Get to know the plot before you draw or buy
Search for an address or property number. We fetch the plot boundary, terrain and hazard maps from public sources and calculate how much sun the plot gets through the year, including the shadow from the mountains.
Indicative only. The information is collected automatically from public sources (the Norwegian Mapping Authority, NVE and the municipal planning register) and may be incomplete, misinterpreted or out of date. HEIU does not guarantee that it is correct. Always check with the municipality before you plan, buy or apply.

Sun and mountain shadow
The diagram shows the sun’s path across the sky seen from the plot. The grey field is the terrain and the mountains around. Where the path is behind the grey, the plot is in shade.
Buildings are read from the national laser elevation model (the Norwegian Mapping Authority) or from OpenStreetMap, and are approximate. Shadows from the buildings and whether the plot is in the shade of the mountains follow the month and time above.
Natural hazards (NVE)
A susceptibility area does not mean that the plot is unsafe, but that the hazard must be assessed further before building (Norwegian building regulations TEK17, chapter 7).
Zoning plan
The plans that apply to the property, from the municipality’s planning register. The provisions set how much you can build (plot coverage), how high and with what roof form.
