Routing only. We recommend First Look, Plans Estimate, or Professional Feasibility, list missing inputs, and confirm whether the parcel can be staffed.
Not a professional opinion. Not stamped. Not an estimate.
Free brief, First Look, Plans Estimate, or Professional Feasibility
Four engagements on a specific parcel. Start with a free brief for routing, First Look at $2,495 for a paid kill-or-go screen, Plans Estimate at $7,700 when drawings exist, or Professional Feasibility at $14,900 for the full verification package: licensed architect on allowable uses and massing, plus licensed general contractor on cost and duration.
This engagement is not a construction bid and not financing. Synergy Modular may separately offer to build the project later. The verification packet stands on its own either way.
Enter the parcel address or APN, intended use, and whether drawings exist, then pay the matching fixed fee. For routing only, ask for a free brief by email. Synergy issues a parcel engagement letter after payment. Work starts when that letter is accepted and the files are in.
The four products
One free routing brief and three fixed-fee professional engagements on a named site. Licensed confirmation of what the parcel can support, plus cost and duration from the delivery team. It is not a software score, a zoning extract, or a lender market study.
First Look: $2,495
$2,495 to know if this parcel should be modular, what it roughly costs per foot, and whether to kill it before you spend $14,900.
Expert screen of a named parcel: should this be modular or site-built, what does it cost per square foot at a conceptual class, how many months, and do we kill it or proceed. Written by people who build this work. Not a stamped architect chapter. Not a GMP. Fee credits to Professional Feasibility on the same APN.
Named parcel, typically 5 to 8 pages: delivery-method call (volumetric modular vs site-built vs hybrid), Class 5 cost as dollars per square foot and a dollar range, duration as a month band (conceptual, labeled as such), what the zoning envelope appears to allow at first-look depth, and go / restructure / stop plus the three things that would change the call.

Plans Estimate: $7,700
You know what you want to build, we'll tell you how much it will cost and when it will be done.
Requires drawings. A licensed or properly registered general contractor authors a cost opinion and a duration opinion for that set. The estimate class follows the completeness of the drawings. Not architect massing. Not a GMP. Do not buy this SKU without usable drawings.

EXAMPLE ONLY · not for reliance
Professional Feasibility: $14,900
We'll tell you what you can build, how much it will cost, when it will be done.
The full verification package for a named parcel. Industry-standard execution packet for Investment Committee diligence: a licensed architect in the project jurisdiction authors allowable uses and massing (planning and zoning review, confirmation with the city or county when the study requires it, and initial massing), and a licensed or properly registered general contractor authors cost and duration for that massing.
Compared with the rest of the ladder: Free brief is routing only. First Look ($2,495) is a paid screen. Plans Estimate ($7,700) is drawings-only cost and duration. Professional Feasibility ($14,900) is the full architect-plus-GC verification package.
Excludes market study, appraisal, Phase I, and construction contract. Keep those chapters separate when financing requires them.

Who this is for
Principals
A principal authorizes the engagement. The packet is written for the owner-developer who will spend next.
Funds and owners
Institutional funds and property owners who need a licensed execution packet on a named parcel, not a software score.
Brokers and agents
A broker, analyst, or agent can assemble the request. The principal accepts the fixed-fee engagement letter.
| Engagement | Buyer | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| First Look ($2,495) | Fund/sponsor with many sites | Paid kill / go screen before drawings or the $14,900 packet |
| Plans Estimate ($7,700) | Owner with drawings | Licensed GC cost and duration on the set already paid for |
| Professional Feasibility ($14,900) | Owner with site + IC date | Full architect-plus-GC verification packet |
Three money paths
- Fund/sponsor with many sites: First Look × N, kill most, Professional Feasibility on survivors.
- Owner with drawings: skip First Look, Plans Estimate.
- Owner with site + IC date: skip the ladder, $14,900.
Who this is not for
| Not this engagement | What to do |
|---|---|
| Broker fishing, no named principal | Free brief only. Name a principal or stop. |
| Software-only (TestFit, Buildability, or a zoning extract) | Those tools do not produce a licensed-architect confirmation of allowable uses and massing, or a licensed-GC opinion of cost and duration. |
| Lender wanting rents, cap rate, or SBA | Commission an unaffiliated market or financial study. Place it next to this packet if you also need execution verification. |
| Just curious | Ask for a free brief. |
Want a GMP or construction bid?
If you want a GMP or a construction bid, you are the customer we want. Professional Feasibility at $14,900 (and First Look / Plans Estimate) is not a GMP and not a construction contract. Engage the right SKU for where you are now (First Look to screen, Plans Estimate if drawings exist, Professional Feasibility for the Investment Committee binder). When you are ready for a bid or GMP, Synergy opens a separate construction engagement letter. Start on this host; do not wait.

How this reads
How funds should read this
Professional Feasibility is the standard verification packet institutional capital should bring into the Investment Committee binder for a named parcel: licensed architect confirmation of allowable uses and massing, plus licensed GC cost and duration. When financing requires a separate third-party market or financial study, commission that study separately and place it next to this packet. This is an execution packet from the delivery team. It is not a substitute for an unaffiliated market or financial feasibility study.
How this is different from TestFit, Buildability, or a zoning extract
Those tools do not produce a licensed-architect confirmation of allowable uses and massing, or a licensed-GC opinion of cost and duration.
What goes in the verification packet
Professional Feasibility is the execution chapters for a named parcel: licensed architect on allowable uses and massing, plus licensed or properly registered general contractor on cost and duration. Other Investment Committee chapters stay with unaffiliated specialists when financing or policy requires them.
Synergy fills (Professional Feasibility, $14,900)
- Allowable uses confirmation for the named parcel (licensed architect in the project jurisdiction).
- Initial massing consistent with that confirmation (same architect chapter).
- Cost opinion for that massing (licensed or properly registered general contractor).
- Duration opinion for that massing (same GC chapter).
- Execution go / restructure / no-go inputs the sponsor can place next to their own Investment Committee memo.
Keep third-party (not in this fee)
- Market demand, rents, and absorption study.
- Pro forma, returns, and capital-stack underwriting.
- Appraisal.
- Phase I environmental (and other specialty environmental).
- Title, survey, and geotechnical.
- Construction contract or GMP.
When financing requires a separate market or financial study, commission that study separately and place it next to this packet. This is an execution packet from the delivery team. It is not a substitute for an unaffiliated market or financial feasibility study.
Which engagement to buy
| Need | Buy |
|---|---|
| Routing only; unsure which product fits | Free brief ($0, email) |

| Cost and duration on an existing drawing set only | Plans Estimate ($7,700) |
| Full architect-plus-GC verification for the Investment Committee binder | Professional Feasibility ($14,900) |
| Software massing or zoning extract only | Not Synergy; use those tools, then return if you need licensed chapters |
| Lender-oriented market or financial feasibility only | Unaffiliated market/financial firm; Synergy packet is complementary when you also need execution verification |
| Want a GMP or construction bid | Engage the right SKU now; packet is not a GMP; construction engagement letter when you want the bid |

Questions principals ask
Can we get a professional feasibility study on a parcel in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Seattle, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Austin, or Dallas?
Yes, when intake can staff that parcel. Those MSAs sit in live states for this engagement. Same packet, same fees. Send the address or APN to info@synmod.com and request a free brief at $0, First Look at $2,495, Plans Estimate at $7,700 when drawings exist, or Professional Feasibility at $14,900. First Look credits to Feasibility on the same site. Or request a Plans Estimate at $7,700 when drawings exist, or a free brief when you only need which engagement fits.
What about San Diego, Orange County, the Bay Area, Sacramento, Reno, Provo, Bellevue, Spokane, Houston, San Antonio, Tucson, Billings, or Bozeman?
Same rule. If the parcel is in a live state above, request the engagement. We confirm staffing before the letter goes out.
What about Portland, Denver, or Jackson Hole?
Oregon, Colorado, and Wyoming are in process. Ask. Do not assume they are live until intake says both chapters can be staffed.
What is the free brief?
Routing only, at $0. It recommends First Look, Plans Estimate, or Professional Feasibility, or says the parcel cannot be staffed. It is not a professional opinion. Email info@synmod.com.
We already have drawings. Is that Plans Estimate?
Yes. Plans Estimate at $7,700 is the licensed GC cost and duration opinion for an existing drawing set. It is not architect massing and not a GMP. If you need uses and massing as well, request Professional Feasibility at $14,900.
How is this different from TestFit, Buildability, or a zoning extract?
Those tools do not produce a licensed-architect confirmation of allowable uses and massing, or a licensed-GC opinion of cost and duration.
Can our broker or an agent open this?
Yes. A broker or buyer’s agent may start the fixed-fee engagement: send the parcel (address or APN), intended use, whether drawings exist, and which product, then create the bill in Checkout (or the invoice path that captures the parcel). The principal confirms payment in Stripe Link or Checkout, or accepts the parcel engagement letter. Work begins when that letter is accepted and required materials are in hand.
What does Professional Feasibility put in an Investment Committee binder?
Licensed architect confirmation of allowable uses and massing for a named parcel, plus licensed or properly registered general contractor opinions of cost and duration for that massing. It is an execution verification packet from the delivery team. Place any required third-party market or financial study next to it. It does not replace that study.
What does the $14,900 fee exclude?
Market study, appraisal, Phase I environmental, title, survey, geotechnical, pro forma underwriting, and construction contract or GMP. Those chapters stay with the specialists your financing or policy requires.
When should we buy First Look, Plans Estimate, or Professional Feasibility?
Free brief ($0) is routing only. First Look ($2,495) is a paid screen: modular vs site-built call, conceptual cost per square foot and month band, and kill or proceed before the $14,900 packet. Plans Estimate ($7,700) is drawings-only licensed GC cost and duration (not massing, not a GMP). Professional Feasibility ($14,900) is the full architect-plus-GC verification package for a named parcel.
Does payment approve the project or financing?
No. Payment covers the fixed fee for the selected engagement. Synergy still issues a parcel engagement letter. Work begins when that letter is accepted and required materials are in hand. Payment does not approve the project, financing, or entitlements.
How is this different from a market or financial feasibility study?
Those studies address demand, rents, absorption, and returns. Professional Feasibility addresses what the parcel can support in use and massing and what that massing costs and takes to build, authored by licensed professionals. Buy both when your IC process needs both chapters.
We want a GMP. Is that Professional Feasibility?
No. The $14,900 packet is not a GMP and not a construction contract. Engage First Look, Plans Estimate, or Professional Feasibility for where you are on the parcel now. When you want a bid or GMP, Synergy opens a separate construction engagement. Start here.
