A developer in a white kandura and an architect study a white site model, with the proposed building on its plot and one volume in teal, in a studio overlooking the city.

What is the strongest building for this plot?

Asset Intelligence tests massing, unit mix and yield inside the plot’s envelope, so the building that goes into design is the strongest one the plot allows.

The questions it answers

Five questions, answered on one evidence base.

  1. 01What does the plot’s envelope allow, and what does the market want?
  2. 02Which massing and unit mix give the best yield without losing place quality?
  3. 03How do daylight, views and access change between options?
  4. 04Is the option buildable within program and budget?
  5. 05What should the design brief carry forward?

How Hakken works on it

From the first reading of the evidence to a recorded decision.

  1. 01UnderstandRead the plot’s controls, daylight, views and market evidence before massing begins.
  2. 02GenerateGenerate massing and unit-mix options within the envelope the plot allows.
  3. 03EvaluateMeasure yield, place quality and buildability together, so one is never quietly traded away.
  4. 04DecideCarry the strongest option into design with its trade-offs recorded.
