At CCA, we are focused on helping real estate developers maximize IRR.
The BAFFS Model
-
Built-up Area Efficiency: Reduce non FSI areas by 3–10%
-
Approval Costs: Reduce financial burdens through expert compliance planning.
-
FSI Optimization: Reduce leakage and losses for maximum FSI utilization.
-
Feasibility Studies: AI-driven analysis of design to reduce construction area and regulatory policy combinations to yield the best IRR.
-
Saleable Area: Increase saleable area by 3–15% depending on project stage.
Please Note :
"We do not change your design
we refine it
We focus strictly on optimizing FSI without compromising your architectural vision."

The Feasibility Question
Is Your Project Truly Feasible?
The Critical Questions:
-
Does your IRR meet the expected benchmark?
-
Are you generating maximum revenue per sq. ft. of FSI?
At CasaCielo, we move beyond typical advisory. We fuse deep industry expertise with Machine Learning and Generative AI to uncover hidden savings.
We don't just review plans; we optimize your budget, timeline, and operational efficiency to maximize profitability.
Increase Saleable area
-
Every 1% improvement in planning efficiency can translate into significant additional saleable area and higher profitability.
-
Floor Area Efficiency (carpet-to-built-up): we target 75–85%+ carpet-to-built-up ratio directly increases saleable area.
-
Passage & Circulation: Optimizing common areas to maximize saleable area.
-
Ducts & Service Shafts: Eliminating poorly planned ducts that create unusable pockets and reduce FSI efficiency.
-
Parking Area Optimization: Optimized column grids, compact ramp design, and mechanized parking where feasible to reduce cost.
-
Building Core Efficiency: right sizing Lifts, staircases, and lobbies, to improve floor plate and reduce repetitive non-saleable area on every floor.
-
Reduce Non-FSI Construction: Saved construction area to improve ROI.

Regulatory cost & FSI Optimization
-
UDCPR Policy Analysis: Advising on policies to reduce approval fees and premiums in low ASR markets.
-
Cashflow Optimization: Identifying routes for faster approvals and lower deposits to improve project velocity.
-
Hidden Incentives: Unlocking "free" or low-cost FSI through out-of-the-box interpretation of relaxation clauses.
-
Height of the building: In certain projects we advise developers to lower the height of building which improves and ensures maximum saleable output per unit FSI.
-
Gross plot area Vs Net plot area: Smart planning preserves maximum net plot area for FSI deployment.
-
FSI used for amenities: Amenities: Locate amenities where they enhance project value while minimizing FSI loss.
Reduce Construction cost
-
Façade Cost Optimization: We use AI driven simulations (wind and sun) to suggest lighter, safer, and cheaper materials.
-
Car Parking Efficiency: Car parking is the most expensive part in a project. we analyze mechanical vs. conventional options to meet RERA requirements cost-effectively.
-
Elevator efficiency: We Balance "wait time" specifications to prevent over-expenditure while ensuring user satisfaction.
-
Design Review: Reconfiguring architectural elements (e.g., staircases) to save non-saleable square footage while meeting fire norms. A staircase may be designed to take up 200 sq. ft. per floor. By reconfiguring we might reduce it to 180-190 sq. ft. across 20 floors. That saves approx. 300-400 sq. ft. of saleable area.
-
Technology Selection: Determining the best formwork (Mivan, Precast, etc.) based on cash flow and building height (Standalone vs. 150m+High-rise). We optimize and arrive at the type of construction technology and formwork selection for different types of projects based on cash flow, cost and revenue recognition.
-
Strategic Filtering: Identifying "hidden" decisions that appear small but cause budget overruns. We help you choose what impacts your construction cost and timeline.
-
Affordable housing: We advise developers on the methods to construct affordable buildings in 850-900 Rs/sft.

Feasibility study
Building Height & Parking strategy :
The Sweet Spot
-
We help you balance conflicting variables to find the
most profitable configuration for your project.
-
Maximizing IRR in DM/JV We identify policies that allow for early FSI consumption or phased development, ensuring you arrive at the best possible IRR for Development Management (DM) or Joint Venture (JV) projects.
-
Feasibility Ratio: We calculate the exact ratio required to make a JV project viable.
-
Height Optimization: Given the Sale Price and All-Inclusive Construction Cost, what is the ideal building height? Since costs rise exponentially beyond a certain floor count, we analyze the Optimum Height vs. ASR to maximize your returns.
-
Parking & Basement Strategy Basements are cost-heavy. We analyze the Cost Per Car Slot to see if a second or third basement can be replaced by Podium, Puzzle, or Robotic parking. We evaluate these options based on cost savings vs. market acceptance in your specific location.
-
Site-Specific Factors: Strategizing the surrender or adjustment of land reservations to unlock additional FSI or TDR.
-
Topography: Analyzing how flat vs. sloping terrain impacts your bottom-line construction costs.
