What is Buildability™?
Data version: Q2 2026 · Last updated 2026-05-13
TL;DR. Buildability™ is an AI-powered property intelligence platform that tells homeowners, investors, developers, lenders, and brokers what they can build on any U.S. property in about 20 seconds. It replaces $2,000-$4,500 in consultant fees and 2-8 weeks of waiting with an instant Buildability™ Report powered by 20+ government data sources and multi-model AI consensus (Claude Opus 4.7 + Sonnet 4.6, GPT-4o, Gemini).
The problem Buildability™ solves
Before Buildability™, answering "What can I build here?" required calling the city planning department (2-4 week wait), hiring a zoning consultant ($2,000-$4,500 per property), or manually reading hundreds of pages of municipal code. This is why most property deals either skip due diligence entirely (and get burned later) or spend weeks and thousands of dollars just to find out a deal is dead. Buildability™ automates the entire first round of due diligence.
What you get
For any U.S. address, Buildability™ returns a Buildability™ Report with: Buildability Score™ (0-100 with letter grade), zoning classification and permitted uses, setbacks and development standards, FEMA flood zone, wildfire and seismic risk, EPA contamination screening, infrastructure and utility readiness, comparable sales and market context, permit pathway with timeline estimate, plain-English verdict, and a 30-day action playbook. Every data point is sourced from government APIs with citations.
How fast
About 20 seconds per report. Buildability™ runs hundreds of API calls, AI analyses, and cross-validation checks in parallel. Users who have run 10,000+ reports report average completion times of 18-24 seconds.
Is Buildability™ a government service?
No. Buildability™ is an independent private company. It aggregates and analyzes public government data (FEMA, EPA, USGS, Census, HUD, county assessors, municipal zoning databases) to provide property intelligence. Buildability™ does not issue permits, make official zoning determinations, or act on behalf of any government agency. Reports are informational. Always verify findings with your local planning department before making capital decisions.
