"uncertainty is the enemy of prosperity"

Despite planning, financial preparation, and plenty of vision, buyers are often not sure how to actually utilize a building or lot. The buying process gets emotional and deals are stymied by the unknowns.

"Will our stuff fit?"

"I heard there is a flood plane around here somewhere?"

“What about wetlands? ...Is the lot even buildable?”

"How much should we budget for renovations?”

“How long will it take?”

“Are we allowed to build a second story?”

“If we make improvements, will the resale value match the neighborhood ?”

In our experience as architects, the mere possibility of encountering zoning issues, environmental hurdles, construction complexities, or challenging feasibility questions can be sufficient to eliminate properties that, upon careful examination, might actually be well-suited.
