Know what the record supports before the project depends on it.
A bounded, source-backed file for one development question. We separate confirmed public evidence from working assumptions, identify what remains unresolved, and show which professional needs to verify the next decision.
01 / ESTABLISH
What the public record says
Governing municipality, applicable public zoning source, and dated bylaw references.
Relevant official policy, transit-area, hazard, heritage, servicing, or development-process signals that can be verified.
Municipal permit routes, fee sources, and published timeline evidence—not a project-specific approval forecast.
02 / TEST
What the assumptions imply
A transparent scenario table for the requested unit, use, cost, or residual-land question.
Visible inputs, sensitivity cases, and calculation notes where a Parcel & Key deterministic tool applies.
No invented parcel fact and no silent conversion of a city-wide rule into a site entitlement.
03 / HAND OFF
What still needs an accountable answer
An unresolved-issues register, ranked by its effect on the decision.
Questions organized for municipal staff, planner, architect, surveyor, engineer, lawyer, lender, tax adviser, insurer, or other appropriate professional.
A dated source ledger so the next reviewer can reproduce the evidence path.
Evidence standard
No source means no affirmative result.
Every material statement is labelled as confirmed evidence, client-supplied information, an explicit assumption, or unresolved.
Each public source carries its publisher, document or dataset name, URL, and review date.
Conflicts and missing records remain visible; they are not filled with an AI-generated conclusion.
Parcel-specific screening proceeds only where the official source stack can support the exact question.
Material changes after the review date require a fresh check.
For a narrow question about an adopted municipal rule, public approval pathway, published fee source, or official timeline signal. Designed to establish the evidence and the next verification step.
PILOT B / FROM $299 CAD
Development scenario file
Adds a transparent scenario model and sensitivity table after the governing evidence is established. Appropriate for an early multiplex or small-project decision—not a certified feasibility study.
SEPARATELY SCOPED
Complex or incomplete files
Rezoning, contaminated-site, title, servicing, geotechnical, code, valuation, construction-budget, tax, and legal questions may require separate records and qualified professionals. Parcel & Key may decline or narrow the request.
Four-step delivery
A written decision trail—not an instant score.
The file is designed to survive a handoff. A reader should be able to see what was checked, what was assumed, and why the next question exists.
01
Define
We reduce the request to one consequential question and agree on the decision boundary.
02
Scope
You receive the included sources, exclusions, delivery expectation, and exact pilot price before choosing to proceed.
03
Build
We assemble the dated evidence, calculations where applicable, assumptions, conflicts, and unresolved issues.
04
Hand off
You receive a concise file and a professional question list. The file does not replace municipal or professional approval.
Request founding-pilot availability
Start with the decision—not the address.
Select “combined purchase decision file” as the closest focus. Do not submit an address, title document, plans, financial records, or other private property material here. If the question fits, any later evidence exchange will have a separate written scope and privacy instruction.
Commercial boundary
Parcel & Key provides first-party research and deterministic decision support. It does not provide legal, planning, architectural, engineering, appraisal, brokerage, mortgage, tax, insurance, environmental, surveying, code, permit, or construction advice. A request is not an order; no payment is taken and no information is shared with a provider through this form.
Research before requesting?
Open the public evidence surfaces first.
The BC Multiplex Playbook, feasibility calculator, and municipal source tracker show the methods this service builds on.
Does a Development Decision File confirm how many units can be built?
No. It records the governing public evidence, assumptions, constraints, and unresolved checks for a defined development question. A current survey, municipal review, design work, servicing analysis, building-code review, and other professional work may still change the practical result.
Can Parcel & Key screen any BC address?
Not automatically. Parcel & Key accepts a parcel-specific scope only when the relevant official records can be identified and checked. It returns an unresolved result when the source stack is stale, unavailable, conflicting, or too incomplete to support the requested conclusion.
Is the pilot price a fixed quote?
No. The published range is a pricing hypothesis for the founding pilot. Parcel & Key confirms the evidence question, included sources, exclusions, delivery expectation, and exact price before the client chooses whether to proceed. The intake form is not an order and takes no payment.
