The most important part of your job as a real estate developer is to manage risk.
Do you know how to identify those risks?
The physical and biological features of a site often determine development feasibility more than any other variable.
Things like wetlands, protected species, or steep terrain could negatively affect the economics, developable footprint, or schedule of a real estate project. You’re used to relying on your engineer or consultant to tell you about environmental red flags during due diligence - but that is slow and expensive. Transect introduces a new standard of environmental due diligence. We couple lightning-fast database technology with in-house professional expertise to provide an automated environmental due diligence report in 90 seconds or less.
You probably have to chase 100 deals to find the 1 that works. That chase is costly - the money used to chase the 99 ends up in the loss column. And the time used to chase the 99 is time that could have been spent on profitable deals. Any tool or service that is able to efficiently cut the time or dollars spent on deal pursuit and early stage due diligence is likely to produce significant return on investment.
