Phase 1 Site Assessment
PRE-SURVEYDesktop soil analysis for civil engineers • USDA NRCS engineering interpretations • Risk flags & cost estimates
Phase 1 Parcel Screening
Screen any US parcel for soil-related development constraints before committing to field work.
What You Provide
- •A parcel boundary (draw, upload, or enter coordinates)
- •Your intended use case
What You Receive
- ✓GO / CAUTION / HIGH RISK screening verdict
- ✓Constraints ranked by severity
- ✓Jurisdiction-specific next steps with costs
- ✓Downloadable screening report
What This Does Not Replace
- •Geotechnical boring / field investigation
- •Wetland delineation survey
- •Licensed engineering design
- •Legal review of zoning / permitting
Need Custom Soil Analysis for Your Project?
This demo shows what's possible with USDA soil data. We can build custom solutions that integrate directly into your workflow — automated reports, API access, GIS integration, and more.
