The Pre-Design Feasibility Check is your first line of defense against bad surprises. Before you spend thousands on plans, we run a rapid, focused review of your property’s zoning, basic code constraints, and approval path so you know what’s actually buildable—and what’s not worth chasing.
We translate city jargon into plain language: what you can build, where you can put it, how tall it can be, and what approvals or variances might stand in your way. You’ll walk away with a clear yes/no/maybe picture and a recommended strategy, not a 40-page code dump.
Ideal For
Homeowners thinking about a new build, addition, ADU, or major remodel
Designers and builders who want to avoid redesigns and rework
Investors evaluating a property’s potential before closing
What We Check
Zoning + land use: allowed uses, density, and basic development rights
Setbacks + height limits: buildable envelope and problem areas
Lot constraints: easements, access, flags that might trigger special review
Permit path: likely permit type(s), departments involved, and rough timeline
High-risk items: issues likely to require a variance, engineer, or redesign
What You Get
Plain-English Feasibility Summary (green / yellow / red callouts)
High-level build envelope sketch or description
Recommended next steps (design approach, consultants, and permit strategy)
Outcome:
You stop guessing, stop arguing with “someone at the counter,” and start design with clear rules of the game.
