What We Offer
Comprehensive analysis services that give you complete clarity on development potential before you commit capital.
Complete Capacity Study
Our flagship service provides comprehensive analysis of what can be built on a property. We examine all regulatory parameters including height limits, constructibility and occupancy coefficients, setback requirements, slope regulations, parking standards, and density limits. The report includes detailed calculations showing maximum buildable area, realistic unit capacity, and parking requirements. You receive complete documentation of development potential with clear explanations of all constraints and opportunities.
Regulatory Plan Analysis
Understanding the applicable municipal regulatory plan is fundamental to evaluating development potential. We provide detailed analysis of the plan regulador comunal, identifying the property's zoning classification and all applicable regulations. This includes not just the basic parameters but also special conditions, pending modifications, and interpretation of complex provisions. We clarify exactly which rules apply and how they affect your property.
Buildable Area Calculation
Knowing the maximum gross buildable area isn't enough—you need to understand the realistic usable area. We calculate both, accounting for circulation spaces, structural elements, and common areas that reduce efficiency. For residential projects, we provide estimates of saleable area. For commercial developments, we calculate leasable space. This gives you accurate projections for financial modeling and project feasibility assessment.
Unit Mix Feasibility
For residential development, the number and size of units significantly impacts project economics. We analyze how many units can realistically fit within the building envelope, considering both regulatory density limits and practical layout efficiency. We can evaluate different unit mix scenarios to help you understand trade-offs between unit count, unit size, and overall project feasibility.
Parking Requirement Assessment
Parking requirements often become the limiting factor in high-density projects, yet they're frequently underestimated in preliminary feasibility assessments. We calculate exact parking requirements based on unit count and size, then assess whether the required spaces can physically fit on the property along with necessary circulation. If parking is constrained, we identify how this affects maximum unit count.
Compliance Verification
If you already have a preliminary project concept, we can verify its compliance with applicable regulations. This early-stage review identifies potential issues before you invest in detailed design work. We check height compliance, setback conformance, parking adequacy, and density limits. Finding problems early saves substantial redesign costs and prevents delays during the permitting process.
Development Scenario Comparison
Different development approaches produce different results. We can analyze multiple scenarios—for example, comparing a mid-rise residential building versus townhouses, or evaluating mixed-use versus purely residential development. Each scenario analysis shows maximum capacity, approximate costs, and key trade-offs, helping you select the most appropriate development strategy for the property.
Site Constraint Analysis
Beyond regulatory constraints, physical site characteristics affect development potential. We identify topographic challenges, access limitations, easements, and other physical factors that impact construction feasibility and costs. Understanding these constraints early helps you assess whether a property's development potential justifies its price and whether the site is suitable for your intended use.
Pre-Purchase Due Diligence
Before committing to purchase, you need complete information about what you're buying. Our pre-purchase analysis provides comprehensive documentation of development potential, regulatory constraints, and any issues that could affect project feasibility. This information supports informed negotiation and helps you structure appropriate offer terms and contingencies.
Tailored to Your Needs
Every property and every project is different. Some clients need comprehensive capacity studies covering all aspects of development potential. Others need focused analysis of specific issues—perhaps parking feasibility for a high-density project, or verification that a particular building design complies with slope regulations.
We structure our services to match your specific requirements. Whether you're conducting initial feasibility assessment for multiple properties, performing detailed due diligence on a property under contract, or verifying compliance of a preliminary design concept, we provide the analysis you need to make informed decisions.
Our reports are designed for practical use. We present technical information clearly, explain regulatory requirements in accessible language, and highlight the factors that most significantly affect your project. You receive actionable information, not just data.
Who Benefits from Our Services
Real Estate Investors
Investors evaluating urban land acquisitions need accurate information about development potential to assess value and structure appropriate offers. Overpaying for property based on optimistic capacity estimates erodes returns. Our analysis provides the objective information needed to negotiate from a position of knowledge and avoid overpaying for constrained properties.
Development Companies
Developers need to understand exactly what can be built before committing to land acquisition and beginning design work. Our capacity studies provide the foundation for project planning, helping development teams structure realistic project programs, estimate construction costs accurately, and avoid designs that don't comply with regulations.
Architecture and Engineering Firms
Design professionals need accurate regulatory information before beginning design work. Our regulatory analysis and capacity calculations provide the constraints within which designs must fit, preventing wasted effort on concepts that can't be permitted. We can also verify that preliminary designs comply with all applicable regulations before detailed design begins.
Property Owners
Landowners considering selling or developing their properties benefit from understanding true development potential. Accurate capacity information supports realistic pricing for sales and helps owners evaluate whether to sell or develop themselves. It also provides documentation that supports marketing to potential buyers or development partners.
