Archistar is changing how architects, developers, and planners approach property. By combining AI, urban planning rules, and geospatial data into a single digital platform, it helps users instantly discover a site’s full potential, without the slow, manual processes that have long defined early-stage development.

Smarter site discovery

Finding the right development site is often time-consuming and uncertain. Archistar solves this by acting like a search engine for property potential.

With just an address or map selection, users can:

• Instantly view planning controls like zoning, building height, FSR, and setbacks
• Access land constraints such as heritage overlays or flood zones
• Run site feasibility in seconds, calculating buildable area and possible yield
• Compare recent sales, nearby developments, and market data

Everything you need to assess development potential is available in a clean, visual interface — no PDFs, no planning portals, no guesswork.

AI-driven design options

Archistar’s standout feature is its generative design engine. Once a site is selected, the platform can instantly generate hundreds of 3D building concepts that comply with local regulations.

Design teams can:

• Test massing, setbacks, and site coverage
• Analyze daylight, shadow, access, and open space
• Adjust parameters to explore residential, mixed-use, or commercial layouts
• Export compliant 3D models to SketchUp, Rhino, or Revit

This helps speed up the design phase and reduces time spent on initial concepts — all while staying within planning rules.

Built-in risk analysis

Every site comes with potential risks. Archistar helps identify them early.

Through interactive overlays, users can visualize:

• Bushfire-prone areas
• Flood risk and sea level rise
• Noise zones, contamination, and slope data
• Environmental and cultural protections

By seeing this data upfront, developers and architects can make better-informed decisions before money is spent on detailed design or acquisition.

Automating compliance with eCheck

For councils and planning authorities, Archistar’s eCheck tool is a major leap forward. It digitizes planning rules and automates compliance checks for new development proposals. Instead of weeks or months of manual reviews, eCheck delivers instant feedback on whether a design meets local codes. The result is faster approvals, more transparency, and smoother collaboration between developers and regulators.

Trusted across the industry

Archistar is used by over 100,000 professionals and 1,000+ organizations, including:

• Architects validating site constraints before design
• Developers exploring yield potential across multiple sites
• Town planners streamlining assessments
• Local governments digitizing urban policy
• Consultants assessing risk and opportunity in early phases

Whether it’s a small infill lot or a large-scale urban precinct, Archistar supports a faster, more confident development process.

Why it matters

At ArchTech, we’re always exploring tools that drive progress in architecture, engineering, and construction. Archistar stands out because it brings together AI, planning, and design in a way that’s actually usable today. It reduces risk, saves time, and creates new possibilities for how cities evolve. For any AEC professional working in early-stage development, Archistar is a tool worth knowing.
