The Development Planning Challenge

When a major North American developer calls with a 40-acre site requiring immediate yield analysis for purchase decisions, traditional planning methods fall short.

Time-Critical Decisions

Developers need rapid concept plans and yield analysis within 24-48 hours to make informed purchase decisions, but traditional CAD-based workflows take weeks.

Complex Design Variables

Balancing lot counts, road efficiency, earthwork estimates, and regulatory compliance across multiple design iterations manually is time-intensive and error-prone.

Resource Constraints

CAD-illiterate stakeholders need intuitive tools for early concept exploration, while technical teams require detailed exports for further development.

Market Differentiation

Firms need creative, efficient layouts that stand out in competitive markets while meeting diverse client requirements and local regulations.

Intelligent Generation

AI engine generates multiple layout options based on your criteria: lot sizes, road types, amenities, and local regulations.

Real-Time Metrics

Instant calculations for lot counts, road lengths, earthwork estimates, and financial projections as you design.

Flexible Editing

Intuitive tools for both CAD-literate and non-technical users to refine layouts and explore alternatives.

Technical Capabilities

Data Integration

  • Import GIS layers, DXF files, PDFs, and Excel data
  • Work with 2-foot contour data for concept-level accuracy
  • Integrate parcel data, zoning, and regulatory constraints
  • Layer topography, utilities, and environmental data

Design Intelligence

  • Generate curvilinear and orthogonal street layouts
  • Optimize for different lot width markets (40', 50', 60', 70', 80')
  • Balance earthwork cut/fill for cost optimization
  • Create "creativity levels" from conservative to innovative

Lot Optimization

Market-specific sizing, setback compliance, and yield maximization based on your criteria

Topography Integration

Grade analysis, buildable area identification, and earthwork volume calculations

Regulatory Compliance

Built-in rule checking for setbacks, densities, and local ordinance requirements

Implementation Process

1

Platform Customization

We configure the AI engine with your specific design criteria, local regulations, and market requirements. Import your standard GIS data layers and establish project templates.

2

Team Training

Hands-on training for both technical and non-technical team members. Learn to navigate the interface, set parameters, and generate professional-quality outputs.

3

Workflow Integration

Establish seamless export workflows to your existing CAD systems (AutoCAD, Bentley) and reporting tools (Excel, PDF). Configure automated output formatting.

4

Continuous Optimization

Regular platform updates based on your usage patterns and feedback. Ongoing support for new project types and regulatory changes.
