EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The internship report is concentrated in the real estate sector of Bangladesh. I have tried to
analyze the industry as well as the company BORAK REAL ESTATE (PVT) LTD. I have
selected ten renowned real estate companies through some criteria. I have surveyed these
companies for our research purpose. The real estate business concept was developed in
Bangladesh in the sixties’ decades. Ispahani andEHL are the pioneers of this business. This
business was flourished in the first eighties’ decades. Now a days there are more than 126 real
estate companies are in this sector and this number is growing day by day because of the profit
margin of this sector. By showing plans and locations they sell apartments. For this reason this
product is called “unseen” product. Companies have to borrow a negligible amount of taka from
the banks. The growth rate of industry is about 15%. Profit margin is about 15% – 25% on an
average. It attracts the new business firms to this sector. The industry is in the transition to
maturity stage of its life cycle. Again some companies’ growth rates are higher than others. This
rising sector may be collapsed for some dishonest entrepreneurs. In this research report I have
discussed the overall situations on management style, land procurement, design and
engineering, marketing, legal and logistics of the industry and the company BRE (PVT) LTD. with
SWOT analysis. Since entry and exit are free in this sector so day by day market is being
competitive. Bargaining powers of the clients are increased in this competitive market. In this
situation some companies are kicked out of the market for their poor management. These weak
companies’ market shares are acquired by leading companies.
BRE (PVT) LTD. is one of the leading companies in the industry though it was established in 11
may 1987. They own 10% shares of the segmented market areas partially one and two. The
current growth rate of the company is about 40%.The experienced top management is conscious
about the changing market behavior. They are flexible in their management style that is they are
situational. The top demand. They recruit young personnel’s for their mid –level management to
get maximum benefit from those fresh persons. The strong marketing, land procurement and
design department help the organization to achieve its objective. But the logistics department is
not structured which incurred high production cost. They do not identify the logistics activities
clearly for getting better benefit by using the modern approach of logistics. To hold the market
leadership they have to improve this department. The company has 50 projects within which 5
projects are completed and 21 projects are under construction. Most of the apartments are at
Gulshan. Few of Baridhara, Dhanmondi and Banani. In Gulshan they have established
themselves quite well and have general confidence about the market. All decisions are taken by
the Chairman and Managing Director of the company. Now they are trying to delegate the
authority to the mid-level management to take prompt decision for the company. BRE (PVT) LTD.
is committed to excellence and believes that achievements exist forever.
INTRODUCTION
MEANING OF REAL ESTATE
In our day-to-day life, real estate is being used in various manner; we make use of real estate
resources to provide shelter, comfort, convenience, and privacy, a place of work, recreational
facilities and related service. In an estimate real estate represents more than 40% of national
wealth. Therefore, the manner welfare of our people the success or failure of business firms and
the general prosperity of the country.
The name given to the commodity reality which includes not only land but also all human
improvements placed on the land. The name given to the business engaged in by those people
who conduct commercial transactions in real estate.
The main component of real estate as a commodity is land. It states not only the surface of the
earth but also the property rights and interests that attach to owner ship of reality, including
subsurface minerals. Thus the real estate means acquisition of land and building which is called
inherent right. The people who are the owner, user, maker, financier or marketer of the property
have some rights to the property.
BACKGROUND
Multistory living is a relatively new phenomenon in Bangladesh in late 70s apartment project was
started in Dhaka city in early 80s the business started flourishing. Until recently multistoried are
built for office and commercial purpose only. But today there is a boom in building high rise
buildings as living quarters, known as apartment or condominiums. This process started after the
developers had taken up the business of constructing high rise buildings and selling the
apartments. Is it a welcome phenomenon or an approach to the forward upon?
There are ample reasons why people have taken to liking multistory living. Extreme sortie of open
space in the important area of Dhaka city, hazards of purchasing land and construction building
and increasing in population have encouraged people to like multistory living. The populate is
increasing leaps and bounds and land is scarce. Sprawling growth with single unit housesin
subdivisions is not very feasible because service like access of roads, electricity, water, gas, etc.
do not reach peripheral regions very easily. All the concentrations have to take place in the
central part of the city. Peripheral land is usually bought by speculators. Some services gradually
creep into peripheral regions for their demands. The process has usually taken about a decade.
Travel from periphery to the central part of the city has become so difficult because of traffic
chaos & jam, which takes hours. So important person of business wants to live as close to the
center as possible. A renowned economist once mentioned that in Dhaka with
sufficient money most of the services need of an individual can be met. Faulty water supply can
be overcome by sucking water from the supply line by a pump or sinking a tube-well if necessary.
In case, school is not available for one is child’s one can start one good. For medical services
one can take a trip abroad for consultation or treatment. All these can be done with sufficient
money but one cannot avoid the traffic jam & fly to the office every day. Accessibility is the most
serious problem that cannot be solved individually. Hence proximity to the place of work is a
priority. Increase in land value encourages raising buildings. The higher the value of land the
higher the buildings tend to rise.
In Dhaka land value is increasing day by day. The fact is that if the cost of one square foot of land
is more than one square foot of built area, developers will go for high rise buildings. Cost of
construction per square feet at present is among 700 to 1200 taka. Whenever the cost of land per
katha that is 721 sft is more than taka five lacs, there is sufficient incentive for building high rise.
Apartments building and selling being a relative very new type of business, e.g. real estate
business. It has started in the last seventies. Little is known about its different aspects as yet. But
from observation evident investment in this type of business is quite big. As well as the prices of
apartments are also high. The buyers of apartments are well off and have acquired the
temperament of community living. They want to buy apartments for security and consider it a
symbol of status.
All these issues create genuine interest to get ideas about this type of real estate business sector
and with that end in view the present study report was undertaken. This study aims at
understanding the overall aspects, specially marketing & logistics aspects of the industry as well
as the company BRE (PVT) LTD.

The report is mainly based on the marketing aspect of the real estate sector and special
concentration on the company BORAK REAL ESTATE (PVT) LTD. So I have chosen the title
“Marketing Aspects of the Real Estate Business and Prospects of BORAK REAL ESTATE (PVT)
LTD.” In this report I have also described logistics support and legal side of this business but not
in depth. For this I have avoided to mention it in the title name.
METHODOLOGY
For my study purpose I collected information from both primary and secondary sources.
Primary sources:
For collecting the primary data firstly, I personally discussed with different officials of different
developers on the basis of the Questionnaire (Annexure 1).
Secondly, data were collected from executives, managers etc.of BRE (PVT) LTD.
Thirdly, a participative discussion was conducted with Mr. Anower Shamim, MD. of BRE (PVT)
LTD. from which I have collected information about the company and the industry.
Secondary sources:
• Reports
• Articles
• Bulletin etc
• REHAB
By surveying the developers I came to know about this sector. Their position in the industry their
target groups, existing problems and prospect of this sector. I also surveyed some ongoing
projects of the developers to know about the construction side. I have visited REHAB ( Real
Estate Housing Association of Bangladesh ) to know about the current situation of this sector.
The Research Approach The study approach is to collect the qualitative data and the following
three approaches were used:
1. Discussion
2. Personal Interview and
3. The observation method

discussions with each developer.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The total industry of the real estate is the scope of the study. There are more than 126
developers in the city. Few of them are working in other divisions specially in Chittagong, i.e. The
study is concentrated in the Dhaka city only due to the time limitation. But I did not able to
consider all the developers in the Dhaka, I only considered those developers who are working in
the Dhaka city as well as creating luxury apartments in this city. Moreover in the internship
program I have to do a lot of works for my study purpose.
LIMITATIONS
During the internship program I have faced a lot of problems to complete the study. In the short
time it is not possible for me to know everything about the total sector. Even then I have tried to
know the important side of this sector as well as marketing and logistics that are taken here for
the study purpose.
Problems I have faced for the study purpose:
• I did not get up to date information about the sector.
• Maximum developers did not provide me all information that is needed for my study purpose.
• Wrong information is provided by the developers.
• I have to go several times to the developers for getting information which consumes my
valuable times.
• Due to the non- cooperation of the management of Shamota Real Estate and Shine Pukur
Holding Ltd. I did not get the information about these developers.

CHAPTER TWO
FINDINGS AND OBSERVATIONS
MARKET SEGMENTATION
Marketing department observe and analyze the different factors and or the basis of this
information the market is segmented. The market analyzed on the basis of external threats and
opportunities as well as the internal strengths and weakness and depending upon this the market
is segmented. The market segmentation is categorized by;
a) Apartment Business
b) Commercial Building
Apartment Business
In apartment sector there is no specific target marketers. Those who are able to buy the
apartment are the target marketers. On the other hand, the target marketers of any project
depend on the location of the site. For example: Gulshan project must have the target marketers
of high income people. If the projects location is Elephant Road, which is not so much important
place, then the target marketers can be any body.
Commercial Building
Like apartment sector, also in commercial sector the site or location of the project is an important
factor. Generally, commercial buildings are building in the commercial areas, such as, Motijheel,
Tejgaon etc. So that the project can be sold quickly. The target marketers for commercial sector
are generally the higher income groups & famous companies such as Uttara Motors, Nitol Motors
etc.
TARGET MARKET
The target clients can be segmented into broad categories:
A) Individual Prospective Apartment Buyer
B) Apartment Developer
A) Individual Prospective Apartment Buyer
Theoretically, anyone who is in the market of acquisition of an apartment is a potential client. VBL
would target to provide finance to that particular segment or group who are reluctant to go to
public sector financing, or want to reduce their income tax burden or those who want to invest
their own resources for other profitable purpose. The clients are likely to be Businessmen,
Bangladeshi wage earners working abroad, High officials of
Government and autonomous bodies as well as Executives / Officers working on different
international / multinational corporations.
B) Apartment Developer
Targeting growing, developers who have proper record of accomplishment are the other group of
potential initial clients. Financing these developers will have the added ad of cutting u. it the term
of lending.

PROFIT ANALYSIS
In the era of globalization, changing mindsets have recognized real estate as an important tool
for economic growth and investment. The importance of the real estate recognized as a
significant growth instrument. The greater volume of investment and development of real estate
will drive economic development and stimulate capital formation in an increasingly competitive
environment.
Planning for fund collections: Since it’s a real estate business, we need a huge amount of money
to invest in the Company, as we look for the long- term investment and maximize the wealth of
the company. In addition, administration and finance sector combined decided that we have a
need for Tk. 20 core or above. Only Tk. 1 core have available in our hand, assume that it will
provide by the private investment from companies shareholders. Therefore, the rest of the
investment would come from the external source and administration of the company give ensures
that they are able to create the fund from the following sources:
1. Long-term Sources
Customers’ Investment: 30% of the project. Marketing sector give us ensure that they are able to
attract the attention of the buyer of the project and can sell all the apartment with the 30% of the
customer’s investment.
Project ‘A’ will bear the cost approx. Tk. 8 core and will sell for Tk. 9 core. So, 30% of Tk. 9 core
is Tk. 2 core 70 lac which is 33.75% of the total cost.
Bank Loan: Tk. 3 core with a interest rate of 10% for the 10 years, which is 37.5% of the total
cost.
2. Intermediate–term Sources
Lease Financing Tk. 50 lacs for 5 years with a interest rate of 7% of the total investment. This will
be to buy the companies equipment.
3. Short-term Sources
Short-term loan Tk. 80 lacs that is 10% of the total cost of project ‘A’. This amount will collect
from the people of the company as a private loan with an interest rate of 6% according to the
company Act of Bangladesh, 1994.
Retain Earnings
Retain earnings is the portion of companies profit which is not allocated to the shareholders of
the company. These earnings will be termed as one of the sources of fund. As the company
starts from new, retained earnings is not available since now. However, after the project ‘A’, we
hope that some retain earnings will earn. This amount will investor further investment in the
company. However, this is depends on the dividend policy of the company.
It is noted that we estimate only for the project ‘A’. However, after a period we add with the
project ‘B’ and then we need the amount of Tk. 10 core. We will collect the fund according to the
way of project ‘A’. Rest of the Tk. 10 core will acquire from the earnings of project ‘A’.
As the company starts from now, dividend will be paid after 2nd year, when project ‘A’ and project
‘B’ will finished. Payment policy such that we can reinvest the majority part of retains earnings.

acquisition, use on consumption and that might satisfy a want and need. Products include more

PRICE
In the narrowest sense price is the amount of money change for a product or service. More
broadly, price is the sum of all the benefits of having using the product or service. Historically
price has been the major factor affecting buyer’s choice.Panera’s CEO says the challenge is to
harvest the customer value the company creates.
Dynamic pricing – charging different prices developing an individual customer and situation.
Borak Real Estate (Pvt) Ltd. sale flat. After finish designing from a repotted architecture, they
select price strategy. This price strategy based on some decision. Such as – cost of land develop,
cost of raw material, payment of land owner etc. after this they set up a price. This price strategy
is two types. One is at a time and another is by installment. If client want at a time payment, he
get 10% discount from fixed price. On the other hand, if any one want by installment, he has to
paid 30% with in 30 days. Some analyze the demand of the apartments for fixing up the price. In
the real estate sector markup pricing is used for selling apartments. In this way the developers
add a markup such as 20% – 30% on their construction cost and then they offer it to the clients.
In the study some companies are found to take demand into account in fixing price. A little
percentage of the industry’s pricing policy and some of the companies follow a pricing method
according to convenience.It has been observed that prices of apartments of similar locality vary
due to the quality of construction. In the same way similar size apartments vary due to the
locations. The following table shows the current price of apartments of various sizes located in
different locations.

PROMOTION
The study reveals that the apartment building companies undertook promotional efforts as a part
of their marketing programs.
Promotion is defined as the co-ordination of all seller initiated efforts to set up channels of
information and persuasion in order to sell goods and service or promote an idea. While implicate
communication occurs through the various elements of the marketing mix, most of an
organization’s communications with the market place take place as part of a carefully planned
controlled promotional program. The basic tools used to accomplish an organization’s
communication objective are often referred to as the promotional.

public sector financing, or want to reduce their income tax burden or those who want to invest

Bangladeshi wage earners working abroad, High officials of
Government and autonomous bodies as well as Executives / Officers working on different

PROFIT ANALYSIS
In the era of globalization, changing mindsets have recognized real estate as an important tool
for economic growth and investment. The importance of the real estate recognized as a
significant growth instrument. The greater volume of investment and development of real estate
will drive economic development and stimulate capital formation in an increasingly competitive
environment.
Planning for fund collections: Since it’s a real estate business, we need a huge amount of money
to invest in the Company, as we look for the long- term investment and maximize the wealth of
the company. In addition, administration and finance sector combined decided that we have a
need for Tk. 20 core or above. Only Tk. 1 core have available in our hand, assume that it will
provide by the private investment from companies shareholders. Therefore, the rest of the
investment would come from the external source and administration of the company give ensures
that they are able to create the fund from the following sources:
1. Long-term Sources
Customers’ Investment: 30% of the project. Marketing sector give us ensure that they are able to
attract the attention of the buyer of the project and can sell all the apartment with the 30% of the
customer’s investment.
Project ‘A’ will bear the cost approx. Tk. 8 core and will sell for Tk. 9 core. So, 30% of Tk. 9 core
is Tk. 2 core 70 lac which is 33.75% of the total cost.
Bank Loan: Tk. 3 core with a interest rate of 10% for the 10 years, which is 37.5% of the total
cost.
2. Intermediate–term Sources
Lease Financing Tk. 50 lacs for 5 years with a interest rate of 7% of the total investment. This will
be to buy the companies equipment.
3. Short-term Sources
Short-term loan Tk. 80 lacs that is 10% of the total cost of project ‘A’. This amount will collect
from the people of the company as a private loan with an interest rate of 6% according to the
company Act of Bangladesh, 1994.
Retained Earnings
Retain earnings is the portion of companies profit which is not allocated to the shareholders of
the company. These earnings will be termed as one of the sources of fund. As the company
starts from new, retained earnings is not available since now. However, after the project ‘A’, we
hope that some retain earnings will earn. This amount will investor further investment in the
company. However, this is depends on the dividend policy of the company.
It is noted that we estimate only for the project ‘A’. However, after a period we add with the
project ‘B’ and then we need the amount of Tk. 10 core. We will collect the fund according to the
way of project ‘A’. Rest of the Tk. 10 core will acquire from the earnings of project ‘A’.
As the company starts from now, dividend will be paid after 2nd year, when project ‘A’ and project
‘B’ will finished. Payment policy such that we can reinvest the majority part of retains earnings.
CONCLUSION
Borak Real Estate (Pvt) Ltd. has adopted the modern business concept. But even now they do
not get rid of from the traditional or conventional style. Moreover, the per unit cost of the products
of the company is higher than the major rivals. So, the company has to take initiative to maintain
the better quality at the lower unit cost from this moment. If they fail to achieve the target, the
opportunity will be closed but threats come as a cyclone. If they want to continue the current
sales growth and earn the same or increase the net profit margin they have to have concentrated
on their major default point.
In my three months internship program I have tried my best to observe the company BRE (PVT)
LTD. deeply. They have a good management team as well as marketing team also. I observed
that the top management is skilled enough to run the business smoothly. But delegation of
authority which is needed for getting better output from the employees.
For land procurement the company has no own agents to find out lands, they create apartments
under joint venture with the land owners. To procure lands they offer both apartment and cash to
the land owner.Unlikely the design department is not sufficient for the company. In the design
and engineering section, the company has structural engineer, civil engineers and architects for
creating apartments. But the company has no other engineers such as electrical engineer. They
do it from outside consultants.
The company is creating only one product, apartments of several sizes. The mainly create
apartments in the posh areas in the Dhaka city. We came to know that in near future they will
create commercial building and apartments in several areas. The company has the opportunity to
create apartments in the other metropolitan cities in Bangladesh.
Marketing department of this company is very strong than other departments. The personnel of
this department are experienced enough to sell apartments. The marketing strategies of this
company are strong to exist in the real estate market as a leader. The pricing policy of BRE
(PVT) LTD. is very attractive to the customers as a result their maximum apartments are sold out
before construction.
Legal side of this company is structured to face any kind of problems. But the logistics
department is unstructured. For this reason, the company has to bear a extra cost. The raw
materials procurement system is not structured, they have no substitute suppliers as a result they
face problems for constructing apartments.
Overall position of this company in the real estate market is good enough in this short period of
establishment. In this short period they create goodwill in the market and their target is to the
number one in this industry.
Three months are short time to know everything of a company and it is too difficult to recommend
something for the company. Even then I have tried my best to observe the overall position of the
company. On the basis of my little knowledge, I may suggest the following recommendations for
the smooth & successful operation of their business.
