01
Place a plan on the lot
Pick a lot on the map and choose from your plans. The floor plan lands on the parcel to scale, inside the setbacks.
Pre-construction planning for home builders
From lot
to start date.
See your lots on a map, place your plans on them to scale, and check what each plan sells for nearby. When you decide, Lucera sends the engineering, loan, design, and permit requests and tracks every reply.
Illustrative example. Lots, plans, prices, and companies are fictional.
How it works
Decide what to build. Lucera gets it started.
The big decisions stay with you. The emails, packets, and follow-up don’t have to.
02
See what it sells for here
How this plan has sold for you, what similar homes nearby are going for, and a suggested list price, before you commit.
03
Start the home
One click and Lucera sends the engineering, loan, design, and permit requests, then tracks every reply.
Your planning center
Every lot, plan, and request in one place.
Stop rebuilding each home start from spreadsheets, plan sets, and email threads.
Map view
Every parcel you own, outlined and labeled, across every development.
Satellite view
The land itself, with your floor plan placed to scale inside the setbacks.
Map and satellite
Switch between a clean map and the satellite view to see the road, the land, and the neighbors.
Your actual floor plans
Set up from the plan sets you already have, so what lands on the lot is the plan you build.
Setback lines
Front, side, and rear setbacks drawn on the parcel, so you can see a plan fits before you pick it.
Sales context
Your past results for the plan and recent nearby sales of similar size.
Request packets
Engineering, loan, design, and permit requests built from the lot and plan.
Tracked to a start date
What was sent, what came back, and what’s still waiting, kept with the home.
You stay in control
You decide what to build. Lucera does the legwork.
Starting a home means a dozen handoffs. Lucera sends them and keeps them moving, so the start date doesn’t slip while someone waits on an email.
You make the big calls
You choose the lot, the plan, and when to start. Lucera does the legwork after that.
Requests you’ve set up
Packets, recipients, and channels are agreed with you before anything goes out.
A planning aid, not a survey
Engineering, surveyed boundaries, and approvals still go through the right professionals.
A few practical questions
Know what you’re handing off.
What is Lucera’s pre-construction planning pilot?
A guided pilot for seeing the lots you can build on, choosing a plan for each, and starting the home. Lucera prepares and sends the requests needed to get to a start date, then tracks the documents and responses. We agree on the map data, plans, recipients, and first request workflows during setup.
Can we see lots and place plans on a map?
Yes. Your lots appear on a map and satellite view, and your floor plans, set up from your existing plan sets, are drawn to scale on the lot with your setbacks. We confirm the available parcel data, plan geometry, and required checks during onboarding. Site placement is a planning aid; engineering, surveyed boundaries, setbacks, and approvals still require the appropriate professional review.
Where do the sales numbers come from?
Past performance of a plan comes from your own closed homes. Nearby sales come from the market data sources agreed during onboarding. The figures are context for choosing a plan, not an appraisal, underwriting, or a guarantee of price.
What happens when we start a home?
Lucera sends the request packets included in your workflow, such as engineering, financing, design selections, and permits, to the recipients you configured. It then tracks replies and keeps returned documents with the home. Which requests go out, and to whom, is agreed during setup.
Does this include lot acquisition or financial underwriting?
No. The pilot focuses on the lots you already have and advancing selected homes toward construction. Acquisition analysis, underwriting, and broader financial decisions are outside that scope unless separately agreed.
How does planning connect to the superintendent?
The goal is to carry the selected plan, current documents, and start date into field coordination. If you also pilot the superintendent agent, we agree on the records and handoff needed. The pilot does not assume an existing integration with every builder system.
