Pricing position
Quote only; pricing requires direct negotiation with Altus. Source: altusgroup.com/solutions/argus-developer (verified 2026-06-21).
No public pricing disclosed; widely characterised on review sites as expensive vs SME-focused alternatives. Sister product ARGUS EstateMaster also subscription-only.
Altus does not publish a list price. The estimator therefore does not carry an inferred rate for ARGUS Developer.Cashflow engine for S106 phasing
S106 obligations enter ARGUS Developer as triggered cashflow lines tied to per-period sales rates, occupation milestones, or specified dates. The model surfaces the NPV impact of front-loaded versus back-loaded contribution timing, which is material for build-to-rent and long-phase residential.
Desktop versus cloud
ARGUS Developer remains a desktop product within the Altus ARGUS stack. Altus has progressively moved cashflow and portfolio modelling into the broader ARGUS Cloud product set; the desktop appraisal product is the established committee-grade tool.
Training overhead
Realistically several weeks of training plus mentor review of the first committee submission for a junior surveyor. Altus offers a training programme; the certification is a recognised gating step for the junior surveyor career path.
