Know the site before schematic hours burn.You still decide.
Hunting parcel, plat, and zoning by hand burns schematic hours.SiteM8 reads what those records show, and you still call go or no-go.
Why SiteM8 exists
Architects and developers still burn schematic hours on sites that cannot work.
Parcel, plat, and zoning stay in three PDFs and a planner’s email.
The usual answers are a GIS screenshot or “ask the AI if this lot works.”
We refuse both.
SiteM8 reads the site documents toward a buildable envelope you can defend.
You still decide.
How SiteM8 works
Drop the site documents
Upload the parcel map, plat, zoning excerpt, and early site PDFs.SiteM8 treats each file as a source.Show what can be built
Coverage, setbacks, parking, and easements land in a site memo with a citation back to the source.You still decide
Go, pass, or send to counsel.SiteM8 does not stamp entitlements or invent a variance outcome.The next survey stays on the same memo
Later surveys update the memo.No restart from a blank memo.
Inside the workspace
Every project shows where it stands and what you do next. This sample is not a live job.
Reads parcel and zoning · cites the envelope · you still call go or no-go
Corner lot — envelope read
Parcel · plat · zoning
Open the site memo and confirm citations before schematic hours. You still call go or no-go.
What SiteM8 does
Closed pilot is for architects and developers screening sites.Pulling the parcel straight from the county map stays later.It is not in this list.
- Drop parcel, plat, zoning, and early site PDFs once. SiteM8 treats each file as a source.
- Show what can be built — coverage, setbacks, parking, easements — with a citation back to the source.
- Flag variance and entitlement themes as questions, not as legal conclusions.
- Keep the go/no-go memo tied to the source documents, not a chat transcript.
- Show the principal what is known vs still a question before schematic hours.
- Export a site memo for the design principal or owner with the citation trail attached.
- You still review, confirm, and call go or no-go.
What SiteM8 does not do
- SiteM8 is not a replacement for a land-use attorney or planner of record.
- SiteM8 does not auto-approve entitlements or variances.
- SiteM8 is not a takeoff or bid-estimate product — that is Estym8.
- SiteM8 is not municipal plan check — that is ColdEyes.
- SiteM8 is not the check an architect runs before issuing drawings — that is PlanM8.
- SiteM8 is not an ICT Basis of Design — that is Bodi.
- SiteM8 is the site read, not a chatbot.

SiteM8 is the site read. It is not a chatbot and it does not own the go or no-go call.
One suite.Multiple products.
The same plan-reading technology powers a different product for each job: takeoff, permit review, the check before you issue, a Basis of Design, and an early site read.Each product is its own.The assistant stays inside the job.
- GC / estimator takeoff and estimate from plan sets and bid folders — including ROM/WAG screening and full bid-grade depth on the same takeoff path.
- Emails, notes, and drawings become a Basis of Design for security, AV, cabling, and Wi-Fi.
- Permit package review for jurisdictions.ColdEyes researches each draft finding and notifies staff or applicants.Humans approve, deny, or issue.Staff keep the stamp.
- The check an architect or engineer runs before issue day.Coordination flags and missing sheets, before the seal or the submittal.
- Architect / developer early site read — parcel, plat, and zoning toward a buildable envelope.
