River for Homebuilders

Land development, vertical construction, draw schedules, sales pacing, and investor reporting. Modeled together, in one Space per deal.

The status quo

What slows homebuilders down today

  • Two spreadsheets, one dealLand development and vertical construction live in two different spreadsheets.
  • Numbers that never syncDraws, sales pacing, and cash flow rarely stay in sync.
  • Rebuilt from scratch every projectInvestor and lender materials get rebuilt by hand every project.
  • Hidden broken formulasOne broken formula in a copied workbook can make a marginal deal look attractive.
  • A week for a one-page updateQuarterly investor updates take a week instead of an afternoon.

The shift

Before vs after

Before
  • Last deal's spreadsheet forked into the new one
  • Separate lender, investor, and internal files
  • Manual monthly updates
  • Assumptions buried in email threads
After
  • One Space per project
  • Model, docs, checklists, and updates wired together
  • Reusable homebuilder workflow
  • AI with deal context
