Updated November 2026: the feasibility calculator now opens from the Feasibility card on a property's Due Diligence tab, and My Properties is now called Property Pipeline. The steps below show how it works today.
In short: the Stash feasibility calculator is a property development feasibility tool built into the map. Pick a site, enter the purchase price, the lots or dwellings you plan to build and your costs, and Stash works out the total cost, net profit and profit on cost as you type. You can save each scenario against the property and reuse your figures as templates. Run a feasibility study.

With the help of our Development team and with the desire of providing excellent customer experience, we have finally released a new milestone for Stash – our all new Stash v3!
Determining if a potential site will work for a developer’s project often requires a comprehensive feasibility study. For this reason, performing a feasibility study is the initial step of the design and construction process. This initial step should be performed during the site selection process to determine if a site is suitable to meet the needs and expectations of the client. Basically, the feasibility study, when done at this stage, will let the developer know if the project site will work financially, with regulatory approvals, and with the developer’s time frame.
Feasibility studies can also be a great marketing tool and can reduce your due diligence period. If your project needs funding or is presented to a committee before final approval, a feasibility study can work as an excellent tool to present your ideas, and can also educate others on what to realistically expect during the land development process. However, feasibility studies aren’t just for huge developments, they are recommended to anyone looking to purchase a site for a specific purpose.
How to run a feasibility in Stash today
To run a feasibility on a site inside Stash, follow these steps:
- Log in to Stash.
- Open the property: search for the address, click it on the map, or open one of your saved properties in Property Pipeline.
- Open the Due Diligence tab and scroll to the Feasibility card under Resources.
- Click Create new feasibility on the Feasibility card.
- Under Select Template, pick the template to start from. Templates hold your preset values, so you can reuse the same numbers for a common strategy or area.
- Fill in Property Details. Stash fills in the land area for you. Enter the purchase price, or click Calculate median per sqm to estimate it from recent house sales nearby, then describe the proposed development: block quantity, area per block, building cost per block and retail price per block. Work through Finance Details, Net Realisation, Selling Costs and Development Costs, and watch the Feasibility Summary update as you go.
- Once you’re happy with the results, click SAVE FEASIBILITY and give it a name, such as the strategy or number of lots. It’s saved against the property, so you can open it again from the Feasibility card. Save a feasibility study.
- To keep your own figures for next time, change the values in the form, then click the … button next to the template list (it looked like this in 2022:
) and choose SAVE PRESET. You can name each template after the strategy or project you’re working on, and rename or delete your own templates from the same menu.
Disclaimer: Default values provided by Stash need to be changed to match your cost estimates in your area.
Calculate feasibility quickly for each property you select on the map. Leave the Feasibility page open and click another property, and Stash loads the same calculator for the new site, so you can compare sites without starting again. You may set different templates for different areas you are investigating.
To model a mix of lot or dwelling sizes, click Add design under Proposed development. You can also run a feasibility for amalgamated blocks, use comparable sales for the retail price, export it to Excel or add it to a Property Report.
A feasibility in Stash is an estimate for research, not financial advice. Confirm costs, contributions and planning rules with council, your builder and your advisers before you commit to a site.
