How it works.
One idea, a defined scope and a written review.
- 01Share your idea
Send the property, your main question, and any information you already have. Alexis reviews the fit and replies by email.
- 02Agree on the work and start date
Review the scope, sign the agreement, and pay the fixed fee before work begins. We confirm your start date once the required information and start conditions are complete.
- 03Receive your report
Usually 1–2 weeks from the confirmed start date. Read the findings and send one round of written follow-up questions within seven days.
What is separate from the review?
This is a preliminary research report. It identifies what still needs confirmation.
- Field measurements, a site visit, or surveyed property lines
- Design drawings, engineering, or energy calculations
- Detailed construction pricing or a full utility investigation
- Applications, extended agency follow-up, or plan-check responses
- A title opinion, legal advice, approval prediction, or permit guarantee

Will this tell me whether my idea fits?
It provides a preliminary assessment of your idea against available property information, identifies what may need to change, and states what remains unconfirmed. It is not a guarantee of approval, engineering feasibility, construction cost, or exact site fit.
Do you visit the property?
No. This fixed-fee report is delivered remotely. If the question depends on exact dimensions or existing conditions, the recommendation may be to obtain measurements, a survey, a site visit, or specialist input.
Are design drawings included?
No. Residential Design + Plans is a separate offer, not a required next purchase. If your project is already ready and qualifies, you can inquire about drawings directly.
Will you contact the city or county?
The fixed fee covers online records and the materials you provide. If an answer needs a city response, we identify the question and can quote separately for authorized agency follow-up.
Do I need drawings or measurements to apply?
No professional drawings are required. Share the property address, one idea, approximate square footage, bedrooms and bathrooms, preferred location, must-have features, and your main question. Not sure is a useful answer. Tell us about any sketches, photos, or records you have; supporting materials are optional for the initial review.
How does work begin?
Start with a free inquiry. We confirm the fit, scope, and timing before you sign an agreement or pay. Both parties sign before invoicing. Work begins after the required information, payment, any applicable no-work period and written start confirmation.
What happens after the report?
The next action may be to prepare permit documents, verify a condition, obtain a survey or consultant review, revise the project idea, pause, or stop.
