The preconstruction suite

Three planning services. One project record.

Estimating is built into the work: concepts and preliminary site plans include a basic planning estimate, while permit-set building plans and full site plans include a detailed estimate.

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
• Basic planning estimate with major assumptions, allowances, and exclusions
• 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.

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

• Project brief, design basis, source register, and assumptions
• Available existing conditions with parcel, access, terrain, easement, utility, flood, soil, tree, and environmental context
• Preliminary zoning, setbacks or BRLs, overlays, coverage, and buildable-area analysis
• Concept layout with proposed buildings or lots, access, parking, circulation, open space, dimensions, and area schedule as applicable
• Preliminary grading, drainage, utility, stormwater, erosion-control, and roadway strategy
• Basic planning estimate with major scope assumptions, allowances, and exclusions
• Separate scaled technical drawing with north arrow, graphic scale, legend, source notes, and preliminary status
• Purchaser guide with confidence, conflicts, alternatives, verification owners, and next steps

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.
