Why We Added Site Plans
Builders told us they were spending hundreds of dollars and waiting days for preliminary site plans. We built Site Plans into FutureLot so you can turn the work you’ve already done into a clean, professional plan in just a few clicks, without leaving the platform.
When builders started telling us they were paying several hundred dollars just to generate a preliminary site plan, we knew the workflow inside FutureLot needed to go a step further.
The problem was not that builders lacked the information. In many cases, they had already done the hard part inside FutureLot: checking the zoning, reviewing the lot, sketching the structure, and identifying the relevant setbacks and constraints. The missing piece was turning that work into a clean, shareable site plan without starting over in another tool or sending it out to someone else.
Do that across dozens of projects a year and it adds up quickly, not just in cost, but in lost momentum too.
So we built Site Plans directly into the same workflow you're already using. No handoff, no separate login, no invoice from a third party. You generate the report and a few clicks later you've got a clean, professional Site Plan ready to send.
What's included:
You control the paper size and scale, so it works whether you're printing for a town meeting or dropping a PDF into an email. You pick which GIS layers and site elements show up, so the plan only shows what's relevant to the conversation you're having. Anything you've marked up or annotated on the lot carries over automatically, so you're not redoing work you already did.
We also pull in the details that used to eat up the most time: dimensions, distances, setbacks, and parcel information, all filled in automatically from the map. Your branding is on it too, because it's going in front of a homeowner or a town official and it should look like it came from you, not from a template.
Where it really pays off:
The real value shows up in the room with the homeowner. A polished Site Plan signals that you know what you're doing before the conversation even starts. It gives homeowners something concrete to react to instead of just a brochure or verbal pitch, which means better feedback, faster buy-in, and fewer surprises down the line. And when you're presenting to a town or coordinating with stakeholders, having setbacks and constraints laid out clearly upfront cuts down on the back and forth that usually eats into your timeline.
Site Plans are included in your subscription, unlimited, and ready whenever you are. Not a subscriber yet? You still can try free on three properties.
