Soil analysis, slope survey, sunlight mapping, water access evaluation, and zoning review. We tell you what the land can support — before you buy, before you build.
Most architecture starts with a rendering. We start with a handful of dirt. Soil composition determines foundation type. Slope determines drainage strategy. Sunlight determines room orientation. Water access determines landscaping potential.
We evaluate every factor that affects what the land can support — and what it can’t.
About 20% of the time, we do the assessment and tell the client: don’t build here. That’s the most valuable thing we do. A bad site will cost more than a good architect.
Typically 2-4 weeks, depending on site complexity and jurisdiction.
