Test what can realistically fit on land —before committing significant time, money or consultant resource.
Blocktype helps councils, developers and public landowners by bringing together site constraints, planning policy, real housing typologies, capacity testing and early viability indicators in one platform so teams can assess opportunities more quickly and make better early-stage decisions.
-
Step 1: Which parts of the site are constrained or non-developable?
Draw or import a site boundary and review key constraints.
-
Step 2: What can realistically fit on this site?
Use real housing typologies to generate and compare layout options.
-
Step 3: What housing mix and density could work?
Review capacity, density, child yield, and comply with policy requirements
-
Step 4: What are the early cost and value indicators?
Review capacity, density, unit mix, GDV, build cost and other early indicators.
-
Step 5: How do different layout options compare?
Create schedules, images and reports to support internal reviews.
Built for the teams turning land into housing
-
Assess more council-owned, brownfield, infill and small sites internally. Use Blocktype to create more consistent early evidence before sites move into funding, procurement, consultation or design.
-
Test land opportunities earlier. Understand capacity, constraints, policy implications and early viability before spending heavily on external feasibility work.
-
Compare options across a portfolio, prioritise the strongest opportunities and support clearer conversations around delivery, investment and next steps.
UKREiiF brings together conversations on housing delivery, planning reform, public land, infrastructure and investment.
But they all come down to one practical question.
WHY THIS MATTERS NOW
Blocktype helps councils, developers and public landowners answer that question earlier, faster and with clearer evidence.
That means teams can assess more sites, compare options consistently, and understand what is genuinely deliverable before committing to detailed design work.
