For development teams
Make the right site decision before you commit.
GroundUp helps repeat residential developers understand what can be built, which factories are viable, how yield and preliminary economics change, and what still requires verification.
Address to strongest scenario
Give GroundUp an address. See which project scenario works best.
GroundUp tests viable project scenarios against your stated goals, known constraints, preliminary economics, and required verification. The selected scenario is then captured in a Development Project Package (DPP).
Outcome
Selected project scenario
- Preferred orientation
- Model mix
- Projected yield
- Preliminary economics
Viable alternatives, assumptions, sources, and required verification remain visible.
Development Project Package (DPP)
Selection integrity
Neutral factory and model selection—by design.
Recommendations are based on project fit—not paid placement.
When GroundUp surfaces a preferred factory or model, the recommendation is tied to the stated goals and known constraints of the project—not commercial preference.
- Yield
- Preliminary economics
- Logistics
- Capability fit
Evidence, assumptions, and required professional or factory verification remain visible in the Development Project Package.
Every constraint, computed together
GroundUp brings Local Rules, Site, Market & Economics, and Factory constraints into one project model before selecting the strongest executable scenario.

Development Project Package (DPP)
Predevelopment workflow comparison
One project should not require a dozen translations.
The real difference is whether site, factory, economics, and decisions stay connected from the first screen to the Development Project Package.
01 · Repeated handoffs
Traditional predevelopment
Each specialist rebuilds the project in the format their work requires. Facts drift, assumptions disappear, and factory reality arrives late.
02 · One connected record

Site truth
Project intent

Development Project Package
The selected scenario becomes a structured output that keeps the project’s evidence, constraints, viable options, assumptions, and decisions connected for the next decision.
03 · Isolated outputs
Point tools & generic AI
Individual analyses move faster, but disconnected outputs still leave the development team responsible for reconciling facts and assumptions.
Start where the decision lives
GroundUp works from the information your team actually has today—not an idealized starting point.
A buy box
Structure geography, project type, scale, delivery method, capital, timing, and operating constraints before sourcing sites.
A known site
Connect site evidence, jurisdiction questions, intended program, factory capability, logistics, yield, and preliminary economics.
An active project
Create a versioned shared record so each specialist works from the same evidence, assumptions, decisions, and open risks.
Built for repeat residential projects
The wedge is repeatability and factory alignment—not one state or one housing format.
Build-to-rent & subdivisions
Test repeatable home products, site rhythm, logistics, phasing, yield, and project economics together.
Multifamily
Bring site constraints, program, structural system, module logic, and factory reality into one early scenario.
Workforce & affordable
Make constraints, product options, delivery assumptions, and verification needs explicit for capital and public partners.
Modular, manufactured & CrossMod
Evaluate real products and factory constraints during the site decision—not after a generic design has hardened.
One record for the development side
Role-specific views come from the same Development Project Package.
VP / Director of Development
See the next decision, the evidence behind it, and the unresolved risk before committing capital.
Acquisitions & land
Run a tighter first screen and reserve consultant spend for sites that fit the thesis.
Design & preconstruction
Begin with traceable site information, program intent, and real factory constraints.
Capital & project partners
Understand the development thesis, assumptions, economics, dependencies, and verification path.
Founder-led pilot
Bring the development decision you need to make next.
Start with a site, buy box, or active project, and talk directly with the founders.
