Too few options
One concept cannot show the trade-off between yield, efficiency, planning pathway and delivery risk.
Model & evaluate
Generate viable schemes before choosing one.
Turn site constraints and program targets into configurable development scenarios, then see how capacity, unit mix, efficiency and planning compliance change together.

The option problem
One early drawing can anchor the entire decision too soon.
Development teams often wait for a single concept, then optimize around it before seeing whether a different program or planning path would produce a stronger case.

Changes require rework
A different unit mix or setback can trigger new drawings, quantities and financial updates.
The plan is disconnected
Physical changes are not consistently reflected in cost, revenue and comparison metrics.
Connected scenario generation
Explore the development space, not only a maximum envelope.
Each scenario retains its physical program, compliance basis, quantities and decision assumptions.
Set the site controls
Apply parcel geometry, access, setbacks, height, density, parking and open-space rules.
Define the program
Set target use, unit mix, amenity, efficiency, parking and phasing requirements.
Generate alternatives
Create as-of-right, optimized, alternate-program and rezoning-upside cases.
Compare trade-offs
Review capacity, compliance, efficiency, cost, return and risk across the options.
Scheme selection
Choose the plan that creates the strongest complete case.
The highest unit count does not automatically become the preferred scenario. Efficiency, planning certainty and economic resilience remain visible.

What the team receives
A usable decision output—not another disconnected report.
Every result stays connected to the opportunity, the assumptions behind it and the workflow that comes next.
Scenario set
Keep the credible alternatives rather than replacing each drawing with the next.
Program schedule
Track area, unit mix, capacity, parking and efficiency for each scheme.
Compliance view
Show which controls pass, which require interpretation and which need approval.
Connected quantities
Carry scenario quantities into cost, revenue, underwriting and comparison.

Test-Fit FAQ
Questions development teams ask.
Does Test-Fit replace the architect?+
No. It helps teams explore and compare early development options before detailed architectural work begins.
Can we test a rezoning case?+
Yes. As-of-right and discretionary scenarios can be kept separate so the upside and approval dependency remain visible.
Do financials update when a scenario changes?+
Connected quantities can flow into scenario-level cost, revenue and return assumptions for comparison.
