Canibuild Platform

Canibuild: From “Can I?” to “Here’s how.”

Canibuild is an AI-powered site planning and compliance platform that simplifies and de-risks the ‘Citizen Builder’ process. Whether you’re a homeowner wondering what’s possible on your lot, a REALTOR® guiding clients through development options, or a buyer/investor evaluating a property’s upside, Canibuild delivers zoning-aware compliance checks, fast site plans, 3D visualizations, and cost projections—plus connections to trusted partners. Instead of weeks of back-and-forth (and thousands in consulting fees), you get early answers in minutes.
