1.Evaluating Construction Inflation and Borrowing Costs
Dashboard · 2026
This dashboard was generated for a team evaluating a $4.5M to $5M campground and RV park project. The principals needed to decide whether to front-load construction financing or phase the build. The view displays a Construction Input Index at 168.3 alongside a 30-Year Mortgage Proxy at 6.49%. Text panels synthesize the trade-offs, noting that every 5 points of contingency adds up to $250K to infrastructure costs. A dual-line chart tracks the input index against private spending, helping the team visualize the inflation risk of delaying phases versus the high borrowing costs.
