TestFit

TestFit is a tool designed for rapid feasibility testing of multifamily residential projects. Instead of investing weeks in preparing a manual initial plan, the tool generates site and building layouts within minutes that account for real constraints like land zoning, required parking spots, and allowed building lines. This makes it possible to quickly evaluate dozens of different scenarios for the same lot and compare them.

The tool is mainly aimed at architects and real estate developers who need to decide whether a given lot is financially worthwhile before starting expensive, detailed planning. Pricing is quote-based according to organization size, so a small firm and a large corporation pay according to their scope of use. The main use is at the very earliest stage of decision-making, before purchasing land or submitting a permit application.

Because pricing is quote-only and not published on the site, it’s hard to know in advance what the actual cost will be for a small firm. Also, the tool focuses mainly on feasibility testing and general layout, and doesn’t replace detailed architectural planning at later stages. It’s also worth remembering that the output is based on zoning and parking data entered into the system, so its accuracy depends on how up to date the local planning information is.
