Days Delayed per £1M of Drawdown quantifies the efficiency of fund utilisation in UK property development finance projects. It calculates the average number of days a project is delayed for each £1M drawn from a development finance facility. This metric allows developers and lenders to identify funding inefficiencies, monitor cash flow timing, and optimise drawdown schedules. By assessing delays relative to capital usage, property developers can refine construction phasing, improve budget management, and mitigate the risk of cost overruns while maintaining control of the overall project timeline and financial performance.
This sits beneath Drawdown & Repayment Profiles, introducing a more specific variant of the measure without changing its core interpretation. It is commonly considered alongside Back-Weighted Drawdown Risk Ratio, as both are closely related measures used to assess similar aspects of performance or risk.
