Where is the lowest-risk build?
Swovee combines visible terrain with imported constraints, then compares what the construction campaign would demand at each candidate location.

DON'T ASK ONLY
CAN IT BUILD?
ASK WHERE IT
SHOULD BUILD.
Within an owner-authorized search area, Swovee audits the proposed footprint and nearby options before committing the construction plan.

01 / SEARCH THE VICINITYONE PARCEL.
ONE PARCEL.
SEVERAL BUILD FUTURES.
The assessment compares footprints, orientations, approach routes, staging zones and material-refill positions inside the authorized boundary. Neighboring land is never treated as available without permission.
SURFACE
Slope, grade break, roughness, drainage indicators, erosion, vegetation and obstacles.
MACHINE
Access, turning, stabilizer positions, arm coverage, relocation count and recovery routes.
LOGISTICS
Material delivery, refill pod, power, water, communications, crew and emergency access.
PROJECT
Footprint fit, orientation, preliminary sitework, printed volume, time and direct cost.
02 / EVIDENCE STACKTHREE LAYERS.
THREE LAYERS.
ONE AUDIT TRAIL.
A recommendation is only as strong as its weakest decisive input. Every layer records source, date, confidence and unresolved questions.
01OBSERVED BY SWOVEE
Visible ground truth
A georeferenced scout pass measures the surface Swovee can actually see and traverse.
- LiDAR elevation + slope
- Surface roughness + obstacles
- Visible drainage indicators
- Access width + turning space
- Rover pose + stabilizer reach
- Occlusion + confidence map
02IMPORTED RECORDS
Context beyond the sensor
Authoritative records and project data constrain the search before an option can be recommended.
- Cadastral boundary + rights
- Setbacks + planning controls
- Flood + habitat overlays
- Utility and road records
- Prior surveys + site history
- Weather + emergency access
03FIELD-VERIFIED
Evidence AI cannot invent
Named specialists close the subsurface, legal and regulatory questions the surface scan cannot answer.
- Bearing + settlement
- Buried utilities + voids
- Groundwater + contamination
- Hydrology + erosion
- Environmental review
- Permits + acceptance authority
03 / ASSESSMENT LOOPFROM SEARCH AREA
FROM SEARCH AREA
TO SHORTLIST.
AI helps generate and compare options. Deterministic rules remove unsafe or unauthorized options. Named professionals close the evidence gaps.
- 01Define
Set the project brief, authorized search polygon, decision weights and hard exclusions.
- 02Ingest
Register survey control, parcel data, utilities, planning constraints and available site records.
- 03Scout
Drive the approved area, fuse LiDAR and vision, and mark every unseen or uncertain region.
- 04Screen
Reject conflicts before scoring: rights, exclusion zones, unsafe traverses and machine-limit violations.
- 05Simulate
Test footprints, orientations, rover stations, access, material flow, energy, sitework and schedule.
- 06Rank
Return multiple viable options with evidence-linked scores, confidence and unresolved requirements.
- 07Release
Professionals investigate the preferred option before any signed construction package exists.
HARD-STOP SCREEN
Not every location deserves a score.
AUTHORITYOutside the owner-authorized search polygon or without documented access rights.
SAFETYNo compliant emergency route, work-zone separation or recoverable rover traverse.
MACHINESlope, clearance, ground contact or arm coverage outside the approved operating envelope.
RECORDKnown floodway, protected area, utility conflict or planning exclusion without an approved resolution.
EVIDENCECritical data absent or contradictory enough that ranking would create false confidence.

05 / CUSTOMER HANDOFFA DECISION PACKAGE.
A DECISION PACKAGE.
NOT JUST A POINT CLOUD.
The output tells the owner what looks viable, why, what it may cost to enable and exactly what must be verified next.
Georeferenced site twin
Surface mesh, control, confidence and unresolved-observation layers.
Ranked option register
Build, staging, refill and access polygons with proceed, investigate or no-go status.
Preliminary campaign
Rover stations, paths, print volume, refill cycles, operating hours and energy bands.
Sitework comparison
Relative grading, access preparation, drainage exposure, cost and schedule ranges.
Evidence request
Exact surveys, tests, permits and specialist decisions needed to advance each option.
Decision trace
Source, date, confidence, assumption and revision history behind every recommendation.
01PROCEED TO ENGINEERING
No known hard stop; advance the named verification work.
02CONDITIONAL—INVESTIGATE
Potentially viable, but one or more decisive questions remain open.
03NO-GO ON CURRENT BASIS
Do not spend design or mobilization capital unless the evidence changes.
04HOLD—NOT ASSESSABLE
A mandatory input is absent or contradictory. The option is not scored until it is resolved.
VISIBLE SURFACE
IS NOT SUBSURFACE TRUTH.
LiDAR and cameras cannot independently establish soil bearing capacity, buried utilities, groundwater, contamination, voids, property rights or code compliance.
AI proposes and compares options. It does not approve structures, grant permits or authorize construction. A signed job package follows—not precedes—the required professional evidence.
BRING A PARCEL.
LEAVE WITH OPTIONS.
The proposed assessment starts with a project brief, authorized search boundary and available site records. Sensitive site intake is not open; review the controlled pilot sequence before preparing records.
