A clearer first step

Start before diligence gets expensive.
Use the free scan to orient the team, then investigate the issues that deserve professional confirmation.
- 01
Enter the property and project
Start with an address, then describe the proposed use, scope, and the decision in front of you.
- 02
Review the approval roadmap
See likely zoning, permits, agencies, documents, and sequencing—with the public sources behind each finding.
- 03
Act on the red flags
Spot constraints that could change the deal, design, timeline, or next conversation with the jurisdiction.
Development Red Flag Report
Focus the diligence on what could change the project.
When a site matters, move beyond a high-level scan. The Development Red Flag Report frames the questions that may affect feasibility, scope, approvals, and professional next steps.
