Question 1

How accurate are LandPlanner's construction cost predictions?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

What geographic areas does LandPlanner cover?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What data sources does LandPlanner use?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Can I analyze multiple parcels at once?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

How is LandPlanner different from other site analysis tools?

Accepted Answer

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.
