1. Analyse sites and identify constraints instantly.

Gone are the days of having to trawl through Local Authority websites to find your conservation areas, listed buildings and flood zones.  We show you what you need to know at the click of a button. 

  • Conservation areas

  • Listed buildings

  • TPOs

  • SHLAA, Site Allocations and Brownfield sites

  • Topography

  • Building heights

Our data comes from reliable and up-to-date sources such as the Department for Communities and Levelling up, so you know what you’re looking at is official and up to date.

2. Drag and drop pre-designed houses + apartment blocks.

Pick from our library of NDSS compliant residential buildings, and customise your floorplates to to your preferred mix of units and number of storeys.

  • Detached, semi detached and terraced houses

  • Wheelchair accessible + high energy efficient houses

  • Deck access, double loaded corridors and point block apartment typologies

Drag and drop building onto your site to see what you can fit where.

3. Lay out your access arrangements, add parking spaces.

Pick from a range of road types to design you access arrangements. Roads include:

  • Mews streets (8.1m)

  • Narrow residential streets (9.5m)

  • Wide residential streets (10.9m)

  • High streets (15m)

Pick from small, medium or blue badge parking bays and arrange them in parallel, perpendicular and echelon layouts.

Add spaces and check policy requirements.

4. Allocate gardens, play space and areas of biodiversity.

Understand how much of your site is taken up by open space. Pick from:

  • Play space

  • Biodiversity area

  • Gardens

Draw you open space, and we’ll calculate how much of each you’re providing on your site. We’ll always remove the buildings from the total, so you don’t haver to worry about drawing around buildings.
