The math is brutal
Every month of delay is a month of construction financing ticking. Here's what that looks like on a real project.
Example: $10M project at 8% loan rate
The P90 scenario costs $533K more than P50. That's the risk you're taking without data.
IRR sensitivity to permit duration
On a typical multifamily deal, the difference between a 5-month and 14-month permit process isn't just inconvenient — it cuts your IRR roughly in half.
Typical multifamily assumptions. Actual results vary by market, capital structure, and project size.
Prevesta tells you which scenario is most likely — before you commit capital.
