Excel-like CRE deal models you can audit, share privately, and export

The freedom of Excel, without building, auditing or maintaining the formulas. Underwrite, manage, and share commercial real estate deals. Templates handle the standard work. Every assumption is yours to take over.

CRE Build is multifamily deal modeling software that runs in your browser. Share a private copy with anyone you choose, not a PDF.

Insert a row. The math still points where it should.

A downloaded deal model is someone else’s logic. One inserted row and the tax line sums the wrong range, with no record of what changed. If the numbers stop tying out, the app tells you.

Hardcode any line, switch an input to an alternate method where one is offered, or write a custom formula on expense and budget lines. Each line you take over is flagged on the line.

Take over any assumption

Templates handle the standard work. Hardcode any line, switch an input to an alternate method where one is offered, or write a custom formula on expense and budget lines. Each line you take over is flagged on the line.

You start from a CRE Build template. You can import a unit mix from a spreadsheet, but not a whole workbook. From there, hardcode any line, switch an input to an alternate method where one is offered, or write a custom formula on expense and budget lines.

Methodology shows how every number is calculated.

Share the model, not the PDF

Invite your lender to work in their own copy and send changes back, with terms and disputed underwriting kept apart so you can price each one. Share a private copy with anyone you choose. They review it free and pull in your updates when you publish.

A withheld section is absent from that copy. Its assumptions never leave our servers, and every figure it would state is removed before the copy is built. Lender review says what a collaborator sees. Security says how the private copy is enforced. Methodology sets out what a recipient can work out, and what stays out of reach.

Take your numbers to Excel

Take any version of your deal to your lender, partners or investment committee in the format they already use. Export any version to Excel as a snapshot of CRE Build's figures; row totals are SUM formulas, and the model itself recalculates in CRE Build, not in the workbook. Every other cell is a plain value.

Export is the freedom to leave with the figures. Changing an assumption in Excel does not recompute the model.

Run the pipeline beside the model

Board, table, and map over one deal list, from Sourcing to Closed. Once a deal is underwritten, its card shows levered IRR and peak equity from the model. It is not a broker CRM, and it is not a property-management system of record.

Stages are yours. Rename, reorder, or add them. New accounts start with Sourcing, Screening, Underwriting, Committee, LOI, Due Diligence, Closed, and Dead.

Tasks and deadlines carry due dates. Overdue and near-deadline deals are flagged on the board. Notes record who wrote them and when.

One set of filters (search, stage, strategy, market) works across every view. Save a view by name and it stays in the sidebar.

The table totals your active deals. The map sizes each deal by capitalization.

The board on the homepage is sample UI, not customers. The Skyline is a product demo, not a customer result.

Is CRE Build the same as CREBuilder?

No. CRE Build (cre.build) is deal modeling software for underwriting, managing, and sharing commercial real estate deals. CREBuilder is a different product (a CRM). If you searched for CREBuilder, you’re in the wrong place.
