How it works
Minfis replaces the first two-to-six months of work on an urban-planning concept: the pre-design assessment of what fits on a site at all and with what figures. The whole path takes minutes.
- 01
Trace the site on the map
Find the place by address, turn on the satellite image and drop vertices with clicks. The boundary is editable — drag vertices and add new ones from edge midpoints. Area, perimeter and vertex count are computed on the fly; for the MVP the site must be between 0.2 and 50 hectares.
- 02
Answer questions about the future complex
Housing class, number of storeys, morphotype, parking ratio, share of commercial space, level of landscaping — about thirty-five fields grouped into six blocks. Answering all of them is not required: every field has a default for the chosen class. If it is easier to describe it in words, the assistant fills the fields in for you.
- 03
Get the development options
The generator lays out the buildings in several schemes — rows, perimeter block, towers — checks the codes and computes the figures for each. Options are compared in a table; any of them can be rotated in 3D, with layers for the yard, parking and fire lanes.
- 04
Take the booklet
An A4 PDF: a cover with a render, a satellite image with the boundary, the massing solution, full technical and economic figures, code checks and a written concept description. You can hand it to an investor, a contractor or an architecture firm as a brief.
What the generator computes
The core is a procedural algorithm, not a neural network: the layout is predictable and reproducible, and the same inputs give the same result. It checks setbacks from boundaries and red lines, everyday gaps between buildings, fire lanes, sunlight in a simplified form, and parking and greenery provision.
The regulatory profile is chosen by the site’s country and stated in the report, so it is clear exactly what the numbers were computed against.
What Minfis does not do
It does not issue design or working documentation, does not obtain approvals and does not replace an architect. The result is a pre-design assessment: a basis for a "go / no-go" decision and a brief for the firm that will do the design.
