Site planning

Planning a construction project properly is essential for avoiding delays, cost overruns, and design issues. This step-by-step guide covers everything from setting project goals and analyzing the site to budgeting, scheduling, and securing permits. It also explains how to align stakeholders, choose the right project delivery method, and finalize construction documents. Modern tools like BIM, GIS, and construction management platforms streamline the process. Digital Blue Foam (DBF) adds value by using AI to provide data-driven design scenarios early in planning. With the right approach and tools, you can reduce risks and ensure smoother, smarter project execution.

City planners focus on local zoning and neighborhood growth, while urban planners tackle regional development, transit, and sustainability. Though roles overlap, the main difference lies in scale. Both use tools like GIS and AutoCAD. Platforms like Digital Blue Foam support both by enabling fast, data-driven planning and analysis across all project stages.
