Project types you can explore
A concise map of the residential work Zoned is built around: zoning fit, likely constraints, and next steps before you sink time into drawings, permits, or mobilization.
Core project categories
These are the projects homeowners, contractors, and developers most often analyze before locking budget and schedule.
Multiplex conversion / build
Explore unit potential and rough upside. Try duplex through sixplex scenarios with the deal calculator against what the lot may support.
Home addition
Test footprint expansion before design spend. Add to the existing house footprint and compare against setbacks and building limits.
Basement apartment
Secondary units in existing homes: parking, egress and life-safety, and zone-specific permissions matter early.
Pool / backyard structures
Pools, cabanas, and detached amenities—setbacks, coverage, grading, and code overlays often drive layout.
Custom home / rebuild
Full rebuilds need early clarity on envelope, massing, setbacks, height, and context rules before design accelerates.
