WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Five tools in one workbook. One clearer first pass.
Mark the unknowns, test the assumptions and decide what deserves deeper investigation.
TAB 02
Development feasibility calculator
Bring land, build, soft-cost and financing assumptions into one first-pass assessment.
TAB 03
Construction budget starter
Lay out major cost categories and identify estimates that need better evidence.
TAB 04
Deal analysis sheet
Compare opportunities on a consistent set of assumptions.
TAB 05
Development timeline
Map acquisition, due diligence, approvals, construction and exit milestones.
THE WORKFLOW
A spreadsheet should make the questions clearer.
Start with whether the site can support the plan. Then test the full cost of getting from land to a finished, sold home.
This example illustrates the workflow. It is not a screenshot of a supplied file, a real project or a forecast.
ILLUSTRATIVE FIRST-PASS EXAMPLE · USD
| Assumed selling price | $1,000,000 |
| Land and closing | $220,000 |
| Construction | $500,000 |
| Soft, finance and selling costs | $150,000 |
| Contingency | $50,000 |
| Illustrative project surplus | $80,000 |
| Margin on assumed revenue | 8.0% |
A $40,000 construction increase reduces this example’s surplus to $40,000 before tax. Assumptions—not a promised outcome.
REAL PROJECT PROOF
251 Traditions Drive — a North Atlanta development project.
A finished home, internal cost control, and project economics from the same operating environment behind the Toolkit.
251 TRADITIONS DRIVE · ALPHARETTA, GEORGIA
Built by Izad Development, led by Sohrab Izad.
This is the kind of project context the spreadsheets are built around: acquisition basis, construction spend, carrying and transaction costs, budget control, and a pending exit under contract. The figures below are approximate project-specific economics from the completed home.
Sale price (under contract)
$2.75M
Total project cost
~$1.914M
Projected profit
~$836K
Projected return on total project cost
~43.7%
Illustrative project projections based on current assumptions and contract terms. The transaction has not closed. Final costs and proceeds may change. These figures are not guaranteed and do not represent expected results for other projects.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE FILES
Sohrab Izad.
Construction experience, applied to development.
After more than fifteen years in construction and building materials in Canada, I am applying that operating experience to residential development in Georgia through Izad Development.
I share the questions, systems and working structures that help me organize a deal. They are starting points—not a substitute for local expertise.
BEFORE YOU SIGN UP
A few useful distinctions.
Is the Starter Pack really free?
Yes. No payment details or community membership are required. Request the workbook, confirm your email, and receive the Starter Pack through email.
How is the paid Toolkit different?
The free workbook helps you screen an opportunity. The US$149 Toolkit provides more detailed underwriting, due diligence, contract starting templates and budget-versus-actual tracking. Inspect the paid files before deciding.
Does this workbook tell me whether I should buy a property?
No. They organize information and assumptions. Feasibility, zoning, financing, contracts and permitting must be independently checked with qualified local professionals.

New subscribers receive a confirmation request. After confirmation, the delivery email provides the workbook. You may also receive occasional related emails, each with an unsubscribe option.
