Property Feasibility Analysis Software — Built To Defend A Decision

A property feasibility analysis answers one question: should we commit capital to this property under the assumed scope, and if so, at what price? Every other output — cost, comps, renders, schedule — exists to support that answer.

Buildora IQ's analysis is structured around defending the answer rather than padding the report. Each verdict ships with the evidence, the sensitivity, and the assumption log a principal needs to either approve or push back.

The four bars feasibility has to clear

Buildable: zoning, geometry, environmental constraints permit the scope as proposed. Affordable: total project cost (hard, soft, contingency, fees) is within a defensible band. Exitable: sale or rent value covers cost plus required return at reasonable assumptions. Achievable: timeline is realistic enough that capital structure survives. Fail any one and the verdict is no-go regardless of how strong the others look. That's not pessimism — that's the discipline of feasibility analysis.

Cost as a band, not a number

Single-number cost outputs are how feasibility studies lie to principals. The platform returns a city-calibrated band by build type and quality tier, with soft cost, contingency, and impact fees shown separately. The low end is achievable by an experienced operator on a clean project; the high end is a turnkey contract with finish upgrades.

ROI with sensitivity

ROI is reported as a central estimate with sensitivity bands across cost, exit value, and timeline. A project that's marginal at center may flip to unfeasible at the lower bound — the platform surfaces that flip rather than burying it. Sensitivity defaults are reasonable for residential and small mixed-use; the ranges are editable for projects where the principal wants to model their own conviction.

Side-by-side scenario comparison

Most parcels support more than one build configuration. The platform models scenarios side-by-side — different unit counts, building types, quality tiers — so the verdict isn't 'feasible' generically but 'feasible as a 3-unit mid-tier, marginal as a luxury duplex, not feasible as a single SFR'.

The principal-grade report

Output: a one-page verdict (with appendix) covering parcel, scope, cost band, exit assumption, ROI with sensitivity, BIQ Score, BIQ Confidence, and the assumption log. The format is built for the principal's five-minute review, with the appendix for the analyst's deeper audit.

Use Cases

  • Four-Bar Feasibility Test: Buildable, affordable, exitable, achievable — fail one and the verdict is honest.
  • City-Calibrated Cost Band: Hard cost, soft cost, contingency, and fees stacked transparently.
  • ROI Sensitivity Bands: Cost, exit, and timeline shifts modeled — see where the project flips.
  • Scenario Comparison: Model multiple configurations on the same parcel; pick the sweet spot.
  • Principal-Grade Verdict: One page for the decision, full appendix for the analyst.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from a pro forma?
Feasibility is upstream of pro forma. Feasibility answers 'is the project worth modeling?'; pro forma is the deal-specific financial structure once feasibility passes.
Will the report ever return no-go?
Yes. That's the point of honest feasibility software — any of the four bars failing flips the verdict.
Can I edit sensitivity ranges?
Yes. Defaults are reasonable; the ranges are editable when the principal wants to model their own conviction.
Does the report include market comps?
Yes — recent sales and rents for similar property types within the parcel's market radius, where available.
Can I run multiple scenarios on the same parcel?
Yes, side-by-side, with a sweet-spot highlight.
Is the verdict shareable with capital partners?
Yes — branded PDF, public read-only link, or both.
