Curve IP · Patent Pending

A red line in.
An investment-ready
development out.

CurveDeveloper takes a site boundary and returns ranked, costed, planning-aware residential layouts — with the geology, flood risk, access, 3D visualisation and residual land value already worked out. The land appraisal phase of a housing scheme, automated.

The problem

Land appraisal is the bottleneck.
It doesn't have to be.

Appraising a residential site today means weeks of desk studies, consultant sketches, spreadsheet residuals and marked-up PDFs — before anyone can say whether the scheme even works, let alone what the land is worth. CurveDeveloper compresses that phase into a single desktop run: live data in, ranked layouts out, with the commercial reasoning — and the honest caveats — written down. Then the same plot-level model carries the scheme through delivery.

The pipeline

From a boundary to a board paper — in one run.

Draw the red line — or let us find it

Sketch a boundary on licensed Ordnance Survey mapping, drop in a council 'general area', or paste a title plan. AI vision checks the geometry and snaps it onto real OS NGD land parcels — proposing a corrected, buildable boundary you can edit.

Build a live site intelligence model

For the land inside the line, CurveDeveloper pulls BGS geology, DEFRA LiDAR terrain, EA flood zones, planning constraints, heritage designations, ecology layers and buried-services evidence — a full desk study assembled automatically.

03

Score the access

Every possible entry from the highway network is found and scored — visibility splays, junction spacing, gradient, carriageway class — so the layout starts from an access that a highways officer would actually accept.

04

Generate the layout

A precedent-based engine lays roads, plots and house types across the site — perimeter blocks, culs-de-sac, infill strips — parameterised from public design guidance, never scraped from copyrighted schemes. Turning heads, refuse tracking and garden standards are checked as it builds.

Optimise on margin, not vibes

The engine sweeps density, road geometry and housing mix across hundreds of candidate layouts, prices every one at plot level, and ranks them by residual margin. You review the top candidates side by side and promote the winner.

Walk the scheme in 3D

Every layout renders as an interactive 3D scene — LiDAR terrain, house geometry, roads, gardens, street trees — with flood, ecology and planning overlays draped on top. Orbit it, fly it, walk it at street level.

Price it to the brick

House types explode into material and labour take-offs, aggregated across the scheme. Abnormals — ground conditions, services capacity, flood mitigation — are surfaced as plot-level cost drivers, not a lump in the contingency.

Appraise like an investment committee

A full developer appraisal: residual land value, sensitivity to price and mix, and a scored risk register mapped to the constraints on the ground — exported as a board-ready PDF.

Run the build commercially

Beyond appraisal, the same plot-level model runs delivery: AI-drafted take-offs, quote comparisons, payment applications, snags and variations — every one reviewed and approved by a human before it counts.

The platform

One platform. Every discipline a land deal touches.

Boundary Intelligence

Vague council 'general areas' become precise, parcel-snapped boundaries — AI vision-checked against OS NGD, with every correction proposed, never silently applied.

Live GB Geodata

BGS geology, DEFRA LiDAR, EA flood zones, planning and heritage constraints, buried-plant evidence — fetched live for your site on licensed OS basemaps.

Layout Generation

Roads, plots and house types placed by a precedent-pattern engine built on national design guidance — with geometric validity, turning and access checked on every candidate.

Margin Optimisation

Hundreds of layout candidates swept, priced and Pareto-ranked on residual margin. Genuinely different options — not one answer dressed up five ways.

3D Site Viewer

Real LiDAR terrain, generated housing, roads and landscaping in an interactive scene with flood, ecology and planning lenses. Orbit, fly or walk it.

Plot-Level Costing

Every cost, snag, variation and payment anchored to a plot. Repeated house types make the data compound across thousands of homes.

Developer Appraisal

Residual land value, sensitivity analysis and a scored risk register — generated in minutes, exported as a board-ready PDF.

AI Delivery Agents

Specialist agents for drawing intake, take-offs, quote comparison, payment review, risk and reporting. They draft; your team decides.

Audit-First Records

Every state change writes an append-only audit row. Approvals keep both the AI original and the human-edited final — forever.

Walk it before you buy it

Every scheme in interactive 3D — on the real terrain.

LiDAR ground model, generated housing, roads, gardens and street trees — with flood zones, ecology and planning constraints draped as live overlays. Orbit the masterplan, fly the street network, or drop to eye level and walk the plots you're about to bid on.

Constraint lenses

Flood, ecology, heritage and planning overlays, toggled live on the model.

True LiDAR terrain

DEFRA elevation data — levels, falls and retaining problems visible instantly.

Orbit · fly · walk

Three camera modes, plot-by-plot selection and KML export for Google Earth.

Governance

AI recommends.
Your people decide.

Every AI output — boundary corrections, take-offs, quote comparisons, payment reviews, risk reports — lands in an approval queue for a named human to edit, approve or reject. Nothing moves money or commits the business on its own.

Two-stage approvals

AI drafts, a named person signs off. Both the AI original and the human-edited final are retained, side by side.

Append-only audit trail

Every state change writes an immutable audit row — who, what, when, and what the AI said before a human touched it.

Licensed data, clean provenance

Licensed OS mapping, government open data, and a layout engine built on public design guidance — not scraped schemes. Your data stays yours.

Who it's for

Built for the people who answer “should we buy this land?”

Land Directors

Screen more sites, faster. From a red line to a ranked, costed layout with residual land value — before the agent has chased you twice.

Commercial Directors

Portfolio-level margin visibility built up from plot-level truth. Sensitivity and risk on every scheme, in the same format, every time.

Quantity Surveyors

AI-drafted take-offs, quote comparisons and payment reviews land in an approval queue — you edit, approve or reject, and the audit trail writes itself.

Site Managers

Plot-level snags and evidence from the ground feed the same commercial model — open snags block payments until they're closed.

Deliverables

Everything a board pays for. Nothing it takes on trust.

Board-Ready Appraisal PDF

Residual land value, ranked layout options with plans, sensitivity tables, scored risk register and stated assumptions — honest caveats in writing.

Interactive 3D Scheme

The promoted layout on real terrain with constraint overlays — shareable with your board, your planners and your engineers.

Plot-Level Cost Model

Material and labour take-offs per house type, abnormals per plot, rolled up to scheme totals that update as the layout changes.

GIS-Ready Geometry

Boundaries, roads, plots and constraints as clean vector data — KML export for Google Earth and downstream design tools.
