Each feature in PlaceMaker has been developed based on the team's previous experience as planners, as well as the requirements of the local authorities we work with.
By creating scalable solutions across all PlaceMaker councils, we can make sure we're moving the planning system forward as a whole. We work exclusively with the public sector and are committed to empowering the people who shape the places around us.
