Odoo for Property Developers: Units, Vendors, and Costs
· Updated · 2 min read
Developers lose the thread between a unit that was sold, the contractor bill on that project, and the demand the customer was sent. Those three should share a project.
The project holds the cost
Contractor bills and material purchases land on the project. A unit can be a product or an analytic line you already use to talk about inventory of flats. Agree that in discovery. Do not assume a property-management product you have not seen.
We will not invent booking workflows that your sales desk does not use. The first release records the sale and the cost you can already point at.
Demands follow the agreement you already have
If demands are milestones, invoice those milestones. If they are a custom schedule per buyer, write that rule down before anyone builds it. An unwritten schedule becomes a module you will pay to change.
Vendor approval above a limit belongs on the purchase. See purchase approvals.
One project as the pilot
A single live project is often a 2–4 month scope. Several companies and a buyer portal move toward 4–12 months. Cost follows that shape inside ₹2–15 lakhs for partner-led work in India, with licences often extra.
Bring one project’s contractor bills and one buyer schedule to a free audit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a ready-made property module we should buy first?+
Start from the project, the purchase, and the invoice. Add a specialised app only when those documents cannot hold a unit you already sell.
Can buyers see their demands online?+
That is a later release. The demands themselves should be correct in Odoo first.
How are taxes on the demand handled?+
Your CA confirms the treatment. We configure the invoice they specify.
