TestFit Launches Free Massing Tool Democratizing Access to Urban Planning
Dallas, Texas – March 20, 2024 – TestFit, the leading real estate feasibility platform, announced the launch of Urban Planner to streamline large-scale urban planning with customizable massing tools, including road layout, zoning setbacks, design schemes, and more.
“We need to live our mission and that means looking at the whole world of buildings, all of architecture, not just a few deep verticals, like multi-family and industrial,” Clifton Harness, CEO and Co-Founder of TestFit emphasized. “Urban Planner is giving back to the architecture industry while expanding to more building types, building what the world needs faster.”
Urban Planner allows architects and urban planners to create quick massing plans of all sizes from single-block mixed-use developments to multi-block city plans. Some of TestFit’s most powerful and unique features are included in this free massing tool, cutting the feasibility process by 75%. These include:
- Customizable road layouts: Create road networks with automated intersection generation and dynamic street editing.
- Zoning setbacks: Model angle-plane and form-based setbacks based on user-input parameters.
- Design schemes: Create and save different scenarios to find the best site solution possible.
- Real-time tabulation: Find automatic quantity takeoffs and financial data from parking ratio, FAR to yield on cost.
"The true value of Urban Planner lies in its ability to save time and costs early on," says Laura Paciano, SVP of Growth at TestFit. “With our massing tools, architects and urban planners can spend more time experimenting with more design schemes, helping their clients find the best design possible.”
It’s time to democratize access to planning tools like TestFit so that more designers can use them to optimize their feasibility studies. With Urban Planner, TestFit is one step closer to living its full mission, serving all communities and markets with better city planning.
