what we're building

Connecting physical adaptation to financial value

Climate adaptation needs to scale. But it won't happen through one-off projects. It scales when adaptation becomes visible, measurable, and valuable. When the market can recognise it.

That's what we're building. A way to identify where adaptation potential exists, demonstrate what it could deliver, and verify performance to standards that unlock insurance and financing value.

We focus on urban environments. Density concentrates both risk and opportunity. And the spaces that matter most aren't the ones on the masterplan. They're the margins no one's thought about yet.

What We've seen

Hidden in plain sight

There's a bias in how we think about flood resilience.

We picture large-scale infrastructure: retention ponds, engineered barriers, major civil works. The kind of projects that require years of planning and millions in capital.

But across every urban portfolio, something else exists. Thousands of small spaces doing nothing. The gravel strip beside the loading bay. The roof section that's empty except for an HVAC unit. The courtyard that's paved but barely used.

These spaces are everywhere. And they're exactly where nature-based solutions work best.

A rain garden here. A permeable surface there. A green roof section that retains water for a few hours after a storm. Individually, they seem too small to matter. But they accumulate. And when you can prove that accumulation to a standard insurers use, suddenly it counts.

That's the gap we're filling. Visibility. Verification. Value.

Put your portfolio to work against rising premiums

Here's something worth knowing: most insurers allocate annual bursaries for flood risk management on commercial portfolios.

That money often goes unspent because there's no clear path from we should do something to here's the verified outcome.

Plain Site provides that path. We help you identify where to intervene, quantify what it's worth, and prove it worked.

Curious whether your insurer offers risk bursaries? We can help you find out.
