Every month brings the same scramble: pull the latest budget, reconcile actuals, check the schedule, write a narrative, and drop in photos. By the time it looks presentable, an hour is gone and you still question consistency across projects. Investors want a clear read on cost, timing, and risk. They do not want a data dump or a wall of text. This takes care of the assembly so you can focus on the few items that need judgment. Development ~10 min to run Draft Construction Progress Update Vic prompt Use Vic to draft a construction progress update for a development project using the latest budget, schedule, and status data. Purpose Keeps investors current on project status without requiring 90 minutes of analyst time to compile each update. Inputs Project Status Data Required Original Budget And Schedule Optional Photos Optional Output Format Optional Brand Skill Or Assets Optional Outputs A branded Word document that includes a status headline, budget and schedule comparisons, percent complete, draws funded, leasing progress, and a risks section with mitigation plans. Time saved Turns roughly 90 minutes of manual work into about 10 minutes. How it works Give Vic your current project status data. Add the original budget and schedule if you have them, plus photos and any branding assets you want applied. Then run: "Use Vic to draft a construction progress update for a development project using the latest budget, schedule, and status data." Vic produces a branded Word document for investor distribution. It starts with a clear status headline, then moves through the key comparisons: budget versus actuals with cost to complete, and schedule versus plan with percent complete. It covers capital draws, leasing or pre sales progress where relevant, and a risks and change orders section that spells out impact and response steps. If you include photos, they are placed in the report. The output follows common institutional expectations for format and structure. The numbers read like CRE numbers, not spreadsheet exports. The narrative is direct and tied to your data, so the document can go out with minimal editing. This replaces the manual stitching. No more copying tables between files, reformatting headings, or rewriting the same explanation of a schedule slip. You still decide what matters, but you are not spending time on layout and first drafts. It also keeps things consistent across deals. If you manage multiple projects, investors see the same structure each month, which makes changes easier to spot and cuts down on back and forth. Inputs are flexible. At a minimum, provide project status data. If you include the original budget and schedule, the comparisons are tighter. Photos are optional. Branding assets let the document match your firm’s look without another pass in Word. Expect a finished document in about ten minutes. Most teams spend around 90 minutes to compile the same content by hand. Use the time you get back to review variances and decide what to flag, not to build the report.
