Who is using Bucky?

Developers.

Bucky is designed for the people managing the application of the residential project to the municipality. This could mean an experienced professional working in a real estate development office, such as:

Pre-Construction Manager, Estimator, Director of Pre-Construction, Development Associate, Development Coordinator, Project Coordinator, Planning Technician, Assistant Project Manager, Principal, Managing Member, Real Estate Developer, Owner-Builder, etc.

Or, it could mean inexperienced homeowners that are looking to start building their residential portfolio.

How can experts get involved?

Begin by creating a profile and uploading your company details. Bucky allows experts to upload their service regions, their preferred building types, and begin building their service list. This is then aligned with the demands deriving from regional permits deliverables, allowing homebuilders to hire the right expert to complete the permitting process. These experts include:

Designers, Builders, Engineers, Land Surveyors, Building Inspectors, Environmental Consultants, Energy Advisors, etc.

If you don’t see your title listed, give us a call.

What are the value propositions?

Feasibility Intelligence: Instantly understand the "buildability" of a site (costs, success rates, and local requirements) before spending a dollar on design.

Automated Regulatory Path: A dynamic, AI-generated roadmap that converts complex municipal bylaws into a simple checklist of deliverables and automated permit filings.

The Built-Environment Marketplace: Direct access to a pre-vetted experts who have successfully navigated that exact municipality before.

What does Bucky not do?

We do not manage the uploading process to the municipality. We create the collaborative platform for you to hire your team, and upload your documentation. Every municipality is different, and what you will need is a clear checklist of what is expected, but the documentation upload is passed on to the project owner. We offer support throughout this process, and can be engaged as the representative and project manager when necessary.
