For Architects

Generate planning concepts in hours, not weeks

Automatic placement of buildings, schools, and kindergartens with standards checks and real-time KPI calculation

Problem

Too many iterations and late checks

Teams deliver a concept, then discover it fails sunlight or standards checks. Work restarts from scratch, deadlines slip, and proposal quality drops

Solution

UrbanSketch validates concepts as you design

The platform generates compliant massing options, checks standards and sunlight instantly, and gives a ready baseline for detailed CAD work

UrbanSketch.pro capabilities

Complete workflow from site import to validated concept with KPI and apartment mix outputs

Module 1

Site Boundaries

Import XML and DXF cadastral data files - the platform automatically creates site boundaries. Manage zoning: assign areas for kindergartens, schools, parking, and other facilities directly on the map.

✓ XML and DXF import with local coordinate system support
✓ Automatic boundary construction from cadastral data
✓ Flexible zone assignment: social facilities, parking, development
✓ Site subdivision by road network
