REDUCE RISK

Caldes V8 is about Consistant Appraisal Analysis.  The V8 Developer model uses an updated version of the Caldes V7 system, an industry standard, tried and tested on billions of pounds worth of real property developments since 1995, used as an approved model by most UK banks, property companies and council planning departments.

PERFECT PRESENTATIONS

If you are looking for funding from a bank, presenting to a board, or proving viability to a council planning department, V8 Developer provides full control over perfect reports, be it a quick appraisal, detailed cash flow or break down of unit information. 

MICROSOFT OFFICE STORE EXCEL ADD-IN

Combine the consistancy of a professional system with the flexibility and readability of Excel.  Caldes V8 is now a Microsoft Excel Add-in, downloaded directly from the Microsoft Add-In store within Excel.

Microsoft Excel is well established as market leader in the spreadsheet world for power, speed and most importantly, reliability.
