Blocktype de-risks the planning permission application process for housebuilders. The platform provides pre-designed, policy-compliant components for houses, apartment blocks, streets, parking spaces, and more making it incredibly easy for them to design, test, and collaborate on site layouts. All this whilst getting instant feedback on viability, infrastructure and sustainability metrics of their development proposals.
“We’re building tools that will transform how we plan for housing,” said Euan Mills, CEO and Co-Founder of Blocktype. “Policymakers know the numbers. The challenge is understanding what homes can go where. With this funding, we’re scaling our platform to give planners, developers, and local leaders the clarity they need to make housing delivery actually happen.”
“Blocktype’s approach addresses one of the most stubborn barriers to housing growth: poor visibility into infrastructure and policy constraints,” said Mark Pearson, Managing Partner at Fuel Ventures. “Euan and Adam bring unmatched credibility from years advising the government and shaping digital planning strategy. We’re proud to back them in solving a problem of national importance.”
