Price a unit wrong and you either lose money or lose a deal. Across a project with hundreds of units — each with its own base price, preferential location charges, floor rise, taxes and payment plan — keeping every cost sheet accurate is genuinely hard, and spreadsheets make it harder. Pricing that lives with the inventory solves most of the problem.
Why pricing goes wrong
Cost sheet errors creep in through the gaps:
- Prices are updated in one sheet but quoted from an older copy.
- PLC, floor rise or charges are applied inconsistently between agents.
- A price revision does not reach everyone, so old quotes keep going out.
- Payment plans are calculated by hand and get the arithmetic wrong.
Each error is small; together they erode margins and credibility.
Pricing belongs with the unit
The reliable approach is to keep pricing attached to each unit in the same system as the inventory. Base price, PLC, charges and the applicable payment plan live on the unit itself, so a quote or cost sheet is generated from current, correct figures — not retyped from a salesperson's notes. When a price is revised centrally, every future quote reflects it at once.
What good pricing management gives you
- One source for every unit's price and charges, always current.
- Consistent application of PLC, floor rise and taxes, with no manual arithmetic.
- Cost sheets and payment plans generated automatically from the unit's data.
- A record of price revisions, so you can see what changed and when.
Why it ties to inventory
Pricing and availability are two views of the same unit. When they live together, a cost sheet is never issued for a unit that is already gone, and a price change and a status change are part of one consistent record. That is why pricing sits inside live inventory, not in a separate file.
