SiteBase US Parcel Base Plan Generator
Enter an address and automatically generate a professional site base plan with parcel lines, contours, and flood zones
- Problem
- Landscape architects and other professionals manually collect parcel lines, LiDAR contours, flood zones, wetlands, and soils data, which is tedious and time-consuming. Existing tools have fragmented data and inconsistent formats.
- Solution
- A web tool: users enter a US address, and it automatically aggregates public GIS data to generate downloadable site base plans in DXF, SketchUp, GIS, and PDF formats, including parcel lines, contours, flood zones, wetlands, soils, and aerial imagery.
- Users
- Small landscape architecture firms, civil engineers, and real estate developers in the US
- MVP
- Query parcel and contour data by address; generate PDF/DXF with parcel lines, contours, and aerial imagery; cover major states; provide simple editing and export
- Revenue
- Pay-per-download or monthly subscription, with batch processing and premium data layers
- Why now
- Public GIS data is increasingly abundant, and indie developers can integrate data sources to offer vertical tools; existing open-source projects validate the demand
