FGB Acumen

FGB Acumen works in UK land and property development, where assessing a potential site means gathering information from a huge number of different sources: planning records, maps, environmental constraints, local authority data, development policies and other datasets.

The information existed. The problem was getting it all together.

Producing a single land assessment report could take days.

Someone had to visit hundreds of websites, search for the site repeatedly, inspect different maps and datasets, take screenshots, copy information, organise everything manually and then assemble it into a report.

The process was slow, repetitive and heavily dependent on manual work. And then they had to do it all over again for the next site.

I built FGB Acumen to bring that entire process into one platform.

Instead of searching across hundreds of websites, users search for a site once and access everything they need from one place. Planning information, geographic constraints, historic maps, datasets, policies and other site intelligence come together in a structured assessment workflow.

The platform handles the complexity behind the scenes, including geospatial analysis, large datasets, mapping, background processing and report generation.

When the assessment is complete, the user clicks Generate Report. That's it.

A process that previously took days of searching, copying, screenshotting and compiling now runs through one platform.

The user researches the site, reviews the relevant information and generates the finished PDF report with a click. Less manual research. Less repetitive work. Less chance of missing information.

And instead of spending days producing one report, the team can spend that time actually evaluating opportunities.

FGB Acumen didn't just put the old process online. It removed most of the process entirely.
