Frame scope and schedule before the contract locks in a timeline you can't hold.
KILO gives architects a parcel-level read on cultural-resource, shoreline-setback, and regulatory exposure at the feasibility stage — so the schedule and fee you commit to reflect what the site will actually demand.
A schedule promised at SD is a schedule you own.
Architects commit clients to scope, fee, and a timeline early — often before anyone knows whether the parcel will trigger an archaeological inventory survey, a §6E-42 review, or a shoreline-setback variance. When that surfaces at permitting, the schedule slips, the fee erodes, and the conversation with the client gets difficult.
The information needed to scope honestly exists in public data. It has just never been assembled at the parcel level, fast enough to use during feasibility.
Know what the site will demand — before the fee proposal.
KILO reports a parcel's cultural-resource sensitivity, the full water picture (wastewater + supply feasibility + nearshore quality + federal CWA §401/§404 triggers), and — for near-shore parcels — how much of the lot is actually buildable today and under each sea-level-rise step. Each output is cited and carries a confidence breakdown, so you can tell a client what is solid and what is provisional.
It tells you when to advise an AIS, a monitoring scope, or a setback variance up front — and build the months and the fee for it into the proposal, instead of absorbing them later.
How much of this lot can you actually build on — now, and in 2050?
Honolulu's ROH §26-1.4(b) sets a shoreline setback, and SMA applications must show the parcel against three SLR scenarios. KILO intersects live SLR-XA polygons with the parcel and reports buildable area at each step:
Three steps, before the fee proposal.
