About
Canibuild is the leading AI-powered site planning and feasibility platform designed for residential construction professionals, property owners, and government agencies. It answers construction's most critical question — "Can I build here?" — in seconds, removing the need for costly site visits or manual research before a project even begins. At the core of the platform is SiteCheck, which enables instant parcel searches across registered and unregistered lots, delivering automated zoning rules, setback requirements, contour data, aerial imagery, and permit-ready intelligence in one unified dashboard. Builders can instantly determine site suitability, position structures on the property, and generate quotes — all during an initial client call. Canibuild also offers LeadConverter to help sales teams close more deals using siting and quoting tools, and Brik for design exploration. The platform's real-time 3D visualization lets homeowners and builders collaboratively explore placement and design options on their exact parcel before committing to any investment. For government agencies, Canibuild simplifies inquiry reviews, validates site constraints, and accelerates submission processing. Trusted by top builders including GJ Gardner Homes, SnapADU, Kurmond Homes, and Narellan Pools, Canibuild has processed over 4.2 million site assessments and is available in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. It is purpose-built for the construction industry and requires no technical expertise to use.
