For Architects & Engineers

Start Projects with Verified Site Intelligence

Reduce design rework by validating site constraints upfront. Get zoning, flood zones, utilities, and geotechnical data from government sources before schematic design.

Design Challenges We Solve

Design with confidence by validating site constraints before schematic design.

Incomplete Client Briefs

The Problem: Clients say "design a retail center" but don't know if the zoning allows retail.

SiteIntel Solution: Validate zoning, setbacks, and height limits before you start design.

Mid-Project Surprises

The Problem: Discover flood zones or utility constraints in CD phase, forcing redesigns.

SiteIntel Solution: Identify all site constraints upfront to avoid costly design rework.

Time-Consuming Research

The Problem: Junior staff spend hours calling utilities and planning departments.

SiteIntel Solution: Get verified zoning, utilities, and environmental data in 10 minutes.

Integrate SiteIntel into Your Design Workflow

1

Pre-Design

Validate Site Feasibility Before Proposal

Run a SiteIntel report before responding to RFPs. Identify deal-killers like flood zones or inadequate utilities. Include site constraints in your proposal scope and fee.

2

Programming

Define Design Constraints Upfront

Use verified zoning data to define buildable envelope, parking requirements, and setbacks. Share environmental constraints with civil engineers early. Establish realistic project expectations with clients.

3

Schematic Design

Design Within Known Site Constraints

Reference flood elevations for finished floor heights. Design around wetlands and environmental buffers. Coordinate utility locations with MEP team early.

4

Design Development

Validate Design Against Regulatory Requirements

Confirm zoning compliance before CD. Use market data to validate program assumptions. Share feasibility report with permitting consultants and civil engineers.

Site Data AEC Professionals Need

Zoning & Building Code

  • Permitted uses and conditional allowances
  • Setback requirements (front, side, rear)
  • Height limits and FAR maximums
  • Parking requirements by use type

Flood & Drainage

  • FEMA flood zone designation (AE, X, etc.)
  • Base Flood Elevation (BFE) for FFE design
  • Drainage patterns and watershed mapping
  • FEMA LOMR history and revision dates

Utilities & Infrastructure

  • Water and sewer service location and capacity
  • Power service availability and transformer location
  • Gas line proximity and pressure
  • Broadband and fiber infrastructure

Environmental & Geotechnical

  • Wetlands delineation from USFWS
  • Soil type and bearing capacity (NRCS)
  • EPA contamination history
  • Seismic zone classification
