Digital Terrain Modelling / Module 03 — Real estate planning

Estate Layout

From bare land to a scheme you can price. Generate a plot layout that respects your setbacks, your road widths and the site's own topography.

/ What it does

Fit plots and internal roads to a surveyed boundary, on your own terrain model.

/ Capabilities

Built for the real job.

01

Terrain-aware plotting

Fit one standard plot size to the surveyed boundary, placing a plot only where the whole plot sits on developable ground. Residual land is reported, not hidden.

02

Road grid

Local access and collector roads on a double-loaded grid, with their reserves measured.

03

Natural drainage reserve

The watercourse and ponding found by routing flow over your own terrain model, buffered and kept clear of plots.

04

Yield schedule

Plot count, saleable area, road reserve, drainage reserve and residual land — as a workbook and on the drawing.

Indicative sample — a simplified calculator, not the module. The module runs on your own data, and the figures and standards it applies are the ones you enter.

/ Workflow

Four steps, start to drawing.

  1. 01Bring in the survey, or a cadastral plan if you already have one.
  2. 02Enter the plot size, road widths and setback.
  3. 03Generate the layout.
  4. 04Export the layout plan, the plot schedule and the road schedule.

/ Professional responsibility

BESPA Expert Systems is suitable for the preliminary design and feasibility study phase of civil infrastructure projects. Outputs are engineering aids, not certified designs: a qualified professional engineer must check and sign off any output before it is issued for construction. This is a preliminary planning layout, not a cadastral or construction-issue plan: the plot areas it reports must not be used for sale, title or planning approval without a licensed surveyor’s own survey. The plot size, road widths and setback are the ones you enter — planning defaults, not regulation.
