Build smarter master-planned communities with TraceAir
Trusted by leading master-planned community developers, TraceAir keeps your whole team aligned on dirt, design, and progress from first scrape through final pads.
Why it matters
Master-Planned Communities need better Site Intelligence
When dirt, drainage, or utilities go sideways on one phase, it can ripple through the entire community. Site Intelligence matters most when you’re juggling dozens of phases, multiple builders, evolving site conditions, and scrutiny from cities, partners, and future residents.
Multiple phases, one moving site
Grading, pads, and amenities are constantly changing—but traditional topo, photos, and email threads can’t keep everyone aligned.
Dirt, drainage, and delay risk
Unexpected cuts/fills, pond capacity issues, and drainage problems create costly rework, schedule slips, and tough conversations with builders and cities.
Too many stakeholders, not enough clarity
Graders, surveyors, utilities, and vertical builders all work from slightly different models and timelines, making it hard to enforce one “source of truth.”
Documentation pressure keeps rising
Cities, HOAs, and internal risk teams all expect clear, defensible records—especially when issues surface years after initial construction.
Benefits for MPCs
Why Master-Planned Community developers love TraceAir
TraceAir gives MPC teams a shared, visual operating system for the entire site, so you can spot problems early, control risk, and keep every phase moving.
Big Picture
Portfolio & phase-level visibility
See every phase of your MPC in one place—mass grading, pods, amenities, and future phases. Toggle between scans over time to understand how the site is evolving and where attention is needed next.
Dirt Control
Control dirt and earthwork costs
Compare contractor models to design surfaces, calculate cut/fill and stockpile volumes, and catch over-excavation or misalignment before it turns into expensive rework or imports.
Project Alignment
Keep contractors and partners aligned
Give graders, surveyors, utilities, and builders access to the same up-to-date surface and overlays. Use TraceAir tools to validate work, resolve questions quickly, and eliminate “he said, she said” around dirt and quantities.
Stormwater Control
Reduce drainage and stormwater surprises
Use overlays, cross-sections, and elevation tools to confirm slopes, pond volumes, and drainage paths match the plan—before they turn into complaints from cities or homeowners.
Clean Hand-offs
Confident turnover to builders and HOAs
Package scans, measurements, and photos into clear handoff documentation for builders, cities, and HOAs. Show exactly what was built, when, and how it changed over time.
