This article explores how Hektar by Parametric can be a powerful tool for developers and planners working in non-planned areas. The platform's standout feature is its ability to integrate custom house models and Building Information Modeling (BIM), allowing for highly accurate data analysis and scenario planning. By incorporating their own designs, developers can better assess how their projects will interact with the environment and infrastructure, leading to more precise risk assessments and optimized decision-making. Hektar’s customizable reports and visualizations also make it easier to communicate detailed findings with stakeholders, building confidence and consensus in uncertain development areas. This approach ensures that projects are not only feasible but also well-suited to the unique challenges of non-planned regions
