New-build projects: multiple properties under one umbrella

A developer delivers 34 properties in one project: 24 apartments, 6 penthouses, 4 villas. Instead of 34 separate listings, you create one Project, link the developer as a Relation, and group the properties per typology (variant).

Project overview — The overview of your new-build projects.

When do you use this?

A developer delivers a complete phase 1 (15 properties), you register the project
You have typologies you want to duplicate quickly (see Variants)
You want project files (general brochure, master plan) in one place
You receive new-build projects via a RedSP feed and want Tesoro to create the projects itself (see Projects from a RedSP feed)

Creating a new project

Open Projects in the sidebar and click Add project.

Tesoro creates the project immediately, with a temporary name such as Project #K3F9A. The edit screen then opens.
Give the project its real name in Name. The name is the only required field: 3 to 100 characters, unique within your company.

Fill in the other blocks. Everything is optional. Fill in what you know.

Block	Fields
Essential Info	Name, Type (multi-select), Availability (Open for Sale, Under Development or Sold Out), Email, Phone, Total Properties, Commission
Links & resources	Website URL, Dropbox URL, Price List URLs (press Enter after each link)
Website	Show on website and Featured project (see A project on your website)
Development details	Delivery from, Delivery date and Key ready (yes/no)
Amenities	Amenities of the complex, such as Communal pool, Gym, Lift, Garden or Gated complex. Plus Distance to beach and Distance to golf in metres
Description	Per language a title and a description (choose the language at the top right)
Add Image	Photos of the project
Location	Address, region and country. Tesoro looks up the coordinates for the map
Developer	Link the developer: an existing relation

Save.

The project page

At the top of the project page is a row with the most important characteristics:

the globe icon: is the project on your website? (see below)
the availability, for example Under Development (green) or Sold out (red)
the label Featured project, if you highlight the project
the number of properties, the number of variants, the commission and the tags

Below that you find four tabs.

The overview at a glance:

Photos of the project.
Essential Information: name, From price (the lowest asking price of the properties in the project), total number of properties, number of variants, availability, type, commission, delivery dates, Key ready and the project website.
Description: the description of the project.
Developer: the linked developer with name, type, email and phone. With the phone button you call directly. If no developer is linked, you see No developer attached.
Notes: your internal notes. You write and save them here directly.
Availability by status: a coloured bar showing how many properties of the project have each status (for example Active, Reserved, Sold). Point at a colour and you see the number and the percentage.

Use the arrows at the top to go to the previous or next project.

A project on your website

A project can get its own page on your website. You turn this on or off in three ways:

in the edit screen with the Show on website toggle
on the project page with the globe icon (green = published)
for several projects at once: tick them in the project overview, click Mass Edit, choose Website under Select field and then Publish on website or Remove from website

Featured project highlights a project. You then see a star with Featured project on the project page.

Typologies (variants)

A typology is a construction type within the project:

“2-bedroom Apartment”
“Penthouse”
“Townhouse Type A”

Each typology has its own name, colour code, property list and files. On the Variants tab you see the linked properties per typology.

Projects from a RedSP feed

Do you receive new-build projects via a RedSP feed (Real Estate Development - Spain (RedSP-V4))? Then turn on Import Project in the feed settings (see XML import). Tesoro then does the following with every import:

It creates one project per development from the feed, and one variant per property type.
It links every imported property to the correct project and the correct variant.
It links the relation you chose for the feed as developer.
On a following import it updates the projects. No duplicate projects are added.

First check the automatic data

The feed does not supply everything. Tesoro derives the name from the street and takes the description from one of the property types. Such a project therefore gets the status Needs review.

In the project overview you see a notification for half a minute after opening, for example “3 imported projects are awaiting review”. Click Show only these to see only those projects. With Show all projects you see everything again. You can also filter by Review status (Needs review or Reviewed).
On the project page there is a collapsible bar Feed checklist. It states exactly what is still missing: the real name, a description of your own, the total number of properties, the developer or the project website.
In the edit screen those fields are marked in orange, with Imported — please review. or Still needed for the feed.

Your changes are kept

If you adjust a field of an imported project by hand, Tesoro locks that field. The next import no longer overwrites it. That way you can calmly improve the name, description, delivery dates or amenities. The project then gets the status Reviewed.

Sold out and available again

If the developer removes a property type from the feed because nothing is for sale any more, Tesoro keeps track of that. If no type of the project still has a property in the feed, Tesoro sets the project to Sold out. If properties appear in the feed again, the project gets its previous availability back. Nothing is deleted.

The developer’s advertising rules

A RedSP feed can supply rules per property about where you may advertise. Tesoro shows them at the top of the property page, in an orange bar: “The developer’s feed sets advertising restrictions for this listing:”. Possible rules:

A contract with the developer is required before advertising.
Not allowed on your own website.
Not allowed on national Spanish portals.
Not allowed on international portals.
Not allowed on social media.
International clients only (non-residents of Spain).

If the developer forbids publication on your own website, Tesoro turns off Show on website for that property with every import.

Editing a project

Open the project page.
Click Edit at the top.
Modify the fields. All fields from creation are available.
Save.

Deleting a project

First unlink or remove all properties and typologies.
Open the project and choose Delete.

Frequently asked questions

Can a property belong to multiple projects at the same time?

No. A property belongs to one project and one typology.

What happens to properties when I delete a typology?

Tesoro blocks that. First unlink the properties, then delete the typology.

Files for a typology?

Yes. Typologies have their own files, separate from the project files and the property attachments. See Variants.

I changed the name of an imported project. Will the old name come back?

No. A field you change by hand is locked. The feed no longer overwrites it.

Why is my project not on the website while Show on website is on?

There is not yet a single property of this project on the website. Put at least one property online.
