Turn parcel rules into permit-ready decisions.

Plotweld is being built to connect local rules, proposed massing and permit preparation in one sourced parcel workflow.

THE WORKFLOW02—03

One parcel. A connected read.

Local requirements are easier to act on when the site, the design and the source material can be read together.

Three stages show how a parcel workflow can connect scattered rule sources, design checks and permit preparation.

  1. 0101 / BEFORE

    The parcel and its rules start apart.

    A pin, zoning layers, easements, preservation notes and permit forms can each tell part of the story.

  2. 0202 / VERIFY

    Check massing against sourced rules.

    Height, setbacks, floor-area ratio and parking checks should surface potential issues and mark unknowns clearly.

  3. 0303 / PREPARE

    Send the review forward with issues visible.

    Bring citations, open questions and jurisdiction-specific permit materials into one reviewable handoff.

Jurisdiction coverage depends on authoritative local sources; unresolved or unavailable rules should stay visible.

WHAT PLOTWELD IS BUILT AROUND03—03

From site question to permit prep.

Three connected jobs for teams who need a practical read before a project moves ahead.

Read the parcel

Start with an address or map pin, then bring zoning, overlays, easements and preservation rules into view with their sources.

Check the proposal

Compare simple massing inputs with height, setback, floor-area-ratio and parking constraints. Keep unknown requirements marked.

Prepare the review

Assemble jurisdiction-specific forms, checklists and drawing annotations, with potential issues visible before submission.

MADE FOR SMALL TEAMS

Keep the whole site question in reach.

  • Architects

    Start a concept with a clearer read of the lot and local constraints.

  • Developers

    Surface parcel questions before a design or acquisition moves too far.

  • General contractors

    Connect zoning research with the forms and checks needed for a permit path.
