How it works

Four layers between an architect's question and a cited answer.

Zoneity converts fragmented municipal bylaws into a normalized, machine-readable schema. Every query traces through the stack from interface down to the source clause.

  1. 01

    User-facing interfaces

    Map, feasibility calculator, AI chat, exportable reports. Every answer is cited and traceable to source.

  2. 02

    Proprietary rules engine

    Resolves rule hierarchies, amendment chains, and zone-specific overrides — always returning the currently applicable rule.

  3. 03

    Data layers

    Geospatial parcels, road widths, and land-use maps from cities across India — structured into a clean, queryable layer.

  4. 04

    Zoning codes

    Master plans, municipal bylaws, and zoning amendments from authorities across India — the raw legal corpus.

I used to spend a full day chasing a single FAR clarification through the BDA office. Now it's a pin drop.

Setback scenarios across a 30-plot portfolio used to take a week. Now we model the whole site in an afternoon.

The setback scenario table is the part that saves me. It's how I actually think about a plot.

What I needed was the regulation precedence chain. NBC over BDA, amendment over base. Zoneity is the only tool that gets this right.
