How Buildwise DAS works

From site address to planning document in three steps

1

Enter your site details

Enter your address and we automatically detect planning constraints — AONB, conservation areas, flood zones and more.

2

Answer smart questions

Our questionnaire asks only what's relevant to your site, constraints and project type. Most users complete it in a single sitting.

3

Get your document

Receive a submission-ready Design & Access Statement tailored to your Local Planning Authority's specific policies.
