Buildable screens every parcel in your county and shows you the few with a real project hiding inside—before you spend time driving, calling, or underwriting.
Richmond metro analyzed today. One protected builder per county.
Every locality starts as every lot. Each pass takes almost all of them away, so your time lands only on the survivors.
A listing shows what is there today. Buildable finds the gap between the existing property and what its zoning, dimensions, and market economics may support.
Split the lotEnough area and frontage may support an additional homesite.
Add units by rightA single-family property may qualify for a duplex or attached-density play.
Redevelop the siteThe current structure may use only a fraction of the parcel’s legal and economic potential.
Traditional listing filters cannot surface this. Buildable screens every parcel for hidden, buildable upside—and the project economics behind it.
Open one property and see the proposed play, the evidence behind it, the leading constraint, and the next step to confirm before you spend time in the field.

Adjust the acquisition price, build cost, and required return. Buildable reranks the parcel and recalculates what the project can support.

Preliminary model using a 1,072 sq ft second home, estimated subdivision costs, and selling/carrying costs. Not an offer recommendation.
Every lot gets the four reads a builder does by hand, run in advance. That surfaces the lot split, duplex, teardown or infill others overlook, and exposes the creek, floodplain, missing frontage or dead building envelope that turns a promising parcel into a wasted afternoon.
Setbacks, minimum lot width, and allowed uses are read from the actual county code. Confirmed rules point back to their source section, with confidence context attached to every standard used in the screen.
Measured building footprints and road frontage, so "you could split this lot" means it physically fits, with a buildable envelope on the far side, not just that the acreage is large enough on paper.
Every lot checked against the FEMA flood maps and the resource-protection, wetland and waterbody layers. A "clean" half-acre that's two-thirds inside a protected buffer gets caught here, before you drive out to it.
Every deal is priced against recent sold comparables and run through the same value model that identified real underpriced purchases in our backtest. The question isn't merely “is this a lot?” It is “does the early evidence justify a deeper look?”
Buildable screened 1,737 real transactions using only the information available when each property was purchased. It surfaced more than eight underpriced acquisitions per month. Eighty-eight percent went on to beat the national gross flip benchmark, with a $152,000 median gross resale spread.
More qualified shots on goal. Better basis. Less time wasted.
This is the acquisition advantage Buildable is built to deliver: a recurring stream of better-priced opportunities, narrowed to the few worth your next call, drive, or diligence dollar.
Backtest details: 1,737 recorded buy-and-resale transactions were scored using only information available on each purchase date, before the resale result was revealed. The $152K figure is gross resale spread before renovation, financing, carrying, and transaction costs. Historical results are not a forecast.
Built for residential builders actively acquiring land in a defined local market—not for people collecting another list of leads.
Best fit: builders with an active acquisition pipeline who want recurring opportunities calibrated to their project types, costs, and required return.

My stepdad builds spec homes in Chesterfield. Like many local builders, he knew his market deeply but still had to find land through relationships, driving, and instinct. I built Buildable to give him the parcel-level screening and market coverage normally reserved for much larger operators.
— Jacob H. Fox, founder of Buildable
The same acquisition opportunity cannot create an advantage for five competing builders. When you hold a county, Buildable does not sell its protected opportunity pipeline to another builder while your territory agreement is active.

Zillow and Redfin help people browse homes. Buildable helps builders decide where to pursue a project. It screens every parcel—not just active listings—against cited local zoning and setbacks, measured frontage and building footprints, flood, wetland and RPA overlays, recent sold comps, and your costs. Then it identifies the potential play, preliminary land price, biggest constraint, and next verification step. They show you the property. Buildable shows you what it could become, what could stop it, and whether it deserves your time.
No. Buildable gives your existing acquisition network wider coverage and faster early screening. It helps you know where to focus your relationships and diligence.
Every surfaced property has passed Buildable’s preliminary screen and arrives with supporting evidence, confidence labels, and a specific next verification step. Your surveyor, engineer, attorney, locality, and internal team then confirm the project before acquisition or filing.
Buildable sells a county to one builder at a time. Another builder cannot buy the same protected territory opportunity pipeline while your agreement is active.
The screen can surface lot splits, duplex or attached-density possibilities, teardown candidates, residential infill, and underpriced opportunities where the local data supports the read.
