Estate developers, real-estate investment companies, cooperative housing schemes.

The math behind it

Tangent length, deflection angle, chord — worked out before anyone breaks ground.

Curved boundaries and road reserves are set out from calculated tangent points and deflection angles, checked at fixed chord intervals against the approved layout — the same method behind every subdivision we peg.
