The platform
Six modules. One operating layer.
BuildBlox is built around the actual workflow of housing delivery — from screening a parcel to coordinating a manufacturer. Each module ships on its own and connects to the next.
The platform
One connected workflow, six precise capabilities.
Each module stands on its own and connects to the next. Together they replace the patchwork of GIS portals, spreadsheets, design files, and email chains that housing delivery runs on today.
Lot Locator
Search any address. See parcel geometry, zoning, lane access, tree retention, and infill potential — without leaving the browser.
Design Library
A curated catalogue of laneway, multiplex, and infill designs — each tagged with zoning fit, energy step code, BOM, and turnkey estimate.
Feasibility Engine
Lot-by-design feasibility scoring across zoning, setbacks, servicing, slope, tree retention, and unit yield.
Pre-Development Builder
Generate a structured pre-development package — site, design, costing, energy, and approvals readiness — in one document.
BuildBlox ERP
From quote to BOM to shop floor or site — connect standardized housing designs to procurement, sequencing, and delivery. Delivered in partnership with Liquid.
Carbon, Energy & Sustainability
Embodied carbon, operational energy, and step-code compliance — calculated from the design and BOM, not estimated after the fact.

A quick walk-through of the workflow — parcel to design to project package.
Lot Locator — find sites worth pursuing
Parcel-level intelligence layered over municipal zoning, lot geometry, lane access, slope, servicing, and protected vegetation. Filter by laneway eligibility, multiplex potential, or modular fit, and save target lots into a working pipeline.
Who it helps
Developers screening neighbourhoods. Agents finding hidden development potential for homeowners.
Why it matters
Most viable sites are missed because feasibility lives in PDFs, GIS portals, and tribal knowledge. BuildBlox surfaces it in one workspace.
Example output
Design Library — repeatable housing, ready to deploy
Designs come from vetted architects and modular partners. Each design carries machine-readable specs: dimensions, structural system, energy performance, BOM, lead time, and assembly type (panelized, volumetric, hybrid).
Who it helps
Developers comparing options on a site. Manufacturers exposing their standardized SKUs.
Why it matters
Repeatable designs are the fastest path to faster approvals, cleaner estimating, and lower soft costs.
Example output
A standardized panelized Part 3 multi-family design from the BC Housing DASH catalogue — representative of the repeatable designs in the BuildBlox library. Open it to see how an engagement with BuildBlox starts.

Rule-based scoring tuned to municipal bylaws, with transparent weightings. Outputs a site report that stakeholders can read, defend, and act on.
Who it helps
Developers triaging sites. Agents qualifying leads. GCs sanity-checking scope before bidding.
Why it matters
Replaces back-of-envelope feasibility with a structured, auditable model.
Example output
Pre-Development Package Builder
Pulls from the active project to assemble a stakeholder-ready package: site report, selected design, BOM, costing, energy compliance, and timeline. Export to PDF or share live with collaborators.
Who it helps
Developers building investment packages. Builders submitting permit applications. Agents converting interest into commitment.
Why it matters
Pre-development is where housing projects die. BuildBlox replaces weeks of assembly with a structured workflow.
Example output
BuildBlox ERP — built for housing builders, on site or offsite
BuildBlox ERP is delivered in partnership with Liquid (thinkliquid.ca) and tailored specifically to housing builders — whether you build on site, in a factory, or hybrid. Track quotes, BOMs, supplier lead times, shop or site scheduling, and delivery, all tied to the standardized designs you actually build.
Who it helps
Housing builders working on site or offsite. Panelized and volumetric manufacturers. GCs coordinating multiple suppliers.
Why it matters
Housing delivery breaks on coordination, not capacity. BuildBlox keeps the design, BOM, procurement, and schedule in one connected workflow.
Example output
BuildBlox ERP is delivered with Liquid — an operations platform tailored to the way housing builders actually work, whether on the jobsite or on a panel line.

Each design carries an embodied carbon profile and an operational energy model. BuildBlox surfaces step-code compliance, energy performance, and carbon outcomes at the lot-design level — before the project breaks ground.
Who it helps
Developers responding to ESG mandates. Public buyers procuring low-carbon housing. Manufacturers proving performance.
Why it matters
Carbon and energy reporting is moving from voluntary to required. BuildBlox makes it native to the workflow.
