How it works One spine · five steps
One conversation, five steps. The app keeps count.
Every session walks the same spine. Each step ends with one forward action, and nothing unlocks before it's ready — so a rep always knows where they are and what comes next.

The plan snaps to setbacks; every rule is re-checked as you drag, with a remedy for anything that fails.
04 · SUN
Study the sun
Shadows across the day and year, neighbour overshadowing, and light inside the home.

The product
Verdicts, not vibes. Every answer is measurable.
Live compliance
Every check comes with a verdict — and a remedy.
Cadastral doesn't just flag a breach, it tells you exactly how big it is and exactly how to fix it. "Too deep by 0.41 m — slide 1.73 m south to clear." One tap applies the fix, and the whole checklist re-runs. Honest numbers a rep can say out loud to a customer.

Size drives everything
Change the size, and the whole model moves with it.
A selection is a design and a size — never a design alone. Switch the Wexley from 26 to 24 and Cadastral swaps the footprint, re-sites it from the same corner, re-runs every rule, re-prices, and tells you exactly what you gained and lost. In one line, while the customer watches.

Sun studies
Show them winter light before they sign, not after they move in.
Scrub through the day and the seasons. Three views answer the three questions every buyer has: where the shadows fall, whether the home overshadows a neighbour, and how much light lands in the living room. Cadastral flags an overshadowing breach the moment it happens.

Under the hood Scheme text → parcel
Every council planning scheme in Australia, read and resolved to the parcel.
This is the hard part, and it's the part we automated. Cadastral ingests state planning provisions and every council scheme underneath them, extracts the rules that govern a build, and resolves them down to the individual lot — so the setback your rep sees is the setback that applies at that address, not a state-wide average.
The rule engine
A planning scheme is a document. We turn it into a number.
Planning rules live in thousands of pages of scheme text, amendments and overlay schedules — which is why siting has always needed a person. Cadastral reads them: language models extract each provision into a structured, testable rule, our planners review it, and the rule is then resolved against the parcel's zone, overlays and dimensions. The clause becomes "≥ 1.0 m at this address." Every verdict carries the clause it came from.

Plan import
Your whole catalogue, live in an afternoon.
The reason siting tools never get adopted is onboarding: forty designs sitting in PDFs that someone has to redraw. Cadastral reads them instead. Drop in a plan and it comes back traced, scaled, walls and openings identified, ready to site — you review and publish rather than draft. What used to be a quarter of drafting time is an afternoon of approvals.

AI & assurance
AI automations where it's safe. Deterministic where it counts.
AI takes the admin out of the way — reading scheme text, tracing floor plans and searching thousands of placements in seconds, work that used to take drafting days. The compliance engine then evaluates every rule geometrically and cites the clause, so the speed comes with an answer you can defend: same block, same home, same answer, whoever is holding the laptop.

Rules-based compliance engine
Deterministic · cited
- ✓Pass or fail is evaluated, never inferred
- ✓Every rule is planner-reviewed before a rep sees it
- ✓Setbacks, coverage and sun angles are computed geometrically
- ✓Price comes straight from your costing matrix, untouched
- ✓No verdict without a cited clause
A rep should never have to say "the computer thinks so." Tap any verdict and you get the clause, the scheme and the amendment date behind it — so it survives the customer's next question, and drafting's review.
For your catalogue team
Your catalogue, your rules, your prices.

- ✓Designs, sizes & façades with drafts and review
- ✓Floor plan import — read, traced and to scale
- ✓Serviced areas by suburb & postcode
- ✓Option packs & categories, per design

The outcome
Built for the metrics you actually own.
Cadastral is for sales directors who measure first-appointment close rate. If your team can answer the customer's next question before the customer's next coffee, your numbers move.

+ 0 %

Callbacks to drafting for siting checks.
ILLUSTRATIVE · BASED ON EARLY PILOT ESTIMATES
"The siting question used to end the appointment. Now it's the moment we win it — we move the plan, the price follows, and nobody has to call drafting."
Who it's for
Built for the sales floor. Not a replacement for your back office.
Cadastral is for builders doing knock-down rebuilds, extensions, renovations and house-and-land — whether that's twenty homes a year or three hundred. It gives your first point of contact the knowledge your architect, draftsperson, estimator and surveyor already hold.
So the customer gets an answer today instead of an appointment next week. It runs on your existing catalogue, costing rules and CRM. You don't need an IT department, and your reps don't need CAD.
