SPC - Use the Site Plan Configurator to Enter and manage the Information for Each Lot in a Site Plan

Modified on Tue, 23 Jul at 2:16 AM

Introduction: 

This application allows you to define, enter and manage all the information about each of the lots in a Site Plan (including Models that fit, lot premiums, lot conditions, architectural controls, etc.). This information will be pulled into all your touchpoints (website, touchscreen, etc.)


The Site Plan Configurator (SPC) is synced with both the Home Model Configurator (HMC) and Inventory & Price Management (IPM) to provide real-time status on lot availability.


!!  You can’t Layout or Stylize your Site Plan with the Site Plan Configurator (SPC). You do this with the Website & Landing Page Builder (WLPB) and the Touchscreen Builder (TB) -if included in your package-. 


!! Heads-Up 

Our Table of Contents links might occasionally land you Just Below The Target Section. If this happens, a Simple Scroll Up to the Previous Section will get you right where you need to be.

!! Why are there two map images?

There are two types of Site Plan images, one is a Standard Resolution Image, which is a lower quality image but crisp enough to use on Smaller Screens like Web or Mobile, and one is a Higher Resolution Image, which is a higher quality image for use on Larger Screens like Touchscreens and Tabletops.


!!  Make sure the two images have the exact Aspect Ratio. 

The Aspect Ratio is the Proportion of width to height. In other words, if you put one map on top of the other, all the lots need to fall in the same place.

!! Can I update the Base Image?

During the life cycle of a community, the Site Plans often Change. You can always Update your Base Image as long as the Aspect Ratio* of Both Maps are the Same. To change/update your Site Plan Base Image(s) follow these steps:

!!  What does the Maximum Number of Upload Records Mean?

When you upload a CSV file to Bildhive, it is essential to note that it should contain less than 15,000 rows -excluding the column headers. If your CSV file has more than 15,000 rows, divide it into smaller files and upload them separately.
