Zoning verdict
As-of-right, minor variance, or ZBA. Read from your parcel's own zoning fabric.
Enter any Canadian address. Get the zoning verdict, every approval body, and every required study in 60 seconds, cited to the bylaw section, at a fraction of consultant cost. + 5 more sections in every report ↓
Diligence that takes weeks of bylaw PDFs and unreturned planner calls comes back before the meeting ends. Run it in the room.
The verdict is read from your municipality's own zoning fabric for the exact parcel, overlays and holding provisions included. Every standard cites its bylaw section. Not a generic AI summary.
60%+ of applications get sent back, and every resubmission means redesign fees, consultant hours, and months of added carrying cost. Know the full list before you file.








Buy a site. Three weeks of research, $25K to a consultant, and the 1st submission still comes back rejected over one missing study. The resubmission costs four months at $43K/month, before a shovel hits dirt.
Two tools. Built for pre-development. Works for any Canadian address.
Each one is a deliverable a consultant bills for on its own. You get all eight, for any address, in 60 seconds.

Canadian developers, architects, and permit expeditors spending weeks on research that should take minutes. Here is what each gets on day one.
Know your zoning verdict, your ZBA exposure, and your full agency circulation list before you commit capital. Not after the deposit clears.
PreBuildIQ catches OBC and zoning by-law violations before the 1st submission, so your commenting package comes back clean instead of flagged.
Deliver same-day pre-consultation packages instead of two months of manual research. Handle more clients across more jurisdictions, without hiring.
US platforms don't have Canadian municipal data. Generic AI tools don't have it. We're building it, municipality by municipality, from the portal up.
Built to scrape and update weekly from hundreds of Canadian municipal portals. No US platform has this dataset.
What each required study needs, who produces it, what the agency expects. For every municipality we cover.
Built for the OBC and Canadian regulatory structure. Not a US engine adapted for Canada.
Knowing you need a ZBA before you commit capital is worth more than any permit dashboard.
Pay per site. No subscription. Each address stays unlocked on your account permanently. Credits never expire.
