A SiteFacts Report is a land due diligence document that assesses whether a specific Pacific Northwest parcel can be built on and at what cost. Reports cover zoning, topography, septic feasibility, utility access, fire codes, and hazard zones. Each report is reviewed by a land development expert before delivery and replaces the manual parcel-by-parcel research builders and buyers would otherwise conduct before committing to land or design.
What Is a SiteFacts Report?
If you’re a custom home builder, land buyer, or realtor in the Pacific Northwest, you’ve probably asked the question: “Is this land buildable?”
On paper, a lot might check all the boxes. But what’s hiding in the slope, overlays, easements, access issues, or zoning restrictions can completely change your timeline—and your budget.
A SiteFacts Report helps you uncover those challenges before you’re too far in.
A SiteFacts Report is turnkey land due diligence—delivered before you commit to building or buying.
This isn’t just a generic summary of public records. It’s a custom-built, property-specific report designed to flag the actual risks, challenges, and extra costs tied to that piece of land.
Each report is personally reviewed by a land development expert with over 20 years of experience in construction, engineering, and feasibility planning. You don’t just get raw data—you get expert interpretation, real-world recommendations, and a clear path forward.

How Is This Different from a Title Company Report?
Title companies are great at telling you who owns the land and whether the legal title is clean.
But they won’t tell you what it’s going to take to actually build on it.

What SiteFacts Reports Cover
A SiteFacts Report includes eight assessment areas: zoning and jurisdiction, topography and buildability, septic and wastewater feasibility, power and utility access, water supply, fire access and emergency code triggers, hazard zones and overlays, and a documentation bundle with links to all source records. Unlike title company reports — which verify ownership only — SiteFacts reports provide a buildability recommendation: a specific determination of what the parcel can support and what site development will cost. Reports are produced for parcels in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Each report is reviewed by a land development expert with over 20 years of construction, engineering, and feasibility planning experience before delivery.
