How the library works

Versioned data that stays current

Seeding on project creation

When you create a new Auckland project and apply a scaffolding, the regional library resolves current rates for every cost line item automatically. Your feasibility is credible from the first click.

Versioned data packs

The regional library is versioned. When Auckland Council updates its DC schedule, a new data pack is published. Your existing projects are not overwritten — only manually unedited values are updated.

Benchmark alerts

Cost items are flagged when they fall outside regional benchmarks for your development type. A construction cost estimate that is 30% below benchmark triggers an alert before you commit to the site.

Region-specific rates

Different zones and regions have different DC rates, consent fees, and benchmarks. The library resolves the correct values for your project location, not a generic national average.

Data source transparency

Every value in the regional library cites its source: Auckland Council fee schedules, CoreLogic NZ construction cost data, Watercare connection fee schedules. You know where each number comes from.

Annual updates included

Regional library updates are included in your subscription at no additional cost. When Auckland Council revises fees in July each year, the library update is published within the same month.

Real Auckland numbers

Specific enough to be useful

Generic benchmarks are not useful. The PropertyDevPro regional library has the specific values Auckland developers need.
