One Hour Consultation

A focused hour with an urban planner about one property or one issue. You tell us about it, we do the background research, then we talk through the potential and your options.

Not every question is ready for a proposal. Sometimes you want to know what a property can do before you commit to anything. That is what this hour is for.

Who it is for

  • You think a property could be rezoned, but you are not sure.
  • You own a site and want to know what you could build on it.
  • You are thinking about buying and want a planner's view of the potential first.
  • You have received a decision or a letter from the municipality and want to understand your options.

How it works

  1. Tell us about it. Pick a time and pay the $250 + GST fee. Then complete a short intake form with the address, your goal and any documents you have.
  2. We research. Before we meet, we review the zoning, the statutory plans, local policy and any history on the site.
  3. We talk it through. For one hour on Google Meet, we go through what we found, the potential of the site and your options.
  4. You get a summary. After the meeting, you receive written notes on the potential and the next steps.

Consultation or proposal?

If you already know the outcome you want, such as a rezoning to a specific district, a development permit or an appeal, you do not need a consultation. Request a proposal and we will send you a work program and fee estimate at no charge.

The consultation is not a feasibility study. It is a focused conversation that tells you where you stand and what the realistic options are. If you need a detailed written analysis, we can prepare a proposal for a feasibility study or due diligence report.

We take care of
the whole process.

Problem solvers and team builders. We read the policy, build the case, assemble the right team and manage your file from the first conversation to the final decision.
