In short

The LandBuyer AI plot builder lays out an indicative housing scheme on your site. It takes out constraints, easements and access, then places your own house types to your site specification. You see the homes, the private and affordable split and the land left unused, in 2D and 3D, before you pay for design.

FAQ

AI plot builder questions

Short answers to what land teams ask us before a demo.

Does the AI plot builder use our house types?

Yes. Add your house types to the house library, including CAD uploads, and set your site specification. The layout uses them.

What does it take out before laying out homes?

Constraints, easements and access. On Kew Yard the layout leaves room for habitat provision, a play area and a drainage basin, drawn from the nominated entrance.

Can we see the layout in 3D?

Yes. Switch between the 2D plan and the 3D view, and download the layout as PDF or CAD.

Is the layout a design?

No. It is an indicative layout that shows what the site could hold, so you can decide before you pay for design. It states what limits it, such as an indicative entrance.
