Annual Budget Build

Workflow purpose

Produce a defensible annual operating budget for a property, with every dollar traced to a reference. Revenue derives from rent roll roll-forward + overlay market assumptions + renewal policy. Expense derives from assumption libraries and staffing ratios. The output is a budget package plus a narrative that can withstand asset-management and lender review.

Trigger conditions

  • Explicit: "build 2027 budget", "budget build for property X", "annual operating budget", "start budget cycle".
  • Implicit: calendar approach of budget season per org overlay; prior budget superseded.
  • Recurring: annual per property, on the org's budget calendar.
