BESPOKE
ORIGINS
Back in 2003, our Founder, Steve Surridge was consulting and building bespoke proprietary models in excel for some of the most successful Commercial Real Estate businesses. Savills, JLL and Colliers to name a few, he worked hand-in-hand with the people on the ground to produce a tool to calculate all the variables at play.
REFINED IN THE MARKET
Word spread about a new tool in the market. As these things tend to do in a close-knit Commercial Real Estate (CRE) community, demand for the product grew organically. Demand inspired the base model to be aggregated and the licensing structure was born. The Forbury team began to form to support the growing customer base.
EVOLUTION FOR THE END-USER
The success of the product was built on the merits of Excel. Familiarity and fast assimilation were the core strengths of the tool. The outputs, reliability and accuracy cemented the product in the market as the number one valuation tool for commercial transactions in Australia and NZ. In 2016, for the sake of scalability, security and maintenance, we retained the Excel interface and took the model to the cloud. Using a powerful cloud engine makes it lightning quick (2.29 second average calculation speed, to be exact).
