Quickly understand whether a site is worth progressing.

Move from a site boundary to an early view of capacity, constraints, unit mix, development potential and whether the opportunity is likely to stack.

Helps with:

• Screening more opportunities in less time

• Identifying sites where capacity assumptions are too optimistic

• Deciding which opportunities deserve further diligence

Get to a land value position earlier.

Connect capacity, unit mix, GDV and build cost assumptions to build a quicker view of residual land value.

Helps with:

• Forming a clearer view of what the land is worth

• Testing whether a deal is likely to work commercially

• Supporting more disciplined bids and negotiations

Challenge unrealistic land value expectations with clearer evidence.

Use site-specific evidence around capacity, constraints, developable area and early viability to support more grounded conversations with landowners and agents.

Helps with:

• Showing what can realistically fit on the site

• Explaining why headline land expectations may need to be recalibrated

• Reducing reliance on gut feel during negotiation

Understand what parts of the site can actually be developed.

Move beyond gross site area by accounting for constraints, access, open space, policy requirements and other land-take assumptions.

Helps with:

• Identifying developable and non-developable areas

• Understanding how constraints affect capacity and value

• Avoiding overly optimistic assumptions at acquisition stage

Compare different ways a site could work.

Test alternative layouts, densities, unit mixes, typologies and assumptions before deciding which route to pursue.

Helps with:

• Comparing higher and lower density options

• Testing different housing mixes and layouts

• Understanding trade-offs between capacity, value, cost and policy

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

Create clearer early evidence before engaging with planners.

Use Blocktype to understand how capacity, constraints and policy requirements shape the site before moving into formal design or pre-application discussions.

Helps with:

• Preparing for early conversations with planning teams

• Understanding policy impacts before detailed design

• Creating a stronger brief for consultants and architects
