01 / The base rate nobody underwrites
Most pro formas assume the project lands on time. The odds say it won't.

02 / Technical screening inside the study
A first technical read on the parcel — from public records, inside the study.
Every feasibility study includes a screening-level pass on the things that usually cost money to discover late. Each one is an estimate built from public records with its source cited — a clear view to decide on, not sealed engineering. Where a number needs a licensed engineer to certify it, we say so, on the same line as the number.
Conceptual site sketch
A massing/yield concept from public records: roughly what fits — units, parking, where the pond lands — so you can see the program before you wire a deposit. A concept, not an engineered site plan.
Zoning & PUD pre-analysis
Future land use vs. current zoning, what the code allows, and whether it needs a rezoning or a PUD — with the open-space and dimensional traps that kill yield. Read from public records.
Topography, soil & grading (raise)
Public LiDAR and soil surveys turned into rough cut/fill, finished-floor vs. the 100-year flood, and whether the site has to be raised with fill to get out of the floodplain. Order-of-magnitude, not a sealed grading plan.
Retention pond pre-sizing
Required treatment volume from water-management-district criteria, impervious area measured by geometric union, and whether a pond of plausible size fits. Screening can rule a site out cheaply; sealed design confirms it.
Traffic / corridor capacity screening
Trip generation for your program against the road's official service volume: level-of-service today, future, and with your project. It flags whether a full traffic study and its cost belong in your price. It is not a sealed Traffic Impact Study.
Included in the study
All five screenings above come inside the feasibility study. Every figure carries a status — Verified / Estimated / Pending — and a source. They give you the picture before you buy. They are screening estimates, not sealed engineering, and they do not replace a licensed engineer.
A separate engagement
The sealed deliverables — a submittable Traffic Impact Study, engineered site, grading and drainage design, or a PE-certified report — are priced separately by scope and timeline. The study tells you whether and when it is worth spending on them.

03 / The screening system
Every parcel runs through the same disciplined questions.
Land & title
Parcel identity, ownership signals, easements and recorded constraints.
Zoning & use
Future land use, zoning district, density, setbacks and intended-use fit.
Water & environment
Flood exposure, wetlands, soils, drainage and environmental flags.
Access & utilities
Legal access, roadway context, water, sewer, power and service gaps.
Cost & schedule
Known fees, likely studies, agency steps and the next professional decisions.
Verdict & next move
A sourced go, conditional go, or stop—with open questions clearly labeled.
04 / What you receive
A decision document, not a pile of links.
The report identifies what is known, what is estimated and what still needs confirmation—so you can price uncertainty and decide whether to proceed.
- Executive verdictGo, conditional go, or stop—with the reason.
- Constraint registerRisks ranked by impact and urgency.
- Source trailAgency and public-record support behind findings.
- Next-action planWho to call, what to verify and what to budget.
05 / Built for an early decision
Before contract
Screen fatal constraints before committing capital.
During due diligence

Before design
Give engineers and consultants a sourced starting point.
06 / Questions
Before you ask.
How long does a study take?
A quick desk triage can take about a day. The timeline for a full study is confirmed after we review the parcel, intended use and scope.
What do you need from me?
The parcel ID or address and your intended use. We pull the rest from public and third-party sources.
Does this replace my civil engineer or attorney?
No — it tells you whether and when to spend on them, and hands them a clean, sourced starting point.
What if the answer is “don't buy”?
That's the point. A well-argued no, early, is the cheapest deliverable we produce.
Is this Florida-only?
The method is tuned to Florida, U.S.; we can scope elsewhere in the U.S. on request.
Do you do the engineering too?
The study includes screening-level site, drainage and traffic reads from public records — enough to price the deal and decide. Sealed engineering is a separate, PE-signed engagement scoped once you decide to move.
