How It Works

One platform, from land sourcing to approval-ready.

The program starts at the very beginning of a project, when you’re still deciding whether a piece of land is worth pursuing.

1

Municipal data, in one place

Zoning, topography, setbacks, service locations, and other local building requirements are pulled together from municipal data. No other program consolidates it like this.

2

Matched against the IGV design library

Site data is combined with the IGV Housing model and our library of designs that are already approved and ready to go, checking suitability against real, buildable plans, not blank-page concepts.

3

A clear feasibility ranking

Compare multiple sites at once and see which is most likely to move smoothly through approvals, before you’ve committed to land or a design team.

First of its kind

This hasn’t been done before.

Every municipality sets its own rules: zoning, setbacks, servicing, building requirements. Today, developers piece that picture together manually, one jurisdiction at a time.

IGV’s platform is the first to combine that fragmented municipal data with a library of pre-existing, already-approved design plans, so a site isn’t just measured against generic rules. It’s measured against designs a municipality has already said yes to.

  • Every municipality’s requirements pulled into one assessment
  • Checked against IGV designs already approved and ready to go
  • Multiple candidate sites compared side by side
1 Site A — 412 Cedar Rd Best Fit
2 Site B — 88 Alder St Good Fit
3 Site C — 205 Birch Ave Needs Review
Why It Matters

Less time and money spent finding out “no.”

Faster site decisions

Know whether a site is suitable before months are spent on design and engineering.

Lower upfront design costs

Reduce the share of project budget spent before feasibility is even confirmed.

Smoother path to approval

Move forward with designs a municipality is already positioned to approve.

More affordable housing

Time and cost saved at the front end helps bring more attainable housing to market.
