Site Analysis, Property Assessment & Feasibility Studies
PH&C studies a property before you commit: zoning, title, environmental risk, utilities, access, and a cost opinion you can take to a lender.
Feasibility is the work you do before a deposit goes hard. PH&C leads site analysis, property assessment, and feasibility studies so you know what a parcel will allow, what it will cost, and how long approvals are likely to take. The goal is a decision: proceed, renegotiate, or pass.
What PH&C handles
- Zoning and land development requirements, including permitted uses, density, setbacks, parking, and the approval path.
- Title commitment and survey review for easements, rights-of-way, encroachments, and deed restrictions.
- Environmental assessments and hazardous material surveys for properties with a prior use or an existing building.
- Geotechnical investigations that identify rock, groundwater, and soil conditions affecting foundations and earthwork.
- Existing utility identification and capacity checks for water, sewer, gas, electric, and communications.
- Highway access and the environmental permits the project is likely to need.
- Landlord and tenant lease construction requirements.
- A preliminary schedule and an opinion of probable cost tested against your pro forma.
What you get
- A written summary of the risks, open questions, and costs found at each stage.
- Studies sequenced so the cheapest, highest-risk questions are answered first.
- A realistic timeline for approvals and construction.
- A budget that separates site work, building, and soft costs.
Where to start
Each study has its own page, including environmental assessments, title and survey reviews, land development requirements, and opinions of probable cost. If you have a parcel under contract or under consideration, contact PH&C and we will outline the studies worth paying for first.
