What Every Report Covers

One report answers the four questions every developer needs answered before committing capital to a parcel.

Slope %
Terrain classified for buildability

Every square metre of your parcel classified against CFIA slope thresholds.

SETENA
Trigger pre-screen included

Know your EIA category before engaging a consultant.

Utilities
ICE + AyA proximity

Power and water connection distances and estimated cost ranges.

24hr
Feasibility report

Full buildability and infrastructure report in one business day.

Development Feasibility Services

Buildable Zone Analysis

LiDAR-derived slope map with INVU/CFIA slope thresholds: 0–15% buildable, 15–30% restricted, 30%+ prohibited. Buildable area calculated in m² and as a percentage of total parcel.

  • 5 cm slope model
  • CFIA slope class overlay
  • Buildable zone polygon (SHP/DXF)
  • Estimated buildable area m²

SETENA Pre-Screen

Environmental impact assessment trigger analysis: development >1 ha requires SETENA D1; proximity to rivers, wetlands, or protected areas escalates to D2; forest clearing requires SINAC permit.

  • Area threshold check
  • Environmental sensitivity rating
  • SETENA form recommendation
  • Forest clearing permit assessment

Infrastructure Gap Analysis

Distance to power grid (ICE), water main (AyA), paved road (MOPT), and nearest town. Estimated connection cost ranges included for budgeting.

  • ICE power line distance (km)
  • AyA water main distance (km)
  • Nearest paved road class
  • Estimated utility connection cost ranges

Site Planning Survey

Full LiDAR topographic survey for site layout. DTM, drainage network, cut/fill volumes for road and pad grading, contours at 0.5 m intervals.

  • LiDAR DTM at 5 cm
  • Drainage and flow paths
  • Cut/fill volume estimate
  • Contours DXF, CFIA-compatible deliverables
