Cadcorp GeognoSIS powers FIND’s advanced interactive site assessment tool

Website gives property and environmental professionals instant access to planning, environmental and building information in one central online location

FIND Mapping Limited (‘FIND’) recently launched their new website; the UK's most advanced interactive site assessment tool for businesses. The website gives property and environmental professionals instant access to information about a property or development site and its surrounding area, in one central online location.

Implemented including Cadcorp GeognoSIS and Adobe® Flex™ technologies, the website provides an innovative map service to various markets. Registered users include representatives of property companies, environmental consultants and insurance organisations. Data available through the site includes the FIND Map which is based on the Ordnance Survey MasterMap Topography layer. Created by FIND, it incorporates a carefully developed detailed colour key to highlight property-related elements and provides a view of OS MasterMap that is clear and easy to navigate and interpret for property purposes. Other data available includes information from Natural England, English Heritage, the Environment Agency and local authorities.

Users accessing the service report that they can assess sites faster for more efficient and informed decision making; identify development opportunities around a particular site; give reports and presentations more impact, depth and quality; and use accurate desktop analysis to reduce site visits, saving time and money while increase productivity and being able to handle more projects.

An interactive demonstration of the FIND service can be found at www.findmaps.co.uk

“Working with GeognoSIS has given FIND the flexibility to produce a cutting edge web mapping portal that offers mapping intelligence for everyday use within a range of commercial businesses”, said Mariam Crichton, development director, FIND.

“Cadcorp has been very pleased to provide FIND with the technology and services to underpin their new product”, said Mike O’Neil, managing director, Cadcorp. “We look forward to working with FIND too help realise their commercial goals”.
