How far does the financial side go?

Scenarios compare program and cost, and the capital one-pager covers the capital need. Returns such as IRR and residual land value are not calculated in the project yet. A separate free calculator covers residual land value.

Is the result a permit or professional advice?

No. The workspace gives preliminary decision support with sources. It is not a permit, an appraisal or a professional certification, and the approval route is a first read to verify with the municipality.

Work up a project

Project workspace From a search result to a decision.

Open any lot as a project. Read the cited site facts, the buildable envelope and the blockers and opportunities, then compare scenarios with BuckyAssist beside you.

Example · An invented lot and by-law in the project Overview. Some sections are hidden.

Start a project

The facts, the sources and the assumptions travel with the project.

A search becomes a project when a lot is worth pursuing.

01 — Site facts

Cited facts, with the gaps shown

Overview facts name their sources, so you can see what is known, what is assumed and what still needs checking.

02 — Envelope

The buildable envelope

See the volume that setbacks, height and coverage leave. These are extracted limits, so confirm them against the bylaw before design starts.

03 — Blockers and opportunities

What the site offers and what limits it

Two cards sort the read into blockers and opportunities, so the findings that change the decision come first.

04 — Approval route

A first read on how it gets approved

A site is flagged as as-of-right, likely discretionary, carrying site-specific constraints, or needing professional validation. It is a first read, not a permit pathway.

05 — Scenarios

Compare programs and cost

Model programs against the envelope and compare units, floor area, parking and cost. Export a capital one-pager to Excel covering the site, the envelope, the capital need and who is involved. Revenue and returns are marked to be added, not estimated.

06 — BuckyAssist

An AI planning assistant in the project

Ask about the lot, run analysis and draft the next step from the project's cited record. BuckyAssist is an assistant, not an autonomous professional, and you review its work.
