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 ↓
Site diligence that takes weeks of bylaw PDFs and unreturned planner calls comes back before the meeting ends. Run it in the room, on the property you are discussing.
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. Your first report is free.

A developer buys a site. Three weeks of research across 6 agencies. $25K to a planning consultant. The 1st submission still comes back rejected over one missing study, and the resubmission takes 4 months at $43K/month carrying cost, before a shovel hits dirt.
Two tools. Built for pre-development. Works for any Canadian address.
Every report reads like a drawing set: indexed, dimensioned, and cited. Assembled from zoning bylaws, municipal GIS, agency terms of reference, and planning decision records for every municipality we cover.
As-of-right, minor variance, or ZBA. Read from your municipality's zoning fabric for the exact parcel, including holding provisions and overlays.
Every barrier between your intended use and an approvable path, ranked by severity, with the approvals, studies, weeks, and cost to clear each one.
The full commenting list: planning, building, conservation authority, region, utilities. Who reviews your file and what each one requires.
Every study your submission triggers, with the terms of reference, the consultant who produces it, market cost, and duration.
Setbacks, height, FSI, lot coverage, parking. Pulled from the governing bylaw and cited to the exact section.
Your maximum buildable envelope drawn to the parcel's real geometry. Plan and elevation, every setback dimensioned.
Structural, engineering, permit fees, finishes, HST. An all-in range for your project type and scale, plus the carrying cost of every month of delay.
How comparable applications near your site were decided: approved, refused, conditions attached. Precedent without digging through committee minutes.
Three weeks of research. A $14,000 consultant engagement. Compressed to 60 seconds.
Try a sample scan. This illustrates real output.
Built around how developers actually work.
Enter an address. Get your zoning verdict, every approval agency, every required study, and every submission trigger. In 60 seconds.
Upload drawings. Catch OBC violations and zoning conflicts before the reviewing agency does. One clean 1st submission saves months.
File directly. Track every submission across every agency in one view. Get alerts the moment a review stalls.
Canadian developers, GCs, and architects spending weeks on research that should take minutes.
5–20 projects per year with no in-house planning team. Know your zoning verdict, your ZBA exposure, and your full agency circulation list before you commit capital. Not after.
You prepare the drawings. You face the reviewing agencies. PreBuildIQ catches OBC and zoning by-law violations before the 1st submission so your commenting package comes back clean.
Deliver same-day pre-consultation packages instead of two months of manual research. Handle more clients across more jurisdictions, without adding headcount.
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.
