XLCS Real Estate Project Full Cost Calculation System Core v8 Update

XLCS Real Estate Project Full Cost Calculation

XLCS Core Edition (XLCS Core V8) is officially launched! Leveraging AI tools, extensive VBA code has been used to rewrite the function formulas from previous versions. VBA offers advantages in execution efficiency, handling complex logic, automation, and custom functionality, enabling advanced features that even complex formulas couldn’t achieve to meet user needs.

Starting from XLCS Core V8.2, to reduce version complexity and update workload, the template no longer distinguishes between Excel and WPS versions. It is now fully compatible.

XLCS Beginner Edition (XLCS Lite V1) is suitable for novices to perform one-click calculations and trial features. If more calculation conditions are needed, please use the XLCS Core Edition. Faced with the overwhelming features and settings of the Core Edition, many beginners may feel at a loss. In such cases, trying out the lightweight Lite version first is recommended. It extracts only the key economic and technical indicators and calculation elements (land price, three fee rates, etc.) from conventional projects to output reports identical to the Core Edition.

Template Introduction:

The XLCS Real Estate Project Full Cost Calculation Template is based on the characteristics of project expansion in Southwest Greentown projects, drawing on the strengths and features of full cost calculation templates from major developers like Greentown, Sunac, Country Garden, Jinke, Zhongliang, and Zhangtai. It integrates and compiles a fully intelligent dynamic full cost calculation template by combining Greentown’s product type configuration standards and preset conditions for conventional projects. By simply entering key and local indicators of the project, the template automatically outputs a complete set of engineering, sales, financing, tax, cash flow, and operational tables. What would typically require several days for cost professionals to complete with the cooperation of engineering/sales/finance departments can now be done by even a novice in just ten minutes. The entire template includes over 90 worksheets, covering all static/dynamic calculation analysis charts for real estate project calculations.
