[Platform — GIS layers]

GIS layers, netted against every parcel

Wetlands, flood zones, slope, soils, sewer and transmission lines, protected areas, future land use and a library that keeps growing, each one drawn on the parcel and subtracted from the acreage, so the first look already shows what is buildable.

What it does

On the parcel, on the first look.

01

Netted, not just drawn

Each layer is intersected with the parcel and taken out of the gross acreage. Net buildable is a number on the first look, not a question for a civil engineer later.

02

Utilities on the first look

Sewer lines, sewersheds, water and transmission corridors, so whether there is service at the frontage is answered before the call to the county.

03

A library that keeps growing

Environmental, soils and terrain, utilities, land use, demographics and risk layers, nationwide, with new datasets added as teams ask for them.

What's inside

Every study includes

  • Wetlands (NWI) and FEMA flood hazard zones
  • Slope heat map, contours, hydric soils, drainage and farmland class
  • Sewer lines, national sewersheds, water and transmission lines
  • Protected areas (PADUS), future land use, zoning conflict
  • Opportunity zones, qualified census tracts, school districts
  • Traffic counts, transportation noise, bus and rail routes
  • Wildfire, earthquake, endangered species and brownfield risk
Beyond the study

The study is where we start, not where we stop.

Most land software ends at the feasibility study. Algoma's team picks it up from there: site plan packages in days, design packages in weeks, and development through construction.

FAQ

Questions teams ask.

Wetlands, FEMA flood zones, slope and contours, hydric soils, drainage and farmland class, sewer and transmission lines, protected areas, future land use, opportunity zones, qualified census tracts, school districts, traffic and noise, transit routes, and wildfire, earthquake, species and brownfield risk. The list keeps growing.
No. The layers are part of one Algoma seat, nationwide, with no per-market data licensing.
A map shows a wetland near the site. Algoma intersects the wetland with the parcel boundary, reports the acres it takes, and subtracts them from the buildable area that the capacity study then uses.
Tell us. Layers are added as teams ask for them, and the library is national, so a dataset added for one market is available in all of them.

Bring a parcel. We'll net it out.

Every layer against a site you choose, the acreage each one takes, and what is left to build on.
