Residential development site selection

Illustrative workflow comparing potential residential locations using accessibility, terrain and infrastructure criteria.

This is an illustrative case study demonstrating GEOINTEL LAND methodology. It does not describe a specific client engagement.

The challenge

A developer needed to compare three candidate parcels for a mid-density residential scheme before committing to land acquisition.

Approach

  • Mapped road access and travel time to the nearest urban centre
  • Screened slope and drainage from terrain data
  • Reviewed proximity to water, power and social infrastructure
  • Scored each site using weighted multi-criteria analysis

Result

The comparison highlighted one parcel with clearly better access and fewer drainage constraints, allowing the client to focus due diligence on a single site.
