Know what to build
before you buy.
The "help me decide" route. Give us the site and your priorities and we rank the development strategies (dwelling counts, viability, land values and consent programmes), then test the strongest one before we stand behind it.
Included as standard with Feasibility Intelligence, from £995, and the Pre-Application Pack — at no extra cost.
How the Scheme Optimiser works
We analyse your site
Constraints, density policy, flood zone, heritage, ecology, transport accessibility — all checked automatically.
We model the options
Multiple development strategies tested: dwelling count, housing mix, parking, open space, affordable housing.
We run the numbers
GDV, build costs, CIL, affordable housing liability, developer profit, and residual land value — for every option.
You get ranked strategies
Up to 5 strategies ranked by viability, yield, speed, or risk. With consent costs, programme timeline, and policy compliance.
What you get
Everything a developer needs to decide whether to proceed — and what to build if they do.
Density-optimised dwelling count
We calculate the achievable density range for your site based on its constraints, area classification, and local plan policy — not guesswork.
Full viability appraisal
GDV from local comparable sales, BCIS regional build costs, CIL liability, affordable housing obligations, and residual land value. For every strategy.
Maximum land price
Know the most you should pay for the land before you commit. We calculate the residual at multiple profit margins so you can negotiate with confidence.
Policy compliance check
Every strategy is tested against NPPF policy, local plan requirements, and known constraint triggers. You see where the risks are before you spend a penny.
Multiple development types
Family housing, retirement living, build-to-rent, conversion, mixed-use, self-build plots, 100% affordable for housing associations, care homes, and student accommodation.
Consent programme & costs
Estimated pre-application fees, planning application fees, consultant costs, and a week-by-week programme from instruction to consent. No surprises.
What's in the report
Who uses this
Land buyers
Know the maximum land price you can pay before making an offer. Run the numbers on multiple sites in a day instead of a month.
Developers
Test different schemes before instructing architects. Compare family housing vs retirement vs build-to-rent on the same site.
Housing associations
Model 100% affordable schemes with Homes England grant, blended transfer values, and tenure split. See viability before bidding.
Up to five development strategies, tested against your site before you commit.
