The Performance Planning System (PPS) Advantage:

The "land plan" is the foundation for your business plan. Land Planners, Civil Engineers and Land Surveyors are supposed to be providing your firm with the best design to assure your success, yet they use CAD systems that advertise and promote getting the job out faster - not creating efficient designs that assure your profitability.

Technology failed to produce significant improvements in the living standards and economics of recent developments. PPS educates developers and builders how to make sure their plans are both economically and environmentally sound and deliver that all important curb appeal that generates sales.

Beyond the T-Square & Triangle: plan1

PPS provides instructions for advanced planning proven to reduce infrastructure costs and environmental impact- positively affecting your business.

PPS teaches how to recognize waste and reduce or eliminate it. PPS also instructs how to increase both space and density.

All of this enhances your chances of profitability!

PPS is not about a particular planning "Style" - those that embrace Smart Growth, Conventional Subdivision Design or the more intricate Prefurbia will benefit from this advanced system.

Design made easy:

PPS is the only "system" that provides an education integrated within the world's most powerful site design technology to empower your ability to build the best homes and communities.

Beyond Lot and Street Platting:

PPS is the only advanced land planning system available on the market. There are software vendors who may claim to have a "planning" package, but they fail to provide tools that go beyond street intersection and lot generation. Simple subdivision platting and neighborhood planning are two very different things.

If the plats you are getting from your consultants look like typical subdivisions you probably don't even realize how wasteful the design is likely to be. PPS teaches developers and builders how to interpret a plan to make sure your consultants provide you with the best foundation... of course if they have PPS, it's likely that foundation is solid in the first place!

Pedestrian Oriented Design:plan2

PPS is the only "system" that teaches builders and developers how to balance both pedestrian and vehicular systems.

When walks simply follow streets, either the pedestrian system or the vehicular system is compromised - PPS provides a better way that will surely help attract home buyers and sell lots.

A Platform that Fosters Communication:

Architects, Planners, Engineers and Land Surveyors are supposed to work for the common goal of your success. The developer (you) assume these professionals are in close communication assuring they are all working in harmony to come up with the best designs. In the real world - these professionals rarely communicate or work as a group while in initial design, even when they may all be under the same roof. PPS provides a common ground for communication.

PPS is the only system that teaches you the basics of civil engineering and land surveying so you can communicate with the consultants from a position of strength.

PPS teaches attractive, efficient, environmentally sound development. It teaches both advanced residential and commercial site design. Knowledge is power!

Blending Architecture & Planning:

PPS is the only "system" that integrates architecture and planning - expanding beyond the front porch and tree-lined streets . This provides more value for the home buyer and can easily leverage sales.

PPS provides the technology to easily interpret room functionality, window locations and viewsheds while site planning. No other technology or system is set up to target this advanced form of design. PPS is the only system that teaches home shaping - a recent technique in demand with builders and developers.

A New Standard:

PPS is the only "system" that integrates precision shapes with a positional based coordinate geometry (patents pending).

The ease of use in our exclusive interface eliminates the command line and reduces time to learn and master a software package.

Spend time learning better design - not CAD operation:

PPS is a standalone system requiring no other software for neighborhood design. For land developers and builders it provides a foundation to make sure you have the best design and can utilize the data your consultants provide to you in CAD formats - without the pain of learning CAD.

PPS is the first positional based geometry system making it easy to learn. The drawing is the geometry, and that drawing is spatial based. Thus all geometry is automatically rendered making everyone look like a Graphic Artist - and providing that all important wow factor to help win approvals.

As a developer now is the best time to incorporate PPS in your business:

PPS provides the foundation that will enhance your land development (or building) business... in these hard times and beyond. Now is the best time to install (that takes about a minute) and learn (within a week you will be an empowered developer/builder - learning the technology may take longer, depending upon your experience).

So the bottom line - what is all of this going to cost?

All of this cost only $1,995.00 per seat!

$1,995.00- An incredible Value:

This powerful standalone system includes:

  • The technology (software) on CD with symbols library.
  • An actual Full Color 550 Page textbook (the education).
  • All updates (for free) throughout 2011.
  • Access to On-Line Training

Note: Developers and builders should also get support ($995.00) for the first year and take an initial training class.
