Builder Lot Takedown

Should you sign the takedown contract?

Model the whole program — deposit at risk, escalating lot prices, and your capital recycling home by home.

The buyer's side of the takedown table: contract for N lots per quarter with a price escalator, post the deposit, build your product mix as lots arrive, and revolve a construction line that every closing pays back down. See program profit, peak capital, and homes per year before you sign.

What you get

Everything you need to make the call with confidence.
The contract, modeled
Lots per takedown, frequency, starting price, escalator, and a deposit at risk that's credited against the final takedowns — exactly how the agreements work.
Capital recycling
A revolving line funds takedowns and construction; every closing pays it down and frees your cash for the next starts. The chart shows your deepest dip — the peak capital that sizes the program.
Product mix & velocity
Plan-by-plan homes with per-plan margins against the escalated lot cost, plus homes per year — margin × velocity is what the business earns.
Both sides of the table
Pairs with the Land Development calculator, which models the same takedown contract from the developer's side.
