Check your whole house range against a block in seconds.

Upload a spreadsheet of your designs' sizes. GoSiteHunt checks every design against the block's planning rules and shows which ones work, with a drawing of each design on the block.

Free for 60 days for 5 builders, in return for your feedback.

After 60 days, take the builder plan at US$59 a seat a month (5 seats minimum), or stop. No obligation, and no card to start.

How it works

Your company gets its own account on GoSiteHunt, with logins for your team. Then:

  1. Download the template

    A spreadsheet (Excel or CSV) with three made-up examples and a sheet that explains every column.

  2. Fill in your designs' sizes

    One row a design: width and depth, storeys and the upper floor, the garage, porch and alfresco, bedrooms and bathrooms. Your price list figure if you like.

  3. Upload it

    Every row is checked as it comes in. Anything missing or odd is named in one plain sentence, with the row, the design and the column. Each design is drawn from your sizes so you can confirm it matches your plan.

  4. Check a block

    Look up an address. GoSiteHunt checks every design against that block's planning rules: setbacks, site coverage, storeys and height, the yard behind the house, and so on. It shows which work, and why the others don't, with a check drawing of each design on the block.

What it does, and what it doesn't

What it checks

Each design as you drew it, placed on the block, against the zone's numbers:

  • front, side and rear setbacks (side setbacks grow with wall height)
  • site coverage, storeys and building height
  • the open space left behind the house
  • walls on the boundary, car parking and porch allowances
  • lot width and size when two or more homes share the block (side by side, joined, or in a row where your design allows a shared wall)

Every design gets one result:

  • Fits
  • Doesn't fit

What it is not

  • It reads a spreadsheet of sizes, not drawings. You don't upload plans, and we never redraw yours.
  • It is not a planning approval. It is a first check against the published rules. A planner or the council confirms before you sell or build.
  • It places your design as drawn. It never resizes it or makes up rooms.
  • It checks the outside of the house, not the rooms inside.

Where it works

Every state and territory: South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory. Each block is checked against its own state's rules, in residential zones.

The same limits as our own 3D designs: in Western Australia you choose the lot's R-Code; in Queensland, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Moreton Bay; in Tasmania, councils on the statewide planning scheme (not Kingborough yet); in the Northern Territory, the City of Darwin's low and low-medium density zones.

Outside South Australia we don't read every local rule yet, so a design there shows what isn't on file, as plain facts.

Apply for the pilot

Five places. Eddie, who runs GoSiteHunt, reads every application and picks the builders. Applying doesn't commit you to anything.

Questions

Do I need to send you my plans?

No. You fill in a spreadsheet of each design's outside sizes. We never ask for drawings, and we don't redraw yours.

Is "Fits the rules" a planning approval?

No. It checks your design's sizes against the zone's published numbers. Where a number goes past a rule, or isn't on file, the result says so as plain numbers.

Which states does it check?

Every state and territory: South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory, each against its own state's rules, in residential zones. In Western Australia you choose the lot's R-Code. Outside South Australia some local rules aren't on file yet, and the result says which.

What does the pilot cost?

Nothing for 60 days, and there's no card to enter. In return we ask for your honest feedback while you use it: what works, what's wrong and what's missing.

What happens after 60 days?

You choose: the builder plan at US$59 a seat a month (5 seats minimum), or stop. There's no obligation, and nothing renews by itself because there's no card on file.

How many designs can I load?

Up to 500 rows in one file, as Excel or CSV. You can load more files after that.

Who sees my designs?

Only the people in your company account. Your team gets its own logins, with roles for who can change the range and who can only look.

Who gets in?

Five builders. Eddie reads every application and picks them, so the pilot gets a useful mix of ranges and blocks.
