ARGUS EstateMaster is the portfolio-DCF tool in the Altus ARGUS stack. Strategic-land teams use it for cross-asset DCF, phased land drawdown and option-modelling; scheme-level S106 cashflow remains the Argus Developer use case. Pricing is enterprise quote-only, bundled into the Altus ARGUS commercial framework.

Portfolio DCF use case

EstateMaster aggregates per-asset cashflow across a strategic land portfolio, supporting option-modelling on drawdown timing, phased delivery and joint-venture splits. Scheme-level residual appraisal sits with Argus Developer; EstateMaster sits on top.

S106 trigger payments in EstateMaster

EstateMaster handles phased S106 trigger payments per asset within the portfolio cashflow. The model exposes how a back-loaded contribution schedule on one site affects the portfolio IRR and the cross-asset debt-service profile.

When to choose EstateMaster

When the team carries more than approximately five assets in parallel with shared finance or option agreements. Single-scheme teams should stay with Argus Developer for committee work and Aprao for lender-facing appraisals.
