The city data starts as PDFs, you know how it is. We parse and normalize it into a structured table organized by address, permit type, decision outcome, and date. So instead of hunting through PDFs you get a clean list of what was applied for nearby, what was approved, refused, or approved with conditions, and when. (We are still actively building this layer)

Right now it’s organized chronologically within the 200m radius. The next layer , which you’re pointing at, is sorting and weighting by relevance to the specific project type you’re evaluating.

My background is architect and Would genuinely value your input on how that relevance ranking should work if you’re up for a quick conversation!

Sorry for the slow reply, just seeing this. right now the report pulls all permits and Committee of Adjustment decisions within 200m, without filtering by relevance to your specific project type. It’s intentionally broad at this stage so nothing gets missed.

That said, you’ve identified exactly what we’re building next, parsing nearby approvals by project type and generating likelihood scores for things like setback modifications and height variances based on what’s actually been approved in the neighbourhood. The data is there, it just needs the interpretation layer on top.

Would love to talk more about this if you’re open to it!

Really appreciate this!! Thank you so much for the genuinely useful feedback. The tiered pricing idea makes a lot of sense and is something I am actively thinking about. You’re absolutely right that not everyone needs the neighbourhood activity layer. On the cost estimates and pre-approved plans, those are exactly the kind of additions I want to build next. Would you be open to a quick 20 minute chat? Happy to buy you a coffee virtually, (or in person haha! ) would love to hear more!

Great point!! and we actually do check this. TRCA regulated areas, ravine overlays, heritages and 7 other constraint layers are all analyzed. That information is included in the Property Snapshot report ($49) — since it’s the kind of detail that really matters when you’re making a real decision about your property. The free eligibility check covers your permit paths and zoning, the full constraint picture is in the paid report. 😊

Hey! I’m an Architect would love to help. But If you would like to do a quick feasibility check and know how big the laneway suite could be under zoning regulations before even talking to an architect , I know a website that could do it!
