What We Do

Programs, Platform, and Expertise

We build pre-approved building programs, deploy the platform that powers them, and advise communities and organizations on policy, zoning, and implementation.

Our flagship offering

Pre-Approved Building Programs

Our end-to-end solution for communities ready to launch a pre-approved building program. We curate a portfolio of professionally designed plans that fit your community, pre-review them against your local code, and deploy the platform that connects those plans to residents and builders. The approach is tested, and accommodates plan modifications by builders so your program works in the real world.

Pre-Approved Building Programs

Designed from scratch

Custom Portfolios

When a community needs something purpose-built, our architecture partners design a portfolio from scratch. We manage the entire process, from design brief through delivery, and a custom portfolio can include most or all of the features in our standard end-to-end offering, including platform deployment and pre-review.

Custom Portfolios

Bring your own buildings

Platform

Some cities and towns already have building plans they'd like to offer as pre-approved. Our platform makes it easy for residents to look up their property and see exactly which plans are pre-approved for their specific lot and zoning district. No office visit required. Same technology that powers our flagship programs, available standalone.
