A consultant's site feasibility is priced by scope, such as zoning, survey, environmental, traffic and market work, so the honest per-site figure is the quote for the disciplines you order. An AI desk feasibility covers the zoning and economics part first, before you pay for the rest: Titleman, for example, returns what the zoning allows, the schemes that fit and a live Excel with cost and return for each in about half an hour per site at the measured median; it does not print its price on this page and does not replace a survey, a title commitment or an environmental report.

Who does each part of a site feasibility
| Part | Usually done by | Can a desk AI run do it? |
|---|---|---|
| Zoning: district, FAR, height, maximum buildable area | Planner or land use counsel | Yes, each figure with its source |
| Schemes and economics: cost and return per option | Development consultant | Yes, in a live Excel; up to ten schemes, each loser says why |
| Ownership and history: owner of record, sales | Title company | The record, yes; the title commitment, no |
| Prototype fit: building, parking, drive aisles | Architect or civil engineer | Partly: the maximum buildable area on paper; the test fit stays with them |
| Survey, geotechnical, Phase I, traffic | Surveyor, engineers, environmental consultant | No |
The split is the point. The reports in the last row are ordered and paid site by site, and a desk run tells you which sites are worth ordering them for.
What it costs in time: a feasibility run takes about half an hour at the median on production runs in the 30 days to 13 October 2026, with one run in ten above about 75 minutes. Twenty sites, one by one, is about 10 hours of run clock: arithmetic on the median, not a measured batch.
An order of work that spends on survivors only
- Run the desk feasibility on every candidate with the same prototype brief.
- Drop the sites the zoning or the economics rule out, with the reason written down.
- Order survey, title, Phase I and traffic only for the sites that survive.
- Visit the short list with the open items in hand.
A three-site chain screen is worked through on one finished run in screening 20 sites in a week, and the six questions chain teams ask are in site feasibility for a new location. Other tools by job are in AI tools for commercial real estate, and the team page is Titleman for corporate real estate.
FAQ
What does an AI site feasibility include?
Zoning figures with sources, ranked schemes, a 19-sheet live Excel, a memo, a zoning report and the evidence.
How long would 20 candidate sites take?
About 10 hours of run clock at the median, one by one. That is arithmetic, not a measured batch.
Which site reports still need a consultant?
Survey, title commitment, Phase I, geotechnical, traffic and the architect's test fit.
