Buildability™ Case Studies
Data version: Q2 2026 · Last updated 2026-05-13
TL;DR. How real buyers and developers use Buildability™ to catch hidden risks and move faster. Every case study has specific numbers — dollar amounts saved, parcels screened, red flags caught — because generic marketing is what got due diligence in trouble in the first place.
Investor: $180K overlay caught before LOI
A Denver investor was about to sign an LOI on an 8-parcel infill site. Buildability™ flagged a pending zoning overlay that would downzone 6 of the 8 parcels — a $180K loss of project value. The investor walked away from the deal and found a cleaner opportunity the same week. Time saved: estimated 4 weeks of wasted due diligence and attorney fees.
Developer: $85K stormwater easement discovery
A California developer used Buildability™ to run a final check on a 12-lot subdivision before closing. The report flagged an undisclosed stormwater easement running through two of the lots. The developer renegotiated the purchase price down $85K to cover the loss of buildable area.
Homeowner: Sacramento ADU green light
A Sacramento homeowner wanted to add a detached ADU but assumed zoning, parking, and setbacks would kill it. Buildability™ showed the lot met all ADU requirements under California state law (AB 68) with no variances needed. The homeowner proceeded with an architect and got permits approved in 12 weeks.
