Advancing housing equity across every urban typology
Solutions
Instantly evaluate any parcel for ADU eligibility, setback requirements, height limits, and missing-middle zoning compatibility — across hundreds of municipal by-law databases simultaneously.
Land UseModel total development costs, rent-to-own thresholds, subsidy stacking, and long-term affordability covenants — with scenario analysis covering financing, construction, and ongoing operations.
FinanceGenerate optimised site layouts for tiny house communities, co-housing clusters, and infill developments — balancing unit density, shared amenities, green space, and walkability scores.
Urban DesignTrack permit applications in real time, auto-generate submission packages, and flag regulatory blockers before they stall a project — with a full timeline from pre-application to occupancy permit.
PermittingMeasure embodied carbon, operational energy use, and lifecycle costs across every unit — with automated reporting for LEED, Passive House, and municipal green building incentive programs.
SustainabilityMatch applicants to units based on income band, household size, accessibility needs, and proximity to employment — with transparent waitlist management and automated eligibility verification.
CommunityHow It Works
TinyBloc integrates directly with municipal GIS systems, building registries, and housing authorities — providing a single source of truth from site selection through long-term occupancy monitoring.
Connect any address or parcel ID to instantly surface zoning classification, lot size constraints, utility access, transit proximity, and neighbourhood affordability context — no manual GIS work required.
Generate compliant design templates, model financing structures, and auto-assemble permit packages — with purpose-built tools that understand municipal variance processes, heritage overlays, and inclusionary zoning obligations.
Track construction milestones, place residents using needs-matched criteria, and monitor long-term affordability covenant compliance — with full audit trails ready for municipal reporting and grant accountability.
Platform features
Pre-engineered accessory dwelling unit plans sized for laneway lots, garage conversions, and backyard infill — compliant with major Canadian and US building codes out of the box.
Navigate duplex, triplex, four-plex, and townhouse zoning rules across jurisdictions — with automatic variance flagging and pre-consultation checklists for planning departments.
Structure shared-equity, rent-to-own, and community land trust agreements with built-in legal templates and affordability covenant monitoring over 10, 20, and 99-year terms.
Estimate embodied and operational carbon at the design stage — with material substitution recommendations and integration with Canada's CleanBC and federal green building incentives.
File permit applications for entire tiny house clusters in a single coordinated submission — reducing approval timelines and eliminating repetitive documentation for municipalities and developers alike.
Auto-check designs against AODA, ADA, and universal design standards — with accessible unit quotas, turning radius checks, and aging-in-place retrofit pathways built into every layout.
Run neighbourhood consultations, collect feedback on design options, and document public input — with outputs structured for planning board submissions and environmental assessment filings.
