Very little controls the money.

Cost management in European real estate is a specific discipline with specific rules. Here is what the adjacent categories do and where they stop.

Point tools for invoices or approvals
Solve one workflow. Leave the cost model, the financing view and the lender pack untouched.
01
Generic project-management platforms
Track tasks and schedules well. Do not speak German cost-group logic or construction finance.
02
BI dashboards on top of the ERP
Show you the past accurately. Cannot forecast a variant, recalculate a KPI or run an approval.
03
US-built development platforms
Strong on US workflows. Weak on DIN 276, HOAI, EU data residency and European lender reporting.
04
PROBIS is built for one job: the financial control of a real estate development, from first calculation to final handover — under European cost-group standards, with the AI layer already running.
§ Implementation

Four weeks from kickoff
to live cost control.

Run by our controlling specialists, not a ticket queue. Your team spends roughly four hours a week on it.

Week 1

Structure

Cost plan, trades and project structure mapped to your existing chart of accounts. No template gymnastics.

Week 2

Connect

First ERP and document-system connections live. Historical contracts imported and reconciled.

Week 3

Calibrate

Benchmarks tuned to your asset class and region. Approval workflows configured to your signature matrix.

Week 4

Go live

Production cost dashboard on real project data. First automated lender report generated and reviewed.

§ In their own words

Real numbers. Real teams.

PROBIS catches deviations six weeks before our internal reports would. That is the entire point of cost control.

§ Frequently asked

Answers,
plainly.

How long does a typical PROBIS rollout take? +

Most teams have production data in week four. Full multi-module deployment runs 8–12 weeks depending on integrations.

Does PROBIS replace our ERP? +

No. PROBIS sits above your ERP, accounting, and document systems and pulls live data from each. We integrate; we do not displace.

Can banks and lenders see directly into our projects? +

Yes — read-only investor dashboards with the exact KPIs lenders ask for. One-click reports replace email chains.

Where is our data stored? +

EU data residency by default. Single-tenant and on-prem options available for enterprise. ISO 27001 + SOC 2 Type II.

How is AI used in PROBIS? +

AI catches budget deviations the moment they appear, generates the most profitable variant against benchmarks, and automates approvals — all bidirectional with the live cost data.
