GIS for Design and Planning.

Geospatial tools and technologies are always changing. In the planning and design world this is especially true. Our services focus on making it simple for landscape architects, engineers, designers, and planners who needed to harness the power of the latest tools in a quick and efficient manner.

 

Geodesign

Geodesign is a framework that helps inform the decision making process while ensuring that all stakeholder voices are heard. It is a series of steps that prioritizes the will of the people that are involved when making design decisions.

Resiliency Planning

Building resiliency around communities is integral for survival. Proper planning is needed to ensure the built environment can withstand what nature has to throw at it.

Suitability Modelling

Suitability modelling involves using GIS tools to determine vulnerability or to find the best location for something. We have built tools that allow for these types of models to be built in a quick and efficient manner.

Geodesign

Geodesign is a framework or process for solving complex land use issues that have multiple stakeholders and systems involved. Geodesign uses geospatial technologies and other predictive models to help decision makers make informed decisions. The term “data-driven decisions” is quite common… geodesign differs in that it uses the values of the people of the place to drive the decision making process.
