The verdict in three sentences
Custom real estate development software in Toronto costs 70,000 to 160,000 EUR depending on module count and accounting integration. The return comes less from time savings than from reliable unit inventory and real-time investor reporting. The line not to overlook: maintenance and post-delivery evolutions, at 12-18% of the build per year.
What each module costs in 2026
A developer runs a long cycle: structuring, sales, reservations, closings, delivery, after-sales. Here are 2026 ranges per module.
| Module | Scope | Estimate (EUR) |
|---|---|---|
| Projects & structuring | Project sheets, budgets, milestones | 12,000-28,000 |
| Unit inventory | Grid, statuses, options, reservations | 15,000-32,000 |
| Reservations & closings | Contracts, staged calls, notaries | 14,000-30,000 |
| Post-delivery service | Snags, tickets, warranties | 10,000-24,000 |
| Investor reporting | Dashboards, exports | 9,000-22,000 |
| Buyer portal | Build tracking, documents, payment | 10,000-24,000 |
A full scope lands between 70,000 and 160,000 EUR over 5 to 9 months, depending on customization and integration count.
Accounting integration and reporting: the real differentiator
A developer loses time and reliability when unit inventory lives in one spreadsheet and accounting in another tool. Integration changes the equation.
| Scenario | Without integration | With integrated software |
|---|---|---|
| Unit inventory update | manual, 2-3 day lag | real time |
| Staged-payment reconciliation | spreadsheet, frequent errors | automated |
| Investor reporting | 2-4 days/month prep | continuously generated |
| Double-booking risk | high | blocked by system |
| Monthly close time | 8-12 days | 3-5 days |
| Project cash visibility | partial | consolidated |
Accounting integration (journal export, staged calls, margin VAT) represents 8,000-20,000 EUR in the build, but removes the re-keying that costs the most in reliability.

Mini case study
Mathilde runs a Toronto real estate developer: 6 active projects, 320 units, 14 staff. Today, consolidating inventory and investor reporting takes her finance director 6 days/month, i.e. ~72 days/year valued at 500 EUR/day = 36,000 EUR/year. Integrated software at 120,000 EUR + 20,000 EUR/year maintenance automates these tasks and cuts close time by three. Recurring annual saving: ~28,000 EUR of time plus fewer reservation errors. The build pays back in about 3.5 years, with an owned asset at the end.
FAQ
How long to deliver the software? Plan 5 to 9 months depending on scope. The inventory and reservations module is often delivered first, by month 3-4, to secure sales.
Can it connect to our existing accounting? Yes, via journal export or API. Budget 8,000-20,000 EUR for a robust integration including staged calls and margin VAT.
Is the buyer portal essential? No, but it sharply reduces support calls during construction and boosts your image. It adds 10,000-24,000 EUR to the build.
How is maintenance billed? Typically 12-18% of build cost per year, covering fixes, regulatory changes and small functional improvements.
What happens after project delivery? The post-delivery module centralizes snags and warranties; it is often the feature with the best long-term payback.
