Understand the Costs and Profit of Your Seattle Infill Projects.
Seattle infill is its own business: townhomes, single-family spec, SFR with an ADU or DADU, cottage housing, small-lot sites and missing-middle projects — each with its own cost structure, sitework exposure, review timeline and buyer.
Bivvit reviews your recent completed Seattle projects and explains the economics behind them: cost and cost per square foot, sitework, financing and carry, builder equity, sales timing and project profit. Your own project history is the comparison we start with.

Small infill projects carry variables that never sit still
- Multiple concurrent projects
Three or four sites at different stages means your company's performance is never visible in any single project report.
- Different product types
Townhomes, SFR, cottage housing and detached accessory units each carry their own cost structure and buyer.
- Land basis
What you paid for the lot sets the ceiling on the deal. It belongs in the profit picture and outside your construction cost metrics.
- Construction costs
Hard cost by category, tracked consistently, is the only way to see whether a category is structurally high.
- Financing costs
Interest and fees accumulate with time. Different lenders on different projects make consistent measurement harder — and more valuable.
- Sales timing
When units close determines when capital comes back and what the carry actually cost you.
- Capital recycling
How fast cash returns from one project decides whether you can take the next lot.
- Neighborhood differences
Site conditions, review timelines and buyer depth vary across the city and show up in both cost and price.
- Project duration
Duration is a cost. It shows up in carry, in market risk and in opportunity cost.
- Profitability
Profit per project, profit per dollar invested, and profit per month of capital tied up are three different questions.
See the Pattern Across Your Seattle Projects.
Send Bivvit your recent completed infill projects. We'll review cost, timing, financing, sales, cash and profit the same way across each job so recurring patterns are easier to see.
Your own project history is the comparison we start with.
Bivvit is not field management software. It does not schedule subcontractors, hold daily logs, route RFIs or manage plan sets. It reviews the numbers a finished project produced and explains what they mean.

Sitework and hard cost detail
Hard cost by category on each completed project, so a category that ran high is visible instead of buried in the total.
Financing, carry and builder equity
What the debt cost, how long your own cash was in the deal, and what sales timing did to both.
Your own results as the reference
Each completed project you send adds to your own history — the comparison set that matters most.
What a budget-versus-actual read looks like
The figures below are hypothetical and illustrative only. They are not a Seattle average, a quoted price or a result from a real project. Site conditions, scope and timing decide what any individual project costs.
- Sitework and demolition
- Budget $96,000
- Actual $131,000
- Utility connections
- Budget $42,000
- Actual $58,500
- Framing
- Budget $305,000
- Actual $298,000
- Interest and carry
- Budget $88,000
- Actual $121,000
Two site-related categories ran over and the build stayed financed longer than planned. Framing came in slightly under, which is easy to miss when only the total is reviewed.
