Buildability

Buildability scores any U.S. parcel from 0 to 100 using nine factors drawn from public data: zoning (city and county code), flood (FEMA NFHL), seismic (USGS), soil (USDA SSURGO), radon (EPA), wildfire (USFS Wildfire Hazard Potential), utilities, terrain (USGS 3DEP) and lot shape from the county parcel record. Each factor shows its source and an as-of date, and a factor with no data is left out of the score rather than estimated. Constraints such as a flood zone, septic limits or a use restriction cap the score, and factor weights vary by region, though the weights are not published. The free score needs no account. A paid Property Report adds a buildable envelope, risk findings, a lender-ready PDF, a verifiable certificate with a QR code, and an AI assistant that answers questions about the parcel. Cities and counties can use it to inventory undeveloped land, with custom pricing and a free 30-day pilot. Buildability is operated by ReadyPermit.AI, Inc. and launched in 2026.
