For homeowners, brokers & contractors · Hawaiʻi

Find what's under the lot before you sign — then negotiate with it.

KILO gives an individual buyer, their agent, or their contractor a cited, parcel-level read on cultural-resource, water (cesspool + supply feasibility + nearshore quality + federal §401/§404 triggers), and shoreline exposure — fast and affordable enough to run before a single offer. Price the risk into your number, or walk.

What fires for you

ACT 125

The cesspool you'll inherit

Whether the lot carries a documented cesspool — a conversion owed by 2050 that can mean a 9-foot excavation, with its own discovery exposure.

SUBSTRATE

Coastal sand substrate

Documented sand or calcareous soil plus a coastal location — the setting where ground disturbance most often turns up an inadvertent discovery.

SCHEDULE & COST

The hassle, quantified

A planning-grade range of months and cost to full compliance — the implied delay and expense you can put a number on at the negotiating table.

CITED

Reasoning you can hand over

Every conclusion traces to a public dataset and a statute — a read a seller, an agent, or a lender can check rather than take on faith.

SOLAR

Rooftop-solar potential

Modeled annual kWh per installed kW for the parcel via NREL PVWatts — what a rooftop PV system would actually produce, and a real input to resale value and utility-bill math.

The problem

The cost shows up after you've signed.

A buyer signs for a coastal lot. A homeowner permits an ADU, or finally faces the cesspool conversion Act 125 forces by 2050. A contractor quotes the foundation. Only then does the 9-foot excavation, the archaeological monitor, or the inventory survey appear — as a cost nobody budgeted and a delay nobody planned.

For a single parcel that surprise is rarely a six-figure tower problem, but it is still the difference between a project that pencils and one that doesn't — and it is entirely knowable before the contract is signed.

Before the offer

A cited, pre-decision read, without the consultant's bill.

Enter the address or TMK and KILO returns the parcel's cultural-resource band, its full water situation (wastewater + supply feasibility + nearshore quality + federal CWA permits), flood posture, and shoreline exposure — each traced to a public source. A buyer gets it before the offer; a broker runs it for a client pre-listing or pre-offer; a contractor uses it to scope a monitor or an AIS into the bid instead of eating it mid-job.

It is a fast, per-parcel read — not the multi-thousand-dollar consultant engagement — and early enough to actually change the deal.

Leverage

A cited risk read is a number you can negotiate with.

The same lot carries very different exposure depending on what gets built — a sewer-lateral tie-in barely disturbs the ground; a cesspool conversion reaches 9+ feet. KILO shows the score under each plausible footprint and tags the one the parcel's existing infrastructure actually forces:

Worked example · A representative Oʻahu parcelBase score 40 · 2 rules fired

Sewer lateral / minor utility≤2 ft · 81 sq ft · cited38LOW

Single-family foundation4–8 ft · estimate48MOD

Septic + leach field3–10 ft · 375 sq ft · cited50MOD

Cesspool replacementREALISTIC9+ ft · estimate55MOD

A documented, cited exposure — with a planning-grade cost-and-schedule range behind it — is concrete enough to bring to the table: price it into the offer, ask the seller to carry it, or walk.

How it works

Three steps, before you sign.

Run the address

Enter the lot and get its cultural-resource, water (cesspool + supply feasibility + federal §401/§404 triggers), and shoreline read in seconds — no consultant engagement required.

See the real number

The score under the project you actually intend, plus a planning-grade range for the cost and the delay behind it.

Negotiate, or walk

Take a cited exposure to the table: price it into the offer, ask the seller to carry it, or pass on the parcel.
