#### Your current pace

You're spending **$612K–$828K** a year on engineer-drawn layouts and absorbing **8 business days** of delay to evaluate **12 parcels** a month.

**Extra parcels you could pencil**: +84 parcels/yr
Unlocks **3.3× current evaluation capacity**

**Annual engineer spend**: $720K
288 layouts/year at **$2,500** each

**Days waiting on layouts**: 8 biz days ~ 11 calendar days before you know if it pencils

**Include missed-deal cost from slow response (assumes avg $180K margin per deal)**

Estimates shown as a ±15% band. Capacity and missed-deal math is directional, based on a 8-business-day response window. [How we calculate →](https://try.traceair.net/layout-generator-cost-estimator?hs_preview=FMyUPDcU-211806632097#)

**Pencil faster. For less.**  
Layout Generator can run dozens of scenarios on any parcel in seconds. Save engineering time for deals that are further along.
