Cost sheet software for Indian real estate, priced to the rupee.

The all-in number is the only number the buyer cares about

A buyer asks what a 3BHK costs. The honest answer in Indian real estate is never the headline rate. It is the base price on saleable area, plus floor rise that changes every few storeys, plus PLC for the east-facing corner, plus a covered parking slot, plus club membership and a corpus deposit, plus GST, plus stamp duty and registration, plus in many projects a maintenance advance.

Quote the headline and the buyer feels ambushed at booking. Quote the all-in and you have a serious conversation. The problem is that computing the all-in correctly, for a specific unit, in the middle of a phone call, is exactly the kind of task humans get wrong — and a wrong quote is not a rounding error, it is either a discount you have to honour or a credibility loss you cannot recover.

SaudaFlow computes it from the rate card, for the specific unit, every time. The broker chooses the flat; the software does the arithmetic. What used to be a forty-minute Excel round trip through the CRM team is a two-tap action from the lead card, which is why response times on quote requests collapse once a team switches.

• Base, floor rise, PLC, parking, club, corpus in one break-up
• GST applied at the rate that fits the project's status
• Stamp duty and registration at your state's rates
• Construction-linked or possession-linked payment schedule attached

Getting the tax lines right, without pretending they are simple

GST on residential property is not one number. An under-construction unit is taxed at 5% without input tax credit, affordable housing at 1%, and a completed property with an occupancy certificate attracts none at all. A cost sheet that hardcodes a single rate will be wrong for most of a builder's portfolio and embarrassingly wrong on the ready-to-move tower.

Stamp duty and registration are state subjects. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh and Telangana all differ, several states have concessions for women buyers, and cities layer on cesses of their own. SaudaFlow holds these as workspace configuration rather than as a national constant, so the number on the sheet is the number your buyer will actually pay at the sub-registrar.

GST-correct invoicing runs through the rest of the product too. Brokerage invoices carry your GSTIN, apply place-of-supply rules, and compute TDS under section 194H at 2% on base commission — the same discipline, applied to the money coming in rather than going out.

Versioning, discounts and the argument three weeks later

Every cost sheet generated is stored against the lead with its timestamp, its author and its exact numbers. This sounds like an accounting nicety until the week a buyer arrives at booking holding a screenshot of a figure nobody in the office recognises.

With versioned sheets, that conversation takes ten seconds: here is what was sent, on which date, by whom, with which discount applied. Where a discount needs approval, the sheet carries the approval rather than living in a manager's WhatsApp. And because sheets are per unit, "the price we gave for a similar flat" stops being a source of accidental precedent.

For builders, the same record is the basis of a clean handover to the CRM and finance teams at booking. The agreement value, the payment schedule, and the taxes quoted are already structured data, so the booking form is a confirmation rather than a re-entry exercise.

• Every sheet versioned with author, timestamp and figures
• Discount approvals carried on the sheet, not in a chat
• Sheets stored against the lead for the life of the relationship
• Booking picks up the structured numbers instead of retyping them

Built for the phone, because that is where quoting happens

The quote request rarely arrives at a desk. It arrives while a broker is at a site, in a car, or standing in a sales gallery with the buyer in front of them. A cost sheet tool that only works on a laptop is a cost sheet tool that gets replaced by a WhatsApp message containing approximate numbers.

Cost sheets are part of the 47 features that run natively in the Android app, so the full break-up can be generated, previewed and shared from a handset with the buyer watching. Offline, the sheet still generates from the cached rate card and queues the share until signal returns.

The PDF itself carries your branding, your RERA registration details where you display them, and the disclaimer text your legal team wants on every quote — configured once at workspace level rather than pasted by whoever is sending it.
