Design optimal residential developments in minutes, not weeks.
Draw or import a site, set your planning controls, and AI generates options for apartment buildings, townhouse rows, duplexes or house-and-land lots, with floor plans, parking, costs and profit, each checked against your controls. Then export to Excel, CAD and BIM.

Three steps from a lot to a feasibility.
Input
Search the address to pull in surrounding buildings, roads, trees and terrain from open data. Draw the boundary, pick it from the map or import a DXF survey. Set setbacks, height, FSR, unit mix and parking rates, or describe the project in plain English and let AI fill them in.
AI generation
The generator tests hundreds of orientations, depths and typologies inside your buildable envelope, keeps the required separation, sets storeys under your caps, plans every floor and basement, and ranks the options for yield, amenity or profit. Usually in under three seconds.
Output
Compare the options, refine the one you like by hand, and read the unit program, areas, compliance, costs and return as you go. Export the result as an Excel report, CAD drawings or an IFC model for Revit, ArchiCAD and other BIM tools.
Massing, floors and basements in 3D, with real sun.
Orbit the scheme, colour it by building, height, unit type or midwinter sun hours, and slide the sun through any day of the year. Shadows are calculated for your exact location. Switch to the realistic render for a presentation view with sky, materials, glazing and soft shadows.
- Realistic render: rendered or brick facades, recessed windows, glass balustrades, roofs, grass, roads and trees, saved as a high-resolution PNG
- Midwinter solar access for every apartment
- Surrounding buildings and trees from OpenStreetMap
- Terrain from a digital elevation model, editable with a brush
- Basement levels, ramp and parking bays below ground
The full feasibility workflow, in the browser.
Site to spreadsheet without switching tools.
Site, zoning and overlays
Draw or edit the boundary, or find the lot from a NSW address with its zone, FSR, height, minimum lot size and any heritage, flood, landslide or acid sulfate soils mapping. Zone rules say what you can build. Import context from OpenStreetMap or a DXF survey.
Topography and services
Surveyed 2 m contours and spot heights for NSW sites (a digital elevation model elsewhere, or DXF levels), labelled on the plan and shown as a 3D surface. Record the water, sewer, stormwater and electricity at the frontage and get the demand, substation, meter and detention sizing with the connection costs.
Generative massing
Linear bars, L, U, courtyard, H-blocks and point towers. Choose which typologies to try and what to optimise: yield, amenity, sun or profit.
Townhouses, duplexes, houses and granny flats
Houses mode lays out townhouse rows with shared driveways, duplex lots and house-and-land subdivisions with a new road, or a single house on one lot with or without a granny flat. Every lot gets its area, frontage, coverage, garden and garage checked, with pitched roofs in 3D; granny flats are checked against the NSW complying-development limits (lot size and width, 60 m² floor area, height, setbacks) and shown with their cost, added value and rent.
Floor planner
Every floor laid out with lift and stair cores, corridors and apartments, drawn with their rooms, furniture, windows and doors. Drag party walls to resize units, change a unit's use to common area or open space, and overlay another level for reference.
Dwelling planner
Click any dwelling for its room schedule and a detailed plan: bedrooms, living, kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and hall with doors and sized windows. Drag partitions, slide or resize windows and doors, add openings, and check minimum dimensions and target areas with colour overlays.
Basement parking
Ramp at the frontage, aisles and perpendicular bays, accessible bays near the cores and storage cages. Levels are added until demand is met.
Live unit program
Units by type against your target mix, average sizes, GFA, GBA, net sellable area, efficiency, coverage and FSR, all updating as you change anything.
Compliance checks
Zone permissibility, height, storeys, FSR, coverage, setbacks, separation, depth, unit sizes, rooms, sun, cross-ventilation, parking, deep soil, landscaping and flood floor levels, with heritage, bushfire and soil constraints flagged, each shown as pass, warning or fail.
Quantities and costs
An automatic bill of quantities measured from the design (excavation, retention, frame, facade, glazing, lifts, fit-out, services) with unit rates you can edit.
Feasibility
Revenue by typology, GST, selling costs, land, duty, fees, contributions and finance, giving profit, margin on cost, residual land value and a price/cost sensitivity grid.
Presets, compare and share
Save settings as presets and add your own typologies, rules and KPI formulas such as cost / nsa. Compare options side by side, and share a view-only or copyable link.
Take the result into the tools you already use.
Built for the first, fastest question: what fits?
Architects
Test massing options before the first sketch and bring numbers to the client meeting.
Developers
Screen sites in minutes: yield, parking, cost, profit and the residual land value you can afford to pay.
Planners and valuers
See what a set of controls actually produces on a real lot, and compare scenarios side by side.
Builders
Early quantities and a budget from the design itself, ready to refine with your own rates.
Starts with sensible local settings. Every one is yours to change.
Defaults follow the NSW Apartment Design Guide (minimum apartment sizes, 12/18/24 m separation, 2.7 m ceilings, eight units per core, 2 hours of midwinter sun for 70% of units) and AS/NZS 2890.1 car-park geometry, with indicative 2026 Sydney construction rates in AUD.
