Question 1

What is ArkiFit?

Accepted Answer

ArkiFit is a generative-feasibility platform that, from block-parcel information, produces a parcel's zoning data, buildout potential, floor-area (Emsal) usage, parking demand, approximate cost and a preliminary feasibility output in a single flow. The goal isn't just to display parcel data; it's to quickly analyze what kind of buildout scenario the land can support.

Question 2

Who is ArkiFit designed for?

Accepted Answer

ArkiFit is designed for architects, urban planners, real-estate developers, investors, landowners, contractors and project-development teams. Anyone who wants to see a parcel's acquirability, developability, approximate project capacity and investment potential at an early stage can use it.

Question 3

Does ArkiFit only show zoning status?

Accepted Answer

No. ArkiFit offers more than a classic zoning-lookup screen. Once it has the block-parcel data, it produces zoning rights, building conditions, floor-area (Emsal) potential, approximate storey count, unit estimate, parking demand, cost calculation and a schematic concept-design output together.

Question 4

What does generative feasibility mean?

Accepted Answer

Generative feasibility is the process of automatically generating buildout scenarios from a parcel's current zoning conditions. ArkiFit evaluates parcel area, setbacks, GCR/FAR (TAKS/KAKS), FAR rights, storey count, parking demand and cost assumptions together to produce preliminary feasibility scenarios that can ground an investment and project decision.

Question 5

What outputs are produced from one parcel query?

Accepted Answer

A parcel query can generate a parcel summary, zoning rights, area schedules, FAR check, buildout potential, floor distribution, unit estimate, parking demand, approximate cost, quantities, 2D plans, 3D view, assumptions and a PDF preliminary survey report. Report content can be selected, edited and exported by the user.

Question 6

What information is in the report?

Accepted Answer

The ArkiFit preliminary survey report includes core feasibility data such as parcel area, GCR/FAR (TAKS/KAKS), maximum footprint, total construction area, FAR area, FAR-excluded areas, basement/parking areas, storey count, unit estimate, parking demand and approximate construction cost. Area schedules, FAR schedules, concept-design area distributions, quantity assumptions and visual outputs can also be included.

Question 7

Does ArkiFit calculate FAR (Emsal) rights automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Based on the zoning conditions entered or pulled, ArkiFit calculates FAR rights, usable construction area and buildout potential. The system checks the FAR area used in the project scenario and helps the user see the parcel's potential more clearly.

Question 8

Can it generate a scenario that uses 100% of the FAR rights?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One of ArkiFit's core strengths is generating buildout scenarios that use FAR rights as efficiently as possible within the zoning conditions. By editing data such as massing, storey count, area distribution, unit assumptions and parking demand, the user can create different feasibility alternatives.

Question 9

Can the massing and building layout be edited?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The buildout scenario created in ArkiFit is editable. Building mass, floor distribution, area uses, unit assumptions and the core parameters affecting feasibility can be changed — so different project scenarios can be compared instead of a single result.

Question 10

Is parking demand calculated?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ArkiFit calculates approximate parking demand from unit count, use type and project assumptions. Open and covered parking demand can be assessed separately. This output provides important preliminary data for layout decisions and cost calculations.

Question 11

How is the approximate construction cost calculated?

Accepted Answer

The approximate cost is built from total construction area, the use scenario, unit costs per m², quantity assumptions and user-entered cost parameters. This calculation is a preliminary estimate for early-stage investment assessment. It does not replace a definitive bill of quantities, an implementation project or detailed quantity surveying.

Question 12

Can cost assumptions be changed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The user can edit the assumptions used in the cost calculation. Unit costs per m², area distributions, quantity items and the core parameters affecting the investment calculation can be changed, so different cost scenarios can be compared.

Question 13

Does it generate 2D plans and a 3D view?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Based on the parcel and zoning conditions, ArkiFit can create schematic 2D plans and a 3D massing view. These outputs are used to assess the parcel's potential visually at an early design stage. They do not replace a detailed architectural implementation project.

Question 14

Can I get a concept-design output?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ArkiFit can turn the generated buildout scenario into an output in schematic concept-design form. Together with massing, floor plan, area distribution and feasibility data, it gives the design process a starting point.

Question 15

Can I export CAD or DXF?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In suitable scenarios, ArkiFit outputs can be exported in CAD/DXF format, so an architect or project team can open the schematic scenario in a CAD environment and keep developing it.

Question 16

Can the report be downloaded as a PDF?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The preliminary survey report can be downloaded or printed as a PDF. The user can choose which sections to include. Summary, area schedules, FAR check, analyses, cost estimate, quantities, 2D/3D outputs and assumptions can each be added to or removed from the report.

Question 17

Can the report content be edited?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The ArkiFit report is editable. The user can change feasibility assumptions, cost values, area distributions and the headings to include — so the report can be regenerated for different investment or project scenarios.

Question 18

Where does the data come from?

Accepted Answer

Parcel and location data come from the relevant map, cadastre and integrated-query sources. Zoning data is evaluated through municipal integrations, plan data, user inputs and the analysis rules defined in the system. Data coverage may vary by city, district, municipality and integration status.

Question 19

Does it work in every municipality?

Accepted Answer

ArkiFit's data coverage may vary by municipality, district and integration status. In some areas zoning data can be pulled automatically; in others, user input or manual verification may be required. The platform aims to produce the soundest possible preliminary feasibility from the data it can access.

Question 20

Are the results official or legally binding?

Accepted Answer

No. ArkiFit outputs are informational preliminary-feasibility and decision-support outputs. For official zoning status, permits, municipal approval, architectural-project approval and implementation, the relevant municipality, competent authorities and project authors must be relied upon.

Question 21

Does ArkiFit prepare permit drawings?

Accepted Answer

No. ArkiFit is not a system that prepares permit or implementation projects. Its outputs are used for early-stage analysis, preliminary feasibility, schematic concept design and investment assessment. Permit and implementation projects must be prepared by licensed architects and engineers.

Question 22

How reliable are ArkiFit's results?

Accepted Answer

ArkiFit produces results from the data entered, the accessible zoning information, the system's calculation rules and the user's assumptions. Accuracy depends on the currency of the data source, municipal integration, the scope of plan notes and the assumptions the user enters. Outputs should therefore be used for preliminary assessment, not as an official decision.

Question 23

Are plan notes taken into account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Accessible plan notes can be included in the analysis. However, plan notes can be very detailed, open to interpretation or subject to special conditions across municipalities. For critical projects, we recommend that plan notes also be checked by a licensed architect, urban planner or the relevant authority.

Question 24

What projects can it be used for?

Accepted Answer

ArkiFit can be used for residential, commercial, mixed-use, land development, preliminary investment analysis, urban-renewal pre-assessment and project-development processes. It's especially suited to users who want to see potential buildout, cost and investment capacity before buying land.

Question 25

Can it be used before buying land?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ArkiFit can be used to build a fast preliminary feasibility before a land-purchase decision. A parcel's approximate building rights, construction area, parking demand, cost potential and project capacity can be seen early — so the investment decision can be made more consciously.

Question 26

Can multiple scenarios be compared?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The user can create multiple feasibility scenarios from different assumptions. For example, by trying different floor distributions, unit counts, cost values or area uses, the parcel's different development alternatives can be compared.

Question 27

Does ArkiFit replace the architect?

Accepted Answer

No. ArkiFit does not replace the architect; it's a tool that speeds up architectural decision-making and eases early-stage analysis. It reduces repetitive feasibility calculations for architects, makes project potential clearer for investors, and gives the development process strong starting data.

Question 28

How long does the first analysis take?

Accepted Answer

While it varies with data access and the parcel's region, ArkiFit aims to complete the path from parcel to preliminary feasibility within minutes. In a single flow, the user can reach parcel selection, zoning analysis, a buildout scenario, a cost estimate and a report output.

Question 29

Can users enter their own data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Data that can't be pulled automatically, or that the user wants to update, can be entered manually. Unit costs, area assumptions, unit values, project assumptions and some feasibility parameters can be edited by the user.

Question 30

What happens if data is wrong or missing?

Accepted Answer

In some areas data may be missing, out of date or closed to integration. In that case, ArkiFit produces a preliminary feasibility from the available data and user inputs. Before critical investment and project decisions, official checks and expert review are recommended.

Question 31

Is ArkiFit enough for an investment decision?

Accepted Answer

ArkiFit is a strong preliminary-feasibility tool that supports the investment decision, but it does not replace the final decision on its own. Land acquisition, the permit process, cost finalization, sales analysis, legal status and official zoning checks must be assessed separately.

Question 32

Can the report be shared with an investor or client?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The generated PDF report can be shared with an investor, client, architect, contractor or project-development team. It presents the parcel's potential, zoning rights, buildout scenario and approximate costs in a clear format.

Question 33

Is ArkiFit paid?

Accepted Answer

Query, report and advanced-output features may vary by the plan you choose. Different usage plans can be offered for different needs through a free trial, single query or professional use.

Question 34

Is enterprise use possible?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ArkiFit suits enterprise use for architecture offices, real-estate development firms, investment teams, construction companies and portfolio-managing organizations. It speeds up multi-parcel analysis, team use, report standardization and project-development processes.
