For Developers & Investors

Underwrite the density before you tie up the site

The gap between what the zoning map says and what state housing law allows is where deals are won — and where bad acquisitions happen. We give developers the maximum buildable outcome on a site before the offer: every applicable program modeled, the winning pathway cited to code, and the red flags that kill projects surfaced upfront. Comprehensive report, $500, up to 4 business days — across up to 10 adjoining parcels.

How developers use Brick Work

  • Acquisition screening: run candidate sites before LOI, not after
  • Underwriting: base the pro forma on cited unit counts and set-asides
  • Assemblages: model up to 10 adjoining parcels as one project, mixed zoning included
  • Entitlement strategy: pick the program — SB 79, AB 2011, CHIP, density bonus — before design dollars
