TinyBloc unifies every step of compact housing development into a single, integrated workflow — so you move faster, with fewer blockers, and more accountability at every stage.
Connect any address or parcel ID to instantly surface zoning classification, lot size constraints, utility access, transit proximity, and neighbourhood affordability context — no manual GIS work required.
Enter any civic address, latitude/longitude, or parcel roll number — TinyBloc cross-references municipal GIS layers, property tax rolls, and zoning maps in under 3 seconds.
Each parcel receives an eligibility score for ADUs, missing-middle typologies, and infill — ranked against setback rules, height limits, and lot coverage maximums.
Automatically layers median rents, transit scores, walkability indices, and community amenity proximity onto every site report — so you assess viability from day one.
Generate compliant design templates, model financing structures, and auto-assemble permit packages — with tools that understand municipal variance processes, heritage overlays, and inclusionary zoning obligations.
Choose from a library of pre-engineered ADU, laneway, and co-housing layouts — each auto-adjusted to the parcel's constraints and the applicable building code jurisdiction.
Layer federal, provincial, and municipal incentives on top of your capital stack automatically. TinyBloc identifies applicable programs and models rent thresholds to maintain long-term affordability covenants.
TinyBloc generates complete submission-ready permit packages — site plans, elevations, structural details, and supporting documents — and tracks application status in real time through municipal portals.
Track construction milestones, place residents using needs-matched criteria, and monitor long-term affordability covenant compliance — with full audit trails ready for municipal reporting and grant accountability.
Log inspection sign-offs, trade completions, and material deliveries against a live Gantt schedule. Delays surface automatically with suggested mitigation paths.
Match waitlisted applicants to units based on income band, household size, accessibility requirements, and employment proximity — with transparent, auditable scoring.
Continuously verify that units remain within affordability covenant thresholds over their 10-, 20-, or 99-year terms — with automated reports for municipal funders and grant bodies.

Common questions
Most teams are fully operational within 48 hours. We connect to your existing municipal data sources during setup and import any prior site or permit records you have. A dedicated onboarding specialist walks your team through the platform in a 90-minute session.
TinyBloc currently covers 400+ municipalities across Canada and the United States, including all major Canadian cities and every US state capital. We add new jurisdictions on a rolling basis — contact us if your city isn't listed and we'll prioritise it.
No. Your project data is private by default. TinyBloc reads from public municipal data sources but never writes to them or shares your development plans without explicit consent. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
Yes — we offer discounted plans for registered non-profits and affordable housing providers, and a dedicated municipal portal for planning departments. Contact us for pricing and a tailored demo.
No GIS knowledge or engineering background is required. TinyBloc is designed for developers, planners, and housing advocates — the platform surfaces complex zoning and financial data in plain language with clear action items at every step.
