Frequently asked questions
What is property due diligence?
Property due diligence is the process of investigating a property before purchase or investment. It includes checking zoning compliance, environmental risks (flood, wildfire, contamination), buildability constraints (setbacks, height limits, FAR), title issues, and financial viability. Buildability™ automates the zoning and environmental portion using live data from 5 federal agencies.
What should I check before buying an investment property?
Before buying, check: (1) Zoning — is the property zoned for your intended use? (2) Environmental risks — flood zone, wildfire, radon, contamination. (3) Buildability — can you renovate, add units, or develop? (4) Comps — what are similar properties selling/renting for? (5) Title and liens. Buildability™ handles items 1-3 instantly from government data.
How much does property due diligence cost?
Traditional due diligence with consultants costs $3,500-$10,000+ per property. Buildability™ provides zoning analysis, environmental screening, and buildability scoring for one report per property — $99, down to $79 at volume, and reports never expire. The free screening above gives you an instant risk assessment at no cost.
How do I check if a property has environmental risks?
Buildability™ checks FEMA flood maps, EPA Superfund/brownfield databases, USGS seismic data, state wildfire hazard maps, and EPA radon zone data automatically. Enter your address above for a free instant screening. The full report ($99) includes detailed findings with each one citing the federal dataset it came from.
Can I use this for commercial property due diligence?
Yes. Buildability™ analyzes any U.S. parcel including commercial, residential, mixed-use, and vacant land. The tool checks zoning, environmental, and buildability factors regardless of property type. For commercial properties, the full report includes development standards, FAR analysis, and entitlement complexity rating.
What is Phase I environmental assessment and do I need one?
A Phase I ESA (Environmental Site Assessment) investigates potential contamination from current or historical land use. It is typically required by lenders for commercial transactions. Buildability™ screens for EPA Superfund sites, brownfields, and contamination proximity as a pre-Phase I indicator. If flags are found, a full Phase I ($2,000-$5,000) is recommended.
How many properties can I screen at once?
The free tool screens one property at a time. For portfolio screening, buy reports in bulk — the price drops automatically from $99 to $79 per report at volume, and nothing expires. For bulk-uploading thousands of parcels with CSV upload, batch processing, and portfolio-wide scoring, talk to sales about a custom Bulk & Enterprise plan. Visit the pricing page for details.
What due diligence mistakes cost investors the most?
The three costliest due diligence failures are: (1) Missing environmental contamination that requires $50,000-$500,000+ in remediation. (2) Overlooking zoning restrictions that prevent intended use or development. (3) Ignoring flood zone designations that add $3,000-$40,000/year in insurance. Buildability™ screens for all three.
How fast can I complete due diligence with Buildability™?
Buildability™ delivers zoning, environmental, and buildability analysis in 20 seconds per property. Traditional due diligence takes 2-4 weeks per property. Investors using Buildability™ typically screen 10-50 properties per day versus 1-2 per week manually.
Is Buildability™ a replacement for a title search?
No. Buildability™ covers zoning compliance, environmental risk, and buildability analysis. Title searches, lien checks, and survey verification require separate providers. Buildability™ handles the property intelligence portion of due diligence; title companies handle the legal ownership portion.
