InfillOS

InfillOS is a feasibility engine for small residential infill developers. It checks every parcel in a market against zoning, fits buildings to each lot, runs the pro forma and ranks the results, so you can spend your time on the deals that pencil.

Status
Invite-only, live in Durham, NC
Traction
132,562 Durham parcels evaluated. BRM Collective is the founding customer and first investor.

The problem

A single feasibility check, covering zoning, setbacks, a building layout and a pro forma, can take days. So developers evaluate the few lots they happen to hear about, and most viable land is never looked at.

Who it's for: Independent and small-team residential developers who build infill housing and want to see opportunities before the rest of the market does.

What InfillOS does

Parcel intelligence
Search every parcel in a target zone with zoning and site constraints already resolved.
Building envelope fitting
Layouts are fitted to each lot automatically, including irregular shapes, and shown on an interactive map.
Instant pro formas
Each candidate gets a financial feasibility analysis and a score, so the best deals rise to the top.
Works from your AI assistant
Search, evaluate and map through MCP tools in Claude or other assistants, or use the web dashboard.

Decisions that shaped it

The product calls behind InfillOS, and why we made them.

AI-native, not another dashboard

Developers already ask AI assistants questions all day, so InfillOS exposes its workflows as MCP tools rather than asking them to learn a new app.

A solver for real-world lots

Infill lots are rarely rectangles. A hybrid genetic-algorithm and simulated-annealing solver packs units onto irregular parcels where simple templates fail.

A partner with skin in the game

Our founding developer partner participates in the profits of deals InfillOS surfaces, which keeps the product focused on deals that actually close.

Built with Python, FastAPI, FastMCP, PostGIS, Shapely, Node.js, Leaflet, Claude API.
