Unlock Profitable UK Development Sites Faster with BOOM!’s New Topography Data Layer







At BOOM!, we've just launched our new topography data layer. This powerful tool provides instant access to detailed topographic information for the entire UK—giving you an unbeatable edge in finding profitable development sites quickly and confidently.
Most property developers waste valuable time sourcing sites that look good at first glance but hide costly surprises like drainage issues and uneven terrain.
Our topography data layer removes the guesswork by giving you immediate clarity:
Instantly see land elevation and contours to quickly spot flat, easy-to-build plots.
Identify slopes early, avoiding expensive groundwork.
The result? You cut weeks off your site sourcing process and avoid costly mistakes. You get back hours in your day—and secure the best sites in your pipeline faster.
Gradients, Visualised
We’ve applied an easy-to-follow colour scheme representing heights relative to sea level. This means you quickly understand site elevations at a glance:
Each 5-metre change in height is clearly displayed.
The denser the contour lines, the steeper the gradient.
Quickly spot potential construction challenges at a glance.

Here's how our members are already making use of the new topography layer:
Rapidly shortlisting flat, build-ready plots to reduce upfront costs.
Accurately assessing slopes to avoid unforeseen groundwork expenses.
Quickly identifying flood risks based on site elevation.
Making informed, confident decisions on site suitability faster.
