Designing for Density Shouldn’t Take Days

One of the biggest bottlenecks in early-stage residential is density testing. How many units will fit? What’s the FSI (Floor Space Index)? Can we comply with setbacks, height limits, and still hit profitability targets?

These questions aren’t just conceptual, they’re tied to real outcomes, timelines, and feasibility.

And yet, most architects and developers still use disconnected tools to figure it all out. Sketch in one tool. Calculate in Excel. Redo in CAD. Review manually.

It’s slow. It’s messy. And it leaves a lot of room for error.

Snaptrude Makes It Fast and Visual

Snaptrude lets you model buildings, test out densities, and visualize outcomes instantly, all inside a single, cloud-based BIM platform.

Instead of redrawing blocks and recalculating floor area every time something changes, you can:
- Adjust building massing dynamically
- Apply real-time FSI and unit count and area feedback
- Instantly test unit densities and unit mixes
No need to manually measure carpet areas or pull up spreadsheets. The platform does the math while you model.

From Planning to Feasibility, On One Screen

Whether you're working on a multifamily housing layout, a mid-rise development, or an infill site, Snaptrude lets you test and iterate with:
- Live density calculations
- Real-world building constraints (setbacks, height, roads, etc.)
- Customizable unit configurations
- Instant visual feedback for faster client reviews
- Program-based custom calculations for unit mix, cost of construction, and ROI on each design option

This means you can move from:

“Can we build 80 units here?”
To: “Here are 3 options,  and here’s the ROI, cost, and feasibility for each.”

All in just a few minutes, right inside your design environment.

No More Guesswork in Feasibility Studies

Feasibility shouldn’t feel like trial and error. With Snaptrude, you can simulate multiple design options, evaluate ROI potential, and get buy-in from stakeholders early, all without leaving your design environment.

And because it’s cloud-based, your team and collaborators can view and adjust density assumptions live.

Built for Architects, and Developers

Snaptrude wasn’t built just for modeling. It was built to make early-stage design smarter, faster, and more financially informed.

If you’ve ever spent hours stitching together massing models, spreadsheets, and zoning code PDFs, Snaptrude is your shortcut to better density planning.
