What Is a SiteFacts Report? Your Land Feasibility Cheat Code

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.

A SiteFacts Report fills the information gap between buying land and building on it.
