The preconstruction suite

Four products. One project record.

Start anywhere. Each product stands on its own, and each one feeds the next — your property, scope, and documents carry forward so you never re-enter them.

Design Concept

Turn a project idea into a property-specific concept, layout direction, and scope you can act on.

Who it's for

Homeowners and contractors who know roughly what they want but need it made concrete before spending on drawings.

What you provide

• Project type and goals
• Service-specific photos or video
• Measurements, plans, or address when available

What you get

• Project-specific concept visualization
• Preliminary layout or plan direction
• Scope and material direction
• Planning cost band
• Permit-path and professional-review flags

Concepts are preliminary design direction. They are not construction documents and do not replace licensed architectural or engineering services.

Estimation

A documented, trade-by-trade cost plan with the assumptions, exclusions, and confidence level written down.

Who it's for

Owners validating a budget, contractors pricing work, and anyone who needs a cost plan a lender or partner will read.

What you provide

• Project location and scope
• Plans, photos, or measurements
• Finish level and target schedule

What you get

• Trade-by-trade cost breakdown
• Material and labor planning ranges
• Quantity and scope assumptions
• Regional cost reference basis
• Allowances, exclusions, and risk notes

An estimate is a priced opinion based on the stated scope and assumptions. It is not a bid, a contract price, or a guarantee of construction cost. Professional review is included only on the reviewed tier.

First-hour summary; full site plan in 2–5 days

Site Plan

Understand the parcel — constraints, buildable area, and what fits — before design or permits.

Who it's for

Anyone adding to, subdividing, or building on a property, and developers screening a site before deeper spend.

What you provide

• Property address
• Project goal and approximate footprint
• Survey or site documents when available

What you get

• Parcel and available zoning-source summary
• Preliminary setbacks, overlays, and buildable-area diagram
• One proposed footprint with assumptions
• Source, date, coverage, and confidence labels
• Downloadable preliminary report

Preliminary and not for construction unless professionally reviewed. Not a boundary survey. Source coverage and accuracy vary by jurisdiction, and every finding is labelled with its source and confidence.

Permitting

Identify the jurisdiction, the permits your scope needs, and every document required to file.

Who it's for

Owners and contractors who need to know exactly what an agency will ask for — anywhere in the US.

What you provide

• Project address and complete scope
• Existing plans or sketches
• Known violations, approvals, or agency correspondence

What you get

• Confirm the correct permitting authority and permit type
• Identify every application form, plan, and supporting document required to file
• Verify agency fees, submission portal, and applicant authorization steps
• Sequence zoning, building, trade, and prerequisite approvals
• Deliver a filing-ready action plan that closes missing-document gaps

Kealee prepares permit packages, coordinates with agencies, and assists with filing. Kealee does not issue permits. Approval, fees, and timelines are set by the jurisdiction and cannot be guaranteed.

Available nationwide

Kealee serves all 50 states and the District of Columbia. We identify your state, county, and city from the property address, then use automated jurisdiction data where it exists and manual research and professional review where it does not. Availability is nationwide; the level of automation varies by location, and every deliverable tells you which applies to yours.

Every result shows its jurisdiction, data source, coverage level, confidence, and what still needs confirmation. Kealee never states zoning, setback, permit, code, fee, or approval information it has not verified against a named source.
