Formula Lexicon

Methodology and formulas behind every calculation in the TORA engine

Total project cost is assembled from typed assets (hotel, independent villas, UH villas, indoor and outdoor common spaces) and shared costs (land, fees, contingency, infrastructure).

Asset Cost = Units × Avg Size (m²) × Cost per m² (by Quality Level)
Construction Cost = Σ(Asset Costs) + Indoor Spaces + Outdoor Spaces
FF&E Cost = Construction Cost × FF&E Rate
Contingency = (Construction + FF&E) × Contingency Rate
Fees = Σ(Legal + Architect + Interior + BET + PM + Directors + Misc)
Total CAPEX = Land + Construction + FF&E + Contingency + Fees + Infrastructure + Pre-opening + Desalination + PV + Marketing
Quality LevelLuxury, Standard — determines €/m² rate
PhasePhase 1 (opening) or Phase 2 (expansion) — drives timing
Line ItemsEach asset has its own start month + duration for monthly distribution

This lexicon documents the methodology implemented in the TORA financial engine (packages/engine). All formulas are deterministic and reproduce the Excel Business Plan model. The full 17-year, 204-month model is computed in roughly 8ms.
