How accurate are LandPlanner's construction cost predictions?

Our gradient-boosted ensemble model is trained on thousands of actual construction projects and calibrated with conformal prediction to produce 95% confidence intervals. Every estimate shows P10 (optimistic), P50 (median), and P90 (conservative) bounds.

What geographic areas does LandPlanner cover?

Full parcel analysis including zoning, assessor data, and jurisdiction intelligence is live across 15 US states — including Utah, Idaho, California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Oregon, Washington, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, North Carolina, Nevada, and Ohio — with more added on a rolling basis. Environmental and federal data (FEMA, USGS, EPA, NOAA, Census, NREL) is available nationwide for any US coordinate.

What data sources does LandPlanner use?

We aggregate data from 15+ federal, state, and local agencies including FEMA, USGS, Census Bureau, USDA SSURGO, NREL, USFWS, EPA, NOAA, USFS, BLS, Walk Score, and county assessors.

Can I analyze multiple parcels at once?

Yes. Pro plans and above include batch screening — upload a CSV of coordinates and our engine scores each parcel for feasibility, construction cost, and environmental risk. Enterprise plans also get batch API access with webhooks.

How is LandPlanner different from other site analysis tools?

Most tools show raw data and leave interpretation to you. LandPlanner combines authoritative data from 15+ sources with machine learning to produce actionable outputs: calibrated cost predictions with confidence intervals, automated pro formas, entitlement risk scoring, permit outcome predictions, foundation analysis, stormwater BMP design, buildable area calculations, and fire access compliance checks.

The 2026 Buyer's Guide to Site Analysis Software

Category 1: Zoning Data Platforms

Pull zoning codes and dimensional standards. Best for quick zoning checks. Limited to zoning only.

Category 2: AI Layout Tools

Generate building layouts within zoning constraints. Best for conceptual design. Don't analyze site feasibility.

Category 3: Cost Estimation Tools

Regional cost averages by building type. Best for detailed budgeting. Don't account for site-specific factors.

Category 4: Pro Forma Tools

Financial modeling calculators. Best for underwriting. Require manual data input.

Category 5: GIS Platforms

Visualize parcel and data layers. Best for site selection. Show data but don't analyze it.

Category 6: Full-Stack Site Analysis

Combine all data layers with ML predictions. Best for screening and feasibility. Trade depth for breadth.

Minimum Viable Stack

Full-stack analysis + pro forma + layout tool. Three tools covering screening through design.
