Three report products

Know exactly what the team is purchasing.

ZoneLogic report scopes scale from rapid acquisition screening to detailed municipal and development-process strategy. Each delivers source-backed findings, visible assumptions, project implications, and recommended next steps.

01 · Fast, early-stage acquisition screening

Preliminary Site Investigation

Should we spend more time and money pursuing this site?

Best for: Broker-introduced sites, site comparisons, pre-LOI, pre-PSA, and initial feasibility.

Stage: Site identification and early acquisition screening.

Depth: High-level, focused, and concise.

What’s Included

  • Property, parcel, jurisdiction, existing use, and basic context
  • Existing zoning, relevant future land use, proposed-use permissibility, and major overlays
  • Key development standards and readily identifiable use restrictions
  • Initial entitlement path, likely applications, and hearing indication
  • Water, sewer, fire, roadway, and other major agency identification
  • Apparent access, utility, infrastructure, district, and process concerns
  • Major findings, red flags, open questions, and recommended next step

What’s Not Included

Detailed engineering feasibility, utility-capacity confirmation, drainage calculations, traffic engineering, survey or title verification, environmental review, legal opinions, final fee calculations, and guaranteed entitlement schedules are excluded unless separately scoped.

Common add-ons

  • Planning-Level Development Fee Estimate
  • Development & Entitlement Schedule
  • Fee + Schedule Package
02 · Standard ZoneLogic product

Site Due Diligence Report

What do we need to understand before moving forward with this site?

Best for: A site moving beyond initial screening toward acquisition, concept development, or consultant engagement.

Stage: Acquisition diligence and early development planning.

Depth: Detailed property, regulatory, infrastructure, and process review.

What’s Included

  • Property, parcel, municipality, county, districts, and reviewing agencies
  • Zoning, future land use, proposed-use analysis, overlays, and use-specific standards
  • Setbacks, height, coverage or FAR, parking, landscaping, and relevant signage
  • Entitlements, applications, prerequisites, platting, hearings, and referral agencies
  • Roadway jurisdiction, access, improvements, and identifiable traffic-study triggers
  • Water, sewer, electric, gas, connections, published standards, and capacity questions
  • Drainage authority, detention, water quality, floodplain, and identifiable study needs
  • Fire and building authorities, relevant codes, access, forms, sequence, contacts, and requirements
  • Project risks, open questions, specialist verification needs, and recommended actions

What’s Not Included

The report does not provide engineering design, surveying, architecture, traffic analysis, legal or title opinions, environmental consulting, guaranteed approvals, confirmed utility capacity, final fees, or guaranteed schedules.

Common add-ons

  • Planning-Level Development Fee Estimate
  • Development & Entitlement Schedule
  • Fee + Schedule Package
  • Municipal coordination or pre-application support when scoped
03 · Highest-level base report

Comprehensive Site Due Diligence Report

What will it take to move the project through the municipal process, and what should be resolved before significant design expenditure?

Best for: Complex sites, serious acquisition diligence, entitlement planning, and coordinated development strategy.

Stage: Site control through pre-design and early entitlement strategy.

Depth: Site Due Diligence scope plus deeper process and action planning.

What’s Included

  • Everything in the Site Due Diligence Report base scope
  • Detailed application sequence, approval authority, hearings, referrals, prerequisites, dependencies, resubmittals, expirations, and timing considerations
  • Deeper agency and municipal research with confirmed information separated from assumptions
  • Specific verification questions and response tracking when coordination is included
  • Expanded entitlement strategy, development-process implications, and responsible reviewing agencies
  • Risk and open-item matrix using clear text status labels
  • Prioritized recommended action plan with responsible party, timing, and dependencies

What’s Not Included

The base report does not automatically include a Planning-Level Development Fee Estimate or Development & Entitlement Schedule. It also does not replace licensed engineering, surveying, architecture, traffic, legal, environmental, or other specialist services and does not guarantee outcomes.

Common add-ons

  • Planning-Level Development Fee Estimate
  • Development & Entitlement Schedule
  • Fee + Schedule Package
  • Scoped municipal coordination and meeting support

Optional with any report

Add planning-level cost and timing support.

Pricing varies with jurisdiction, project complexity, available information, reviewing agencies, utilities, calculations, approval path, and required verification.

Universal add-on

Planning-Level Development Fee Estimate

Organizes identifiable municipal, utility, impact, permit, and development-related fees by agency, calculation basis, range, payment timing, source, assumption, and verification status.

Starting at $750

Add to a scope
Universal add-on

Development & Entitlement Schedule

Maps likely phases, duration, sequence, dependencies, parallel activities, responsibilities, milestones, assumptions, and timing risks through an anticipated construction-start milestone.

Starting at $600

Add to a scope
Bundled option

Fee + Schedule Package

Combines both planning-level add-ons with modest bundled savings. Complex projects may require higher pricing.

Starting at $1,200

Add to a scope

Planning-level limitations: Fees and schedules are not guaranteed. Final costs and timing depend on final plans, quantities, valuation, agency determinations, workload, review comments, hearings, resubmittals, technical studies, and current fee schedules.

Secondary and custom scopes

Portfolio, multi-site, and focused support remain available.

ZoneLogic can apply consistent screening criteria across multiple sites or define a narrow custom scope such as concept-plan review, municipal verification, pre-application support, or an executive presentation. These complement the three primary report products.

A municipal-process perspective

Engineering due diligence often focuses on how a property can be designed and serviced. ZoneLogic focuses on what the jurisdiction requires, which approvals and agencies are involved, what open questions affect development, and what should happen before detailed design. The work complements the project team.
