NEWBUILDS.COM / THE PLATFORM

From project evidence.
To work that gets done.

Newbuilds.com connects data and work from land search through warranty. Powered by Manta, it helps homebuilders and residential developers automate tasks, track project economics and control what gets done.

Simplified example: NOK 720.0m revenue minus NOK 628.4m costs gives NOK 91.6m projected profit. This is not a valuation or an evidenced saving.

DECISION AND OWNERSHIP

The CEO, CFO and authorised owner decide bids, terms and the acquisition agreement.

Demonstration. No bid, publication or external action is executed.
WHY IT MATTERS

Assess the land price and capital requirement before committing.

WHAT CARRIES FORWARD

Investment assumptions feed into planning and the project estimate.

The example shows a possible workflow. Tasks, access and rules are configured and tested for the engagement. Project stages assume the necessary decisions along the way.

THE MODULES

Choose the tools.
Connect the work.

Three modules cover residential development: Plot.ai for land, analysis and data; M360 for marketing and sales, including 3D; Journey for after-sales. Manta connects data and agreed workflows across them.

1.Land, analysis and dataLand, market insight, competing developments and evidence for product mix and pricing.Plot.ai

From land search to acquisition evidence

A shared view of land, the market and development assumptions. Explore the product illustration and Plot.ai’s scope.

Product scope, integrations and automation are agreed for the engagement.

Explore Plot.ai
2.Marketing and salesAutogenerated 3D, project content, campaigns and sales in one workflow.M360

From inventory to campaigns and forecasts

M360 brings marketing and sales together, including automatically generated 3D. From project information to visualizations, content, campaigns and sales follow-up, the work follows one sales plan. The sales lead controls approvals and publication rules.

Product scope, integrations and automation are agreed for the engagement.

3.After-salesChoices, documentation, handover and warranty follow the buyer and the home.Journey

From contract through warranty

Approved upgrades, order information and home records follow delivery. After-sales keeps the project history.

Product scope, integrations and automation are agreed for the engagement.

Explore Journey

One home. One connected history.

Land, development, home, agreement and document connect with source and version. A contract can update the forecast. A buyer choice can follow the order.

FROM SYSTEM TO DELIVERABLE

Sources have a purpose.
Here is what they produce.

The same project and home need to be recognised across systems. Then the information can support actual work.

AUTOMATION WITH CLEAR OWNERSHIP

Work moves forward.
The boundaries move with it.

Three situations in one workflow. Rules determine what can execute and when an owner takes over.

01 / Automatic within authority

Assemble sources and update tasks

Agreed tasks may execute once evidence, access and authority pass checks.

02 / To the owner for a decision

Approve publication or new commitments

A specific proposal shows the evidence and who must decide before action.

03 / Resolve missing evidence

Create the task that moves the case forward

If evidence is incomplete, show what is missing, who needs to resolve it and what is on hold.

FIVE LAYERS IN THE BRAIN

From source to outcome.
With a trace throughout.

Explore how evidence, the model, rules and action connect. The specific setup needs scoping and testing for your engagement.

01 / Data

Sources you can examine.

Agree APIs, events or controlled exports per system. Record source, timestamp and coverage. A file export is not real-time data.

  • Which source owns project and home status?
  • When is data too old to support action?
  • Which fields must never be shared?
02 / Model

A common language for the project.

Link projects, phases, homes, customers, agreements, costs, suppliers and cases. Separate documented facts from calculations and assumptions.

  • Example evidence: 120 homes in a preliminary project concept.
  • Connection: home A-204 links buyer choices to agreements, orders and delivery.
  • Uncertainty: concepts, cost estimates and sales assumptions are not approved outcomes.
03 / Rules

Domain knowledge with an owner.

Rule proposals need a source, a defined scope and an approver. Domain or legal interpretation needs appropriate expertise.

  • Source → proposal → specialist review.
  • Test → approval → active rule.
  • Versioning, change and revocation.
04 / Action

Access is a separate decision.

Check evidence, permissions, rule version and system status before action. The mandate covers specific actions, projects and roles.

  • Read access does not grant write access.
  • Missing evidence or exceeded limits pause the action.
  • Price changes, orders and customer contact are scoped separately.
05 / Outcome

Follow what actually happened.

Separate planned, attempted, waiting, completed and failed. An action is complete only when the destination system confirms it.

  • Record proposals, approvals, timestamps and system responses.
  • Measure business outcomes after activity.
  • Revoking a rule does not undo actions already completed.

THE ROLES OF THE TECHNOLOGY

What should the different tools do?

Reporting and analytics

Provides a view of numbers and trends.

Which deviations need closer examination?

AI assistant

Helps find, understand and draft information.

Which sources and tools can the assistant access?

Manta in your setup

Assembles project evidence, prepares deliverables and executes agreed tasks between systems.

Who can approve, what can be executed, and how is it followed up?

Roles may overlap. The capabilities of a specific product and Manta engagement depend on setup, data and integrations.
