CONSULTANTSProduce clearer site options and feasibility evidence, faster
Blocktype helps consultants test site capacity, constraints, layout options and early viability more quickly, giving clients clearer evidence at the start of a project.
Use Blocktype to support early feasibility, option testing, planning advice, regeneration work and development strategy.
Strengthen client advice
Give clients clearer evidence around what is realistic before progressing into detailed design or planning work.
Compare options consistently
Test different densities, mixes, typologies and policy assumptions using a repeatable workflow.
Speed up early feasibility
Move from site boundary to capacity, constraints and layout options more quickly.
THE CHALLANGE
Early-stage advice often needs to be produced quickly, but still needs to be credible
Clients often need fast answers before committing to a site, strategy or next stage of work.
But early feasibility can be time-consuming, especially when sites need to be tested against constraints, policy, access, density, mix and viability assumptions.
How consultants use Blocktype
Blocktype helps consultants produce clearer early-stage options and evidence faster, without relying only on rough density assumptions or manual testing.
-
Move from site boundary to a clearer view of development potential.
Use Blocktype to test capacity, constraints, developable area, layout options and early viability before more detailed design work begins.
Helps with:
Producing faster initial feasibility outputs
Testing what can realistically fit on a site
Giving clients clearer evidence before the next stage
Helps with:
Screening more opportunities in less time
Identifying sites where capacity assumptions are too optimistic
Deciding which opportunities deserve further diligence
-
Compare different approaches before a preferred route is chosen.
Test alternative densities, unit mixes, typologies, access assumptions and policy scenarios so clients can understand the trade-offs.
Helps with:
Comparing multiple layout options
Testing different development strategies
Supporting clearer client conversations
-
Support planning advice with clearer site-level testing.
Use Blocktype to understand how constraints, policy requirements and site characteristics affect capacity and deliverability.
Helps with:
Moving beyond high-level density assumptions
Testing capacity against real site constraints
Supporting planning strategy and early advice
-
Help public-sector clients understand what land could realistically deliver.
Use Blocktype to assess public land, brownfield sites, estate assets or wider portfolios before detailed consultancy work begins.
Helps with:
Reviewing more sites consistently
Prioritising opportunities across a pipeline
Creating clearer evidence for public-sector decision-making
-
Give clients a stronger view before they commit.
Use Blocktype to test site potential, constraints, unit mix and early viability to support acquisition, disposal, partnership or delivery strategies.
Helps with:
Informing land and development strategy
Supporting disposal or partner conversations
Identifying risks earlier in the process
-
Give architects and external consultants a stronger starting point.
Use Blocktype to test the commercial logic of a site before briefing external teams, so consultants start from a clearer view of capacity, mix, constraints, developable area and viability assumptions.
Helps with:
Briefing architects with clearer commercial and site assumptions
Testing which layouts, densities or unit mixes are likely to support stronger residual land value
Reducing the risk of external feasibility work coming back misaligned with commercial expectations
-
Standardise how early site assessments are produced.
Blocktype gives teams a more consistent way to test and compare sites across projects, clients and portfolios.
Helps with:
Reducing manual repetition
Improving consistency across outputs
Scaling early-stage assessment work across more sites
