Site Reads are for Toronto property owners considering multiplexes, laneway suites, and other small infill projects. A Site Read is not a full architectural design package, planning opinion, construction estimate, permit submission, or approval guarantee. It is an early-stage development read intended to clarify the opportunity, risks, and next move.

What you get

For $1,500 + HST, Blue Lion produces a Site Read of your Toronto property and reviews the findings with you in a 30-minute call with Evan.

The Site Read includes:

Property + bylaw overview

A first review of the property, zoning context, permissions, constraints, and obvious planning issues.

Zoning + massing logic

A preliminary read of what may fit on the site, including unit logic, built form, access, height, setbacks, and massing implications.

Architectural implications

A design-aware read of how the site might produce good units: light, privacy, entries, verticality, outdoor space, street presence, and overall quality.

Key constraints + risk flags

A summary of the issues most likely to shape the project: access, servicing, existing structure, approvals, neighbours, construction logic, parking, market, or other site-specific constraints.

Simple pro forma

A basic financial model to understand the order-of-magnitude development logic and whether the idea deserves the next level of work.

Recommended next step

A clear recommendation for what should happen next: architect, planner, builder, lender, legal, survey, more due diligence, pause, or no-go.

30-minute review call with Evan

A focused call to walk through the findings, answer questions, and clarify the recommended next move.

The goal is simple: understand what kind of project you actually have before hiring the full team.
