01 Operational Cost Model
02 Feasability Model
03 Scenario & Sensitivity
OPEX & CAPEX Modelling
Build detailed, bottom-up forecasts based on assets, service requirements, phasing and operational strategy.
Scenario & Sensitivity Analysis
Test development assumptions, service levels and delivery strategies to understand risk and improve financial outcomes.
Service Charge Strategy
Establish transparent and equitable charging structures across plots, assets, precincts and stakeholder groups.
An operational cost model and a feasibility cost model, built on the same asset data and assumptions, so operating cost and investment case always agree
What the asset will cost to run, recover and renew from first budget to steady-state.
01
Operational Costing
Bottom-up OPEX models built from asset data, service scopes and phasing, giving developers a defensible view of annual operating cost long before handover and first budget setting.
02
Reserve Fund Study
Forecasts the replacement and renewal of every major asset over its life, sizing reserve contributions so future capital works are funded rather than deferred.
03
Cost Apportionment
Allocates shared cost fairly across plots, precincts, uses and stakeholders, with clear apportionment keys that owners, operators and regulators can interrogate.
04
Life Cycle Costing
Whole-life cost modelling across 30 to 50 year horizons, comparing design and procurement options on total cost of ownership rather than capital cost alone.
05
CAPEX Recovery
Structures the recovery of infrastructure and public realm capital expenditure, showing how substantial CAPEX can be distributed efficiently and equitably between stakeholders.
06
Developer Cost Risks
Identifies where design, phasing and adoption decisions create unfunded operating cost, quantifying the exposure so risk can be mitigated before it becomes a liability.
Whether the development stacks up cashflow, returns and the capital needed to close the gap.
01
Cashflow Forecasting &
Analysis
Phased cashflow models covering development, mobilisation and steady-state operation, showing funding requirements and timing across the full asset lifecycle.
02
Profit & Loss Forecasting
Operating profit and loss forecasts by entity, phase and tenure type, connecting revenue, service charge recovery and operating cost into a single consolidated view.
03
Financial & Investor Metrics
The metrics investors and boards rely on (IRR, NPV, payback and yield) generated from the same model that drives the operational assumptions.
04
Break-Even Analysis
Establishes the occupancy, tariff and cost levels at which the asset covers its operating obligations, defining the margin available for commercial decision-making.
05
Financial Gap Analysis
& Total Capital Required
Quantifies the gap between recoverable income and true operating cost, and the total capital required to bridge it across the development programme.
06
Sensitivity & Scenario Analysis
Stress-tests assumptions on phasing, inflation, occupancy and service levels, so clients can test scenarios, manage risk and adjust as the development evolves.
Strategic and operational advisory, delivered together across city-scale developments.
Giga-Project
Qiddiya
GJC developed master community cost allocation and operational cost models for Qiddiya, helping test affordability as the masterplan evolved. Subsequent district-level models connected city-wide operating assumptions with detailed local requirements.
Mega-Project
Rua-Al-Haram
GJC developed service charge cost models at master community and building levels for Rua Al Haram, supported by a service charge methodology report and financial framework to guide budgeting and cost recovery.
Complex Plot
Janu
GJC developed a service charge cost and apportionment model for Janu Al Marjan Island, modelling projected service costs and their allocation across the hotel and branded residence development.
Speak with GJC about operational cost modelling, financial modelling, OPEX and CAPEX forecasting, service charge calculations, lifecycle costing and scenario analysis across Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
