Advisory services
Civic Infill Works performs paid advisory work for homeowners, small property owners, buyers, realtors, lenders, and public and mission-driven partners. The firm is fee-only. It does not earn commissions, kickbacks, referral fees, or sales margins on plan sets, prefab units, construction contracts, financing, or insurance.
01
A short, fixed-scope conversation following the free written diagnostic. Used when the first read raises questions a client wants to talk through before deciding whether to commission a memo.
Start with the free diagnostic →A parcel-specific written memo covering the five feasibility gates: zoning and use, site and utilities, cost exposure, financing path, and implementation sequence. Built so a homeowner can hand it to a designer, contractor, lender, or family member without further translation.
Inquire about a memo →A longer engagement for owners who have passed the feasibility memo and need help sequencing survey, design, engineering, financing, permitting, and construction procurement — without taking on roles the firm does not perform.
Get on the waitlist →02
For prospective buyers (and the realtors representing them) evaluating a property because it “could have an ADU.” A written first read produced on a transaction timeline, covering zoning, site, utilities, plat and title questions, and what a lender is likely to ask.
Read the page →For lenders and CDFIs underwriting small infill or new ADU products: a structured feasibility review used as part of credit and collateral analysis. Built around the questions appraisal, valuation, and inspection alone do not answer.
Get on the waitlist →03
A structured review of a jurisdiction’s ADU program through the eyes of a homeowner trying to use it: where the process works, where it breaks, where the public web pages are clear or confusing, and what would change production. Built for cities, counties, and housing authorities.
Get on the waitlist →A short engagement that translates an interested funder, nonprofit, or employer’s ADU idea into a structured pilot proposal — including eligible parcels, candidate owner profile, financing model, restriction structure, and what would have to be true to responsibly scale.
Get on the waitlist →Process design and content support for jurisdictions, nonprofits, or grant applicants building homeowner-facing ADU navigation services, including first-screen feasibility tools and intake workflows.
Get on the waitlist →Each paid engagement begins with a written scope, a fixed fee, and a disclosure of any reciprocal referral relationships or potential conflicts. The firm declines work where independent analysis is not possible. Construction and licensed trade work are contracted separately with the appropriate professionals.
