What's new in Vistral: New Build, from start to finish

New build is no longer a rare case handled by hand and in side spreadsheets. It is a first-class project category in Vistral, with its typologies, commercial phases, discounts, developer payment plan and control panel. The whole cycle is worked from the platform.

This is what is already available.

New build as its own category

  • New New Build category, alongside Building, WIP, Project and Lot.
  • Adapted tax treatment by default: 10% VAT + AJD on a new-build purchase.
  • Renovation budget per unit, not a single project line.
  • The checklist adds the «New build information (NB)» block: reservation date, private contract payment date and the Developer special account.
  • Its own pipeline milestones (Gantt) that only appear on new-build projects.

Typologies: group once, reuse always

  • Manage typologies: you choose the variables to group by (built m², floor, orientation, bedrooms, bathrooms) and Vistral creates one typology per existing combination. Names can be edited before confirming.
  • Purchase prices by typology: base price €/m² plus adjustments by feature (floor, orientation, parking spaces, storage rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms), as a percentage or a fixed amount. Applying them regenerates the simulator columns and each unit's purchase price.
  • Clear warnings if the panel m² do not match the financials, or if the number of typed units does not match the financials.
  • Documents and renders tagged by typology, with the option to mark the main render that CX will use on commercial landings.

Amenities for the landing

A project amenities block with photo, name and description: the highlighted services that feed the commercial landing, managed from the project itself.

Commercial phases

  • New Commercial phases tab (Yield projects, including new build): you define how many phases the project will have, assign units with a click —or shift+click for ranges— and set each phase's go-to-market date.
  • Price matrix by phase and unit: the estimated purchase price of each unit in each phase, with the active phase highlighted. Drag-fill, CSV import/export, and European number format.
  • Phase activation with a double check: you review the developer, bank account and payment plan, and explicitly confirm that the account shown is the developer's special account. Without the developer's IBAN on the checklist, the phase cannot be activated.
  • Only units in active phases get high priority in Airtable, and Vistral warns you about units left without an assigned phase.

Discounts with a trail

  • Manage discounts by phase and unit, as a percentage or a fixed amount, with a mandatory reason.
  • The base price is always kept; the effective price is calculated. The tooltip shows base price, discount and final price.
  • Discounts are stackable (with prior confirmation) and grouped into rounds: you can withdraw a whole round at once.
  • Applied discount log: date, user, phase, unit, type, value, reason and status (active or withdrawn).
  • Discounts survive a reorganisation of the commercial phases.

Price history

A full audit of price changes by phase and unit: date, user, phase, unit, previous price, new price and variation. There is no need to reconstruct afterwards why a unit sold at that price.

Unit sale statuses

A new-build lifecycle on each unit: Available → On hold → Reserved → Purchased → Delivered, with normalised labels so dashboards and stock counts add up.

Payment plan and PropHero profit

  • New-build payment blocks: Reservation, Private contract, First construction payment and Deed, each with its PH profit % and amount.
  • PH profit split into instalments: monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or custom frequency (every X months), with % and amount per instalment and an automatic summary.
  • PH advance (amount and payment date), Carry (amount and PropHero %) and Marketing fee (per unit and total, with its collection date).
  • An explicit on-screen notice: the Marketing fee is not part of the PH profit % or its split — it is added separately to total PH profit, to Airtable and to cashflow.
  • Sales target: percentage of units and deadline.
  • Payment dates by project or by unit, depending on how the deal is set up.

Unit breakdown

One table with everything that defines each unit: identity (address, cadastral reference), features (usable area, terrace, common areas, floor, orientation, parking, storage, bedrooms, bathrooms), acquisition, transformation, fees and financing, annual costs and commercial data. With filters, inline editing and a direct link to each unit. Channel distinguishes PropHero from B2B2C and status syncs with Airtable.

New Build control panel in Supply

One row per deal and the full economic picture beside it: number of units, PH advance, commitment €, total fee €, sales + fees €, total sales, average asking price, fee % and % by milestone (reservation, contract, start of works, deed), fee of each milestone, marketing fee, estimated start of commercialisation, private contract, building licence, deed, sales target (count, % and deadline) and the PH / B2B2C split. Alongside the PH profit cashflow and the deposits view.

Kanban ready to commercialise

Kanban cards include readiness progress and sorting by launch-date pressure, so you can see at a glance which project will be late to market.

New build can now be worked end to end from Vistral: typologies, prices, phases, discounts, payments and tracking in one place.
