Constraint Analysis for Buildable Land
Quickly identify where you can build—and why
Overview
Integrate all relevant spatial constraints (zoning, easements, habitat, slope, flood, etc.) with advanced geoprocessing to define 'go/no-go' areas. Automated analysis with field-ready maps and detailed acreage reports.

System Architecture
Parallel data acquisition architecture with MCP planning agent, constraint overlay processing, and automated report generation with suitability scoring.
⚙️Key Components
Analyzes project requirements and creates optimized data acquisition plan
Simultaneous API calls to 5+ data sources for 10x faster execution
Spatial intersections, buffer analysis, and constraint overlays
Elevation analysis, slope calculations, and terrain modeling
Multi-layer analysis with weighted scoring for buildability
Natural language summary of findings with GO/NO-GO recommendations

Automated MCP Agent Workflow
Powered by n8n, Make.com, and Model Context Protocol agents
New project area/parcel list submitted via API or file upload
“Given this project boundary in [County, State] for [use type: residential/solar/commercial], list all spatial constraints needed for buildable land analysis including: zoning overlays, flood zones, wetlands, slope thresholds, setback requirements, environmental habitats, easements, and archaeological sites. Prioritize by regulatory impact.”
“Analyze the geoprocessing results for this parcel. Total area: 8.2 acres. Constraints: 1.5 acres wetland buffer, 0.6 acres steep slope >15%. Buildable area: 6.1 acres. Summarize findings and suggest development strategies to maximize buildable area while maintaining compliance.”

Real-World Results
Challenge
Evaluating 200 parcels for multi-family development. Manual analysis: 40 hrs/site × $150/hr = $6,000/site × 200 = $1.2M. 2-4 week turnaround per site.
Our Solution
Make.com workflow with 20 modules: geocode addresses, fetch 8 constraint layers via APIs, run PostGIS spatial analysis (buffers, intersects, ST_Difference), calculate buildable acreage, use Azure OpenAI to generate summaries, output PDF reports and interactive webmaps.
