Getting Started

How do I get started with Buildability™?

Enter any U.S. property address on our homepage and check the live Buildability™ Score free — no signup required. Create an account and you get 3 free credits, each good for a full Buildability™ Report generated in under 20 seconds from 5 federal agencies queried live.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Buildability™ runs on Geo credits — one-time purchases that never expire. One credit buys one full Buildability™ Report or one deliverable, at $29 per credit down to $6 at volume. Geo chat, the live Score, and the scenario sandbox are free forever. Teams can add Pro for $399/month for a shared workspace and credit pool.

What information do I need to generate a report?

Just a property address. Our system automatically identifies the parcel, queries 5 federal agencies live (Census, FEMA, USGS, EPA, USDA) plus county records, and generates a comprehensive Buildability™ Report.

Can I see a sample report before purchasing?

Yes — your first 3 reports are free when you create an account. Enter any address on the homepage to see the full preview including your Buildability™ Score, zoning data, and risk flags.

Account & Billing

How do I update my payment method?

Go to Settings → Billing in your dashboard and click "Update Payment Method." You can add or remove credit cards at any time.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Credits are one-time purchases with nothing to cancel — they never expire. If you subscribed to Pro ($399/month, month-to-month), cancel anytime from Settings → Billing; access continues until the end of your current billing period. No cancellation fees.

Can I get a refund?

New subscriptions have a 14-day money-back guarantee. One-time report purchases are non-refundable after generation; other one-time purchase refund requests are reviewed case by case within 7 days. Email team@buildability.us with your account details and request.

Do unused report credits roll over?

Yes — Geo credits never expire. The 50 credits included with Pro each month roll into your regular balance at the best rate and never expire either. Use them whenever you're ready.

Reports & Data

What data sources does Buildability™ use?

We query 5 federal agencies live — FEMA (flood), USGS (seismic/elevation), EPA (radon/environmental), Census (geocoding/demographics), and USDA (soil) — plus OpenStreetMap (utilities), Regrid (parcels), RentCast (valuations/comps), and Zoneomics (zoning). All reasoning runs on Anthropic's Claude — Opus 4.7 for due-diligence, Sonnet 4.6 as the default tier, Haiku 4.5 for fast lookups. A complexity router picks the cheapest tier that can answer correctly.

How accurate is the data?

We source directly from official government APIs and commercial data providers. Each data point shows a confidence badge (Verified, Estimated, or Limited Data) so you know exactly how reliable each finding is. Always verify critical information with local authorities before making final decisions.

How long does it take to generate a report?

Under 20 seconds. We query all data sources in parallel — you can watch the progress as each source returns data.

Can I export reports to PDF?

Yes. All paid reports include a professional PDF export that you can share with lenders, partners, contractors, or city planning departments.

How often is data updated?

Government sources update quarterly or as surveys complete. Commercial data (comps, rentals) updates weekly to monthly. We always pull the most current data available at the time of report generation.

White-label & Integrations

Can my company or city get a white-label version?

Yes. Cities, counties, and companies can run Buildability™ under their own brand — your logo, your domain, your users’ experience — including the embeddable widget and custom data integrations. Contact team@buildability.us to scope a deployment.
