The Base Case Always Works. Your Job Is to Break It.
Every developer submits a perfect model. Every credit officer's job is to find where it fails — before the bank commits capital.
The Developer's Submission: 22% IRR. 1.3x DSCR. Looks Perfect.
Developers submit their best-case scenario — and it always looks clean. The numbers are internally consistent. The returns are attractive. The risk ratios appear conservative.
- 22% IRR — compelling on paper
- 1.3x DSCR — comfortably above the 1.2x covenant
- 70% LTC — within standard underwriting limits
The Reality: In 30 Years, No Project Has Gone Exactly to Plan
The Base Case assumes perfect execution. Reality doesn't cooperate. These are the three stressors that break deals — and they happen more often than developers admit:
- Hard costs +10% — material and labor overruns are routine, not exceptional; contingency buffers get consumed fast
- Rates +150 bps — a mid-construction rate hike reshapes debt service obligations and compresses margins
- Sales delayed 3 months — absorption slows, carrying costs accumulate, and cashflow timing breaks the model
One Click. Instant Downside Shock.
FeasiBuild doesn't require manual scenario modeling. With a single click, the platform shocks the developer's Base Case against a predefined downside scenario — and recalculates every metric instantly. Import base. Apply shock. No spreadsheet manipulation. No manual recalculation. The model breaks itself — in seconds, not hours.
The Result: DSCR Drops to 0.9x. The Loan Is Underwater.
Under the downside scenario, DSCR falls below the 1.2x covenant floor — triggering a technical default before construction even completes.
- Debt service obligations exceed available cashflow
- Equity cushion is insufficient to absorb cost overruns
- The deal requires restructuring — or should not be funded
A Base Case DSCR of 1.3x provides only 0.1x buffer above covenant. This is not a margin of safety — it's a margin of error.
