Phase 2 of 5: Develop

See what the plot can take before you draw.

A plot's development potential is set out in the zoning plans, and those plans are scattered across many sources. Here is what you need to check before you run the numbers on a plot.

Used where decisions really matter

The questions that need answers

Before you develop: where to find the answers

Each question has one place in Placepoint where you find the answer, with the source shown.

Which plan applies, and what does it allow?

The Zoning tab

The municipal plan and zoning plans that cover the property, with purpose, plan id and a link to the plan document at the municipality. The plan can be drawn on the map with each vertical level shown separately.

Source: Municipal plan registers

What sequencing requirements and consideration zones apply?

Map layers for zoning and consideration zones

Consideration zones appear as map layers over the plot, so you can see the constraints before you draw. The sequencing requirements are in the plan provisions, which the panel links to at the municipality.

Source: Municipal plan registers

The map layer selector with zoning and special consideration zone layers

How much can you build, and how will it affect the neighbours?

3D tool and Plot Valuation

See shadow and daylight hour by hour in 3D, and compare it with the utilization the plan allows.

Source: Building models from Kartverket and Placepoint calculations

The Plot Valuation tab with utilization and potential

What do ground conditions, quick clay and flood risk mean for the plot?

The risk map layers

Quick clay, landslide and flood risk layer by layer. The property panel marks the zones the plot actually falls within.

Source: NVE and NGU

Which cases is the municipality processing in the area now?

Case records

We read the municipality's public records journals and link them to each property, so you can see what the neighbours have applied for and how the municipality has replied.

Source: Public records journals from over 330 municipalities, over 20 million documents

The case records tab with documents for each case

How to do it

From first search to development

Five steps, as they look in Fusion. The screenshots show the feature, not the customer's own data.

The data

The sources behind the answers

Zoning plans come from the municipalities, risk data from NVE and NGU, and buildings from Kartverket. Every layer shows its source and date.

The same answer in Claude, Copilot or ChatGPT

Placepoint AI gives your AI tool the same data as Fusion, with the source for each field. Three questions from this phase, and what you get back.

What is the plot zoned for, and which consideration zones affect it?

You getPurpose, utilization and consideration zones in plain language, with a link to the plan.

What customers say

How they use it in this phase

“Placepoint is simply our most important tool. It gives us instant access to site data, zoning and market insight that used to take days to dig up. When we assess new projects, Placepoint is the first thing we open.”
