What decides buildability here
The factors that matter in Michigan.
A preliminary report organizes these nine factors. Available data and local depth vary by address, source, and jurisdiction.
Local zoning sets the envelope — height, coverage, density, setbacks — and it is where most projects are actually won or lost.
How it works
Available data, one preliminary view.
Buildability geocodes the address, queries available flood, seismic, soil, radon, wildfire, and zoning context, and runs the published Buildability Score. Reports name the sources used and the items that still need local verification.
