the built world.

Transect's software helps land developers to find, select, and assess their ideal project site. Our deepest expertise is environmental and landscape constraints, it's our secret sauce and it underpins our differentiation. Transect's data and interface help our customers to navigate the complex matrix of regulations and permits to get their ideal plot of land with the lowest risks.
