Founding pilot · BC commercial property

Turn a shortlisted site into a decision-ready evidence file.

For owner-users, investors, developers, lenders, and advisers who need a clearer public-record picture before commissioning—or coordinating—the full professional diligence stack.

01 / SITE RECORD

Public facts worth establishing

  • Parcel identity, governing municipality, public zoning source, assessed classification, and available tax or permit records within scope.
  • Relevant policy, development, hazard, transportation, servicing, environmental-registry, and municipal process signals that can be verified.
  • A source ledger that shows exactly where each public finding came from and when it was checked.
02 / USE CASE

Questions specific to the intended use

  • Use, access, loading, parking, servicing, building, occupancy, power, expansion, and approval questions organized around the client's stated plan.
  • Client-supplied operating facts clearly separated from public evidence.
  • No implied confirmation that the intended business, tenancy, construction, financing, or insurance arrangement is permitted or viable.
03 / EXCEPTIONS

The diligence handoff

  • A prioritized exception register showing what could materially change the acquisition or site-selection decision.
  • Document requests and questions grouped for counsel, broker, lender, appraiser, surveyor, engineer, environmental consultant, insurer, tax adviser, municipality, or utility.
  • A concise record that can anchor the next diligence meeting without pretending to replace it.
The product boundary

Earlier clarity. Not substitute diligence.

  • Public evidence, client-supplied facts, assumptions, and unresolved items remain visibly distinct.
  • No proprietary sale, lease, listing, title, tenant, utility, or environmental data is implied unless it is lawfully obtained and explicitly included.
  • No automated score converts missing evidence into certainty.
  • No appraisal, brokerage, legal, engineering, environmental, tax, mortgage, insurance, surveying, code, or municipal confirmation is provided.
  • A stale, conflicting, unavailable, or ambiguous source produces an exception—not a guessed answer.

PILOT A / FROM $395 CAD

Site evidence screen

For one shortlisted BC commercial property and one defined use or acquisition question. Includes the public-record file, explicit source gaps, and a professional question list.

PILOT B / FROM $795 CAD

Acquisition exception file

Adds a client-supplied document inventory, a structured exception register, and a diligence-meeting handoff. It does not certify or interpret documents outside Parcel & Key's research scope.

SEPARATELY SCOPED

Complex portfolios and specialist records

Multi-property comparisons, licensed data, title documents, environmental records, private agreements, detailed financial models, and specialist coordination are accepted only after source rights, privacy, scope, and professional boundaries are confirmed.

Designed for a live deal team

One evidence trail. Four useful handoffs.

The founding pilot is intentionally narrow. It should reduce duplicated searching and expose the next expensive unknown before the team mistakes it for a settled fact.

OWNER-USER

Can this site support the operation?

Organize the use, access, servicing, occupancy, improvement, and municipal questions before committing to a location.

INVESTOR

What could change the thesis?

Keep acquisition assumptions, public evidence, missing records, and professional conditions in one prioritized exception register.

LENDER

Which facts remain unsupported?

Surface source gaps and client assumptions early. The file is coordination evidence, not a lending decision, appraisal, or security opinion.

ADVISER

Where should specialist time begin?

Give counsel, brokers, engineers, environmental consultants, appraisers, and other professionals a cleaner question set and traceable source trail.

Request commercial-pilot availability

Describe the job without sending deal documents.

Use “data licensing or custom scenarios” for a defined site file, or “other commercial inquiry” for a portfolio scope. Do not submit an address, agreement, title document, tenant information, financial record, or other confidential deal material here. No payment is taken.

Commercial boundary

Parcel & Key is an independent publisher and first-party research provider. It does not represent a buyer, seller, landlord, tenant, lender, municipality, brokerage, or professional adviser. Inquiry submission does not create an engagement, reliance right, agency relationship, referral authorization, or obligation to proceed.

Need a residential or small-development file?

Use the Development Decision File.

It is designed for an adopted-rule, municipal-pathway, multiplex, or transparent development-scenario question.

Before you inquire

Three boundaries worth understanding.

Is a Commercial Site Decision File a property condition or environmental report?

No. It organizes available public evidence, client-supplied facts, assumptions, exceptions, and the questions that belong with the appropriate professionals. It does not replace a title opinion, appraisal, survey, environmental site assessment, building-condition assessment, zoning confirmation, engineering report, tax advice, insurance review, or legal due diligence.

Does Parcel & Key provide sale or lease comparables?

Only when the necessary data is lawfully available for the agreed use and its source and limitations can be disclosed. The founding pilot does not promise proprietary listing, sold, rent, or transaction data. Client-supplied figures remain labelled as client supplied.

Can the file be relied on to waive a purchase condition?

No. It is an early decision-support and diligence-coordination product. Contract conditions and professional reliance should be addressed with the client's lawyer, broker, lender, environmental consultant, engineer, insurer, tax adviser, and other accountable professionals as applicable.
