Debt is repaid using the cash flow generated by the operation of the project, rather than other resources of the project owners.

Project Finance Model is built for a proposal to construct a commercial space in the Middle East with a Gross Leasable Area of half a million sq.f. The financial model is built with a quarterly timeline considering construction for 2 years and the operations period for 8 years.

This model includes the Following scenarios:

1. For Revenue calculation, Gross Developed Area is assumed to be Leased or Sold. User can switch between the scenarios from Dashboard Sheet and correspondingly see its impact on the Financials and Key KPI's.

2. For Cost calculation, a maintenance contract for Gross Developed Area can be assumed to be given to a single contractor with a bucket rate or specialized service providers to control cost.

Note:

This model contains Macros to break circularity which arises from the calculation of Interest During Construction, Bank Fees during the construction phase, and Overdraft drawdown (during operations phase). The objective behind macro is to run the exact calculation for loan drawdown in a project finance model as these are critical calculations and are followed closely by banks and financial institutions during negotiations. The macro can be run using the Optimization button available on the Dashboard. The Macro is stored in Module 1 of the VBA Project under VBA Basic Editor.
