You've identified a promising site. Now you need architects to confirm buildable density, engineers to assess site conditions, market analysts to validate rents, contractors to estimate costs, and attorneys to navigate zoning.

The paradox? You need this analysis to know if spending on these services makes sense.

You have 90 days to make a million-dollar decision. Every professional you need measures time in months. This isn't poor planning—it's systematic misalignment between deal velocity and service provider capacity.

Real estate developers, you need a site plan in days. Your architect delivers in 6-8 weeks. This isn't about incompetent architects or unreasonable developers. It's about a structural misalignment that has transformed architecture firms into unwitting gatekeepers of deal velocity.
