Zoning Verification Reports

Our zoning verification service comprehensively analyzes property restrictions and development potential. We research applicable codes, overlay zones, setback requirements, height limitations, and other critical parameters affecting your property. This report gives you certainty and peace of mind about what can be built before you commit to expensive design work, potentially saving thousands in revision costs.

Permit Feasibility Studies

Uncertain about permit requirements or project viability? Our feasibility studies evaluate your concept against current regulations, identifying potential obstacles and compliance pathways. This service includes comprehensive regulatory analysis, preliminary agency consultations, and strategic recommendations for successful permit acquisition. Ideal for complex projects, unusual property conditions, or investors conducting due diligence before property acquisition.

As-Built Documentation

For existing structures lacking proper documentation, our as-built service creates accurate drawings of current conditions required for permit applications. Our drafting team conducts detailed site measurements and creates professional documentation of existing structures, perfect for renovation projects, unpermitted work regularization, or property transactions needing verified documentation.
