Authoritative BC & federal datasets
Trusted by people who work the land
"I used to spend half a day pulling together ALR status, stream setbacks, and slope info before quoting a job. prework.ca does it in five minutes. It paid for itself on the first report."
"The water flow and catchment data alone is worth it. I could see exactly where the drainage issues were going to be before we broke ground. Saved a significant change order conversation."
"I run it on every rural listing before it goes live. Buyers always ask about ALR status, streams, and access -- now I have that ready before the first showing. Clients notice when you come prepared."
Built in BC
prework.ca started on Vancouver Island. After a decade in earthworks, I was tired of spending days pulling data from scattered government portals before I could even start quoting a job. So I built a tool that does it in minutes.
Whether you're a contractor pricing a new site, a landowner exploring what your property allows, a realtor doing due diligence on a rural listing, a farmer checking ALR and soil conditions, or a consultant pulling together a site assessment -- the research is the same. Draw your parcel, hit analyse, and get back terrain, water, regulatory, climate, solar, and biodiversity data in one report.
prework.ca is operated by Swell Farms Inc. out of Campbell River, BC. Built from a decade of field experience with Jagged Excavating, we work in land, water, and earthworks -- and we built the tool we wished we had from day one.
