Land potential studies

What your land can hold, drawn to scale.

We start from the lot's real dimensions and show what can be built on it: a scaled site plan, an area schedule that adds up to the lot, and realistic images of the result.

An empty lot is hard to sell. A lot with a workable project becomes a decision.

How a study works

  1. 01

    Lot dimensions

    Surveyor's plan, deed or CAD file. Without one, we start from an approximate outline and say so.

  2. 02

    Local rules

    Setbacks, lot coverage, height limits and required parking from the municipality or zoning code.

  3. 03

    Site plan and areas

    A scaled drawing with up to three use options and an account of every square meter of the lot.

  4. 04

    Images

    Aerial, street and interior views with local materials and planting.

What each study includes

  • 01

    Dimensioned site plan

    The real lot with setbacks, buildings, parking, pool and landscape, all to scale.

  • 02

    Area schedule

    Built area, coverage, units and parking, adding up to 100% of the lot.

  • 03

    Realistic images

    Three views per option, so owners and investors can see the project before deciding.

The ten projects on this page are fictional and were created to show the type of study. Images are illustrative and areas were calculated on hypothetical lots. A real project depends on local regulations and drawings signed by a licensed local professional.
