Operational Stream

Component 2: Cash Inflows (Operating Financials)

Component 2 models the operational performance of your asset over the holding period (typically 10 years). It calculates revenue streams, departmental expenses, fixed overheads, and working capital requirements to produce a comprehensive 10-year Profit & Loss (P&L) statement and key metrics like NOI and EBITDA.

Overview

While Component 1 focuses on the capital expenditure (CapEx) to build the asset, Component 2 focuses on the operational expenditure (OpEx) and revenue generation (OpInc). The system automatically suggests benchmark percentages for expenses based on your asset type, segment, and location, but all fields are fully editable.

What This Component Produces

  • 10-Year P&L Statement: Detailed yearly breakdown of revenues and expenses.
  • Net Operating Income (NOI): Revenue minus all operating expenses (before debt service and depreciation).
  • EBITDA: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization.
  • Working Capital Schedule: Accounts Receivable and Payable impacts on cash flow.

How This Page Is Organized

The wizard has 5 steps for Hotel and 4 steps for Warehouse, Retail / Shopping Mall, Office, Residential BTR, and Data Centre. To keep step-level help working, this page keeps exactly one heading per wizard step number; inside each step, per-asset blocks describe the exact inputs for that asset type.

  • Hotel: 1 Primary Revenue → 2 Revenue Mix → 3 Direct Costs → 4 Undistributed & Fixed → 5 Depreciation & Working Capital.
  • All other assets: 1 Primary Revenue → 2 Revenue Mix / Other Income → 3 Operating Expenses → 4 Depreciation & Working Capital.

UI Mechanics (All Assets)

  • Benchmark chip: Identifies the active benchmark set (asset · market · segment / grade · positioning), e.g. "Warehouse / Industrial · UAE · Light Manufacturing · Grade B".
  • AI badge: Value pre-filled from AI research — edit to override.
  • Amber border / Override badge: Manually overridden cell. Every card has a reset link ("Reset rental", "Reset to benchmark", etc.) that restores the AI / benchmark value.
  • Default badge: Rule-engine default (not AI-researched).
  • Locked fields (🔒): Quantities inherited from Component 1 (mostly the Component 1 Step 5 building configuration and Step 6 CapEx bases). To change them, go back to Component 1.
  • Cross-step syncs: Some cards read values from another step (e.g. warehouse recoveries sync from the OpEx step). Each sync is called out in the asset blocks below.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Step 4: Undistributed & Fixed Expenses (Hotel) / Depreciation & Working Capital (Other Assets)

For Hotel, this step is the overhead stack (undistributed & fixed expenses). For the other five assets, wizard step 4 is Depreciation, Amortization & Working Capital — see the per-asset blocks below.

🏨 Hotel — Undistributed & Fixed Expenses

  • Undistributed lines use total hotel revenue from the revenue mix step: G&A, Marketing & sales, Property operations & maintenance, Utilities, and Renovation provision (Year 1 / Year 2 / Years 3–10), all % of total hotel revenue (AI).
  • Base management fee: % of room revenue (AI).
  • Incentive fee: % of EBITDA net of fee (AI); when the fee is a % of net EBITDA (after the fee), the system solves fee = r ÷ (1 + r) × EBITDA before incentive. Direct costs from the direct costs step feed that EBITDA.
  • Reset % to benchmark.

📦 Warehouse — Depreciation, Amortization & Working Capital

  • Bases from Component 1: Construction Cost (Building & Shell); Site Improvements Cost (Yard + Loading + Common Infra); FF&E Cost.
  • Assumptions (AI): Building Useful Life, Site Improvements Life, FF&E Useful Life (years); FF&E Reserve (% of revenue); Accounts Receivable (days); Accounts Payable (days).
  • Resets: Reset depreciations, Reset WC.

🖥️ Data Centre — Depreciation, Amortization & Working Capital

🏢 Office — Depreciation, Amortization & Working Capital

  • Bases from Component 1: Construction Cost; FFE Base; Office TI Allowance (e.g. 100 / sqft × office GLA); Retail TI Allowance (e.g. 167 / sqft × retail GLA); Office and Retail Leasing Commissions.
  • Assumptions (AI): Construction Useful Life; FFE Useful Life; FFE Renovation (% of cost) at Year 6; Office / Retail TI Useful Life; Office / Retail Leasing Commission Life; Accounts Receivable (months of revenue); Accounts Payable (months of opex).
  • Resets: Reset deprec, Reset TI/comm, Reset WC.

🛍️ Retail / Shopping Mall — Depreciation, Amortization & Working Capital

  • Bases from Component 1: Construction Cost; FFE Base; Tenant Improvements (TI) Allowance (benchmark default 10% of construction); Leasing Commissions Capitalized (benchmark default 3.5% of construction).
  • Assumptions (AI): Construction Useful Life (straight-line); FFE Useful Life; FFE Renovation (% of initial) at Year 6 (capitalized at Year 6, amortized over remaining life); TI Useful Life (lease term or building life); Leasing Commissions Life (matches average lease term); Accounts Receivable (months of revenue); Accounts Payable (months of opex).
  • 10-year D&A + working capital table (const. deprec., FFE deprec., TI amort., leasing comm., total D&A, A/R, A/P, net WC).

🏠 Residential BTR — Depreciation & Working Capital

  • Bases from Component 1: Construction Cost; FFE (Appliances, Fixtures, A/C). Note: residential typically has no separate tenant improvements — finishes are included in construction cost.
  • Assumptions (AI): Construction Useful Life (straight-line); FFE Useful Life; FFE Renovation (% of initial) at Year 6 (capitalized at Year 6, amortized over remaining life); Accounts Receivable (months of revenue — rent collected monthly); Accounts Payable (months of opex — expenses paid monthly).
  • Resets: Reset depreciation, Reset WC. 10-year depreciation & working capital table.

Step 5: Depreciation & Working Capital (Hotel Only)

Hotel-only step. Construction and FF&E bases come from Component 1. FFE is straight-lined over its useful life; from Year 6 an extra FFE tranche equal to the renovation % of initial FFE is capitalized and amortized over the same life. Working capital uses revenue from the revenue mix step and total opex from the undistributed & fixed step.

Depreciation Assumptions

  • Construction Useful Life (years) (AI) — straight-line on Component 1 construction cost
  • FFE Useful Life (years) (AI) — straight-line on Component 1 FFE
  • FFE Renovation (vs initial FFE) % (AI) — capitalized at Year 6, then amortized

Working Capital

  • Accounts Receivable (months of total hotel revenue) (AI)
  • Accounts Payable (months of total operating expenses) (AI)

A 10-year depreciation & working capital table shows construction depreciation, FFE depreciation, total depreciation, A/R, A/P, and net WC per year. Reset to benchmark restores all assumptions.

Outputs & Key Metrics

Upon completing Component 2, FeasiBuild generates a dynamic 10-year projection. Each step also ends in its own 10-year table (room / base rent revenue, other income, expenses, depreciation & working capital) that feeds the P&L preview. Key metrics calculated include:

MetricDefinition
Total RevenueSum of all departmental and ancillary income.
GOP (Gross Operating Profit)Total Revenue minus Departmental and Undistributed Expenses.
NOI (Net Operating Income)GOP minus Management Fees, Property Taxes, and Insurance.
EBITDANOI minus Ground Rent (if applicable). Used for debt service coverage calculations.
