Site analysis
Site and land analysis
A written report on a lot before you buy it or design on it. It sets out what zoning, setbacks, flood zone, and access allow, and what the lot can hold, using public records and a site visit. It is an informal zoning summary for design planning. It is not a survey, a legal opinion, or an engineering study. Final development rights must be confirmed by a licensed professional or the local building department.
- Who it suits
- Buyers comparing lots, owners planning an addition, and builders testing a site before committing.
- Typical duration
- The site visit is 3 to 5 days after booking. The report follows 5 business days after the visit.
What is included
- Pre-visit research: zoning district, setbacks, lot coverage, height limits, and open space requirements
- Aerial and GIS overlay analysis, and a basic flood zone check
- Site visit of up to 1.5 hours, with photo documentation
- Notes on access, driveway, drainage, views, sun path, noise, privacy, topography, and tree cover
- Bubble diagrams and massing sketches
- Opportunities and constraints narrative
- Next step roadmap with suggested services
- An optional layout concept
