What the plans reviewer is looking for
Zoning and site rules decide what you can build long before structural design starts. A short feasibility review tells you how large the building can be, where it can sit on the lot, what uses are allowed and which approvals you need, so you can make a buy, lease or design decision with confidence.

Frequently asked questions about Site Feasibility & Zoning Study
When should I order a feasibility study?
Before you buy land, sign a lease or pay for full design. It is the cheapest point to find a deal-breaker.
What do I get?
A written summary of what the site allows, a buildable area diagram, and a list of the permits and approvals your project will need.
Can you check a lot in another state?
Yes. We review the local zoning code and maps for the exact address you send us.
