Local requirements
01Zoning, applicable development rules, and questions for the jurisdiction.
How it works
From a site to a project you can move forward.
Follow the Goodwin Road example from site screening and conceptual planning to a project packet for manufacturer review. See the available evidence and the questions still to resolve.
Goodwin Road: illustrative project walkthrough
Conceptual information, not an approved development or accepted order.
Start with the site, what you want to build, and any plans or factory preferences you already have.
Screen the site
Check site and factory fit together.
Review the parcel, relevant development requirements, and candidate products. See what the available sources support and which site, utility, or manufacturer questions still need confirmation.
Fit the plan
Compare the layout and preliminary economics.
Test how home products and site constraints affect the conceptual plan and proposed yield. Review the estimate’s data sources, cost scope, and any developer-specific inputs alongside the layout.
Hand off the package
Move the project into manufacturer review.
Bring the selected concept, quantities, preliminary estimates, and open questions into a Development Project Packet (DPP). Use it to request fit feedback, resolve requirements, and advance pricing discussions.
What shapes the project
A change in one area can change the layout, factory options, or economics. GroundUp considers them together.
Site conditions
02Parcel geometry, physical constraints, access, and available utility information.
Economics
03Permit data, local market and economic data, factory pricing, and developer-provided inputs.
Factory requirements
04Products, plant capabilities, service areas, delivery needs, and current project preferences.
Know what supports the result, and what comes next
Sources, assumptions, and open questions stay with the project. Your project team, the relevant jurisdiction, and the manufacturer confirm the design, approvals, pricing, and production requirements before later commitments.
Examples stay labeled as conceptual. GroundUp does not automate professional stamps, permit approvals, city calls, funding arrangements, or production acceptance.
