What decides buildability here

The factors that matter in Colorado

A preliminary report can organize these nine factors. Available data and local depth vary by address, source, and jurisdiction.

Wildfire

USFS Wildfire Hazard Potential shapes both insurability and code requirements at the urban edge.

Radon

EPA Zone 1 counties are common in this state — mitigation is routine but belongs in the budget.

Zoning

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 identify the sources used and the items that still require local verification.
