Permitting is the biggest bottleneck of the built environment.

Permitting is the single largest obstacle to real estate investment in Europe. €183 billion in capital sits frozen waiting for permits. Each month of delay costs developers roughly 1% of acquisition value. The aggregate cost: €22 billion a year.

The problem isn't new. The solution is.

Permitting has resisted automation because it isn't a rule check. It's a probabilistic outcome shaped by fragmented hyperlocal data, discretionary government review, local opposition patterns, and decades of precedent. Frontier AI makes it, finally, a software problem.

Timper is the AI operating partner for real estate developers. We tell you whether a project will get permitted before you acquire. Select a parcel, run a feasibility analysis, get an investment-grade memo. In minutes, not weeks.

Our dataset compounds with every project run: permit precedents, zoning constraints, local sentiment, discretionary patterns. It's a decision intelligence layer no new entrant can replicate without years of live usage.

Developers in Belgium and Luxembourg are already on Timper. Europe is next.

Our mission: build more of what the world needs.

Our vision: make the built environment computable.
