Real Estate Pre-Development Management Software
Start the financial foundation before groundbreaking
Rabbet Development tracks feasibility budgets, entitlement milestones, and pre-development spend in the same system that will run construction, so nothing gets rebuilt when the deal closes.
How It Works
One system from feasibility through closeout
The decisions that determine whether a project pencils are made before groundbreaking. Rabbet Development gives pre-development the same financial rigor as construction.
Build the budget at feasibility
Set up the budget at the level of detail the stage requires, summary lines while the deal is soft, full detail as it firms up. Every version is kept, so you can see how the underwriting evolved.
Track entitlement and pre-development milestones
Site selection, feasibility, entitlements, and permitting live on the same timeline as construction, with task dependencies and automated alerts, so deadlines surface before they slip.
Code pre-development spend as it happens
Legal, design, and consultant invoices tie to budget line items from day one, so pre-development cost is tracked not reconstructed at closing.
Carry everything into construction
The feasibility budget becomes the construction budget, history, documents, and adjustments intact. No re-keying, no version confusion, no lost context.
Our solution
Pre-development with the same rigor as construction
Most real estate development teams run pre-development in spreadsheets and email, then start over in project software at closing. Rabbet Development runs the whole lifecycle in one place.
 Before Rabbet |  After Rabbet |
|---|---|
Model feasibility in a spreadsheet, then rebuild the budget in new software once the loan closes. | One budget from feasibility through closeout, with every budget adjustment recorded. |
Track entitlement deadlines in email threads and calendar reminders. | Pre-development milestones live on the project timeline, with automated alerts before dates slip. |
Let pre-development invoices pile up for accounting to sort out at closing. | Spend is coded to budget lines as it happens, so closing starts from a clean record. |
