AI-driven site layout and unit-mix generator for residential and mixed-use development feasibility.
The development-feasibility placement is tied to the residential site-layout workflow plus the documented Zoneomics and ESRI integrations; C2 2/5 reflects no public API and Revit-add-in-only scripting, while C4 4/5 reflects the export stack.

Cloud-based property development appraisal and pro-forma software for real estate developers and professionals -- provides development pro-formas, residual land value calculations, cashflow forecasting, sensitivity analysis, development finance modelling, and professional lender-ready reporting; powers 3,000+ projects monthly with a 7-day free trial and ISO 27001-certified security.
Solid -- purpose-built development appraisal platform with transparent 7-day free trial, ISO 27001 certification, and an announced MCP integration for LLM-driven modelling queries; replaces Excel/ARGUS for small-to-mid developers with lender-ready reporting, though limited to UK/US markets and no public API beyond the planned MCP connector.

Parcel-level zoning intelligence and real estate feasibility platform combining a patented zoning rules engine with 3D scenario planning -- ZoneIQ enables real-time development capacity analysis for any parcel or assemblage, including zoning allowances, density, setbacks, and allowed uses; offers a Zoning Data API for programmatic access.
This is parcel-level by-right capacity analysis from zoning data rather than a general site-planning stack. C2 4/5 reflects the API-key Zoning Data API, and C4 3/5 reflects PDF report and JSON export.

Comprehensive site design software for rapid modeling from conceptual through detailed design phases. Integrates BIM workflows with site engineering capabilities including earthwork optimization, drainage design, and automated construction cost estimation. MicroStation-based desktop application.
The development-feasibility placement is earthwork optimization, drainage, and construction takeoff inside the site model; C5 3/5 reflects MicroStation, OpenRoads Designer, OpenBridge Designer, LumenRT, and ArcGIS integrations, and C3 2/5 marks moderate adoption friction on this rubric.

Web-based city-scale digital twin platform for design and visualization of infrastructure and urban development projects. Combines CAD/BIM models, GIS data, reality capture, and enterprise information into unified 3D environments accessible across multiple device types including desktop, tablet, mobile, VR/AR, and large touch-screens.
RF1 remains attached because pricing is contact-sales only, C2 2/5 reflects no documented API or scripting surface, and C4 4/5 reflects DGN, DWG, RVT, IFC, CityGML, GIS, and point-cloud import coverage.

Campus-first IWMS for higher education facilities teams, covering work orders, assets, inventory, property, space, and related capital-planning modules. AssetWorks layers AiM Capital Planning and Project Management plus Assessment & Needs Analysis on the same platform for institutions that want maintenance, space, and long-range planning tied together.
The development-feasibility placement is limited to AiM CPPM and ANA capital-planning workflows rather than developer underwriting; C2 3/5 reflects referenced REST APIs and campus data connectors, and C4 3/5 reflects XLSX and CSV exchange plus partial COBie import.

AI property-intelligence web tool that turns any US address or APN into a scaled, editable site plan in about 60 seconds, assembling parcel boundaries, setbacks, aerial imagery, and topography (from county/ESRI GIS) plus building-code checks and cost estimates. Self-serve per-project access; delivered through a GUI web app with no public API. Based in Mountain View, CA.
C1 4/5 reflects self-serve per-project access, and C4 3/5 reflects PDF and DXF export from the generated site plan, setbacks, code checks, and cost estimates. RF2 keeps C2 1/5 because delivery is a GUI web app with no public API.

Agent-hostile
SaaS that turns an address into zoning-validated 3D massing with multi-parcel unit-yield and density comparison for pre-acquisition feasibility. Self-serve with a public pricing page: $99/month base for unlimited site screening and zoning analysis, plus feasibility credits from $299/site for 3D modeling and exports to BIM platforms. GUI web app with no public API. Based in NYC.
C1 4/5 reflects self-serve access with feasibility credits from $299/site, and the workflow compares unit yield and density across parcels during pre-acquisition screening. RF2 keeps C2 1/5 because delivery is a GUI web app with no public API.

Agent-hostile
AI generative-design platform that produces optimized site, floor, and parking plans with pro-forma financials for early-stage real-estate feasibility, exporting to Revit (RVT), AutoCAD (DWG), and Excel. Enterprise/quote-gated with no public pricing and no public API; delivered as a GUI web app.
The development-feasibility placement is the same generative layout workflow paired with pro-forma financial output; C4 4/5 reflects XLSX and PDF export, while RF1 keeps C1 1/5 and C2 1/5 reflects the lack of a public API.

Real estate development feasibility and management software from Altus Group, enabling developers to model and manage complex multi-stage development projects including multi-phase cashflows, funding structures, and scenario analysis; part of the ARGUS commercial real estate software suite taught in 200+ universities worldwide.
Situational -- the industry-standard development feasibility tool for institutional-grade multi-phase projects with sophisticated funding-structure modelling and 200+ university adoption; but Altus Group enterprise pricing (RF1), desktop-install heritage, and no public API make it inaccessible for smaller developers and agent-driven workflows.

AI-powered real estate development and site-selection platform covering 126+ US cities (NYC five boroughs, Philadelphia, Jersey City, Miami, and others). Core capabilities: automated zoning reports with 20+ computed values per parcel (buildable area by FAR, lot coverage, max units, height limits), city-wide property screening by total buildable area, a "Zoning Signal" algorithm detecting how municipal zoning changes alter development potential, 3D massing and financial pro forma generation, a ChatDB demographic/economic data query tool, and AIM (deal-flow CRM). Founded 2017. No public API.
Combines zoning data with 3D massing and financial pro forma generation for a development feasibility workflow; useful for early-stage development screening in covered cities, though limited geographic coverage and no integrations with BIM/design tools constrain the use case.

Agent-hostile
Web app (a Build AI module) that walks site setup through AI massing, feasibility (NOI/IRR/NPV/DSCR/Cap Rate), and a bill of quantities to an exportable PDF proposal. Localized for Japan (coverage/FAR/slant-plane zoning) and Mongolia; UI in Mongolian/Japanese/English/Korean. Sales-led with no disclosed pricing and no public API.
The development-feasibility placement is the NOI, IRR, NPV, DSCR, and cap-rate workflow tied to Japan and Mongolia zoning coverage plus PDF proposal export. RF1 keeps C1 at 1/5 because pricing is sales-led with no disclosed pricing, and C2 1/5 reflects no public API, CLI, MCP, webhook, or scripting surface.
