Price construction-loan and builder's-risk exposure with site-level data.

KILO replaces ZIP-code heuristics with a parcel-level read on discovery-driven delay, the cesspool-conversion mandate, and buildable-area loss under sea-level rise — cited, and ready to run across a book.

The problem

A construction loan is exposed to a delay no one underwrote.

A construction loan or a builder's-risk policy is exposed to events that rarely make it into underwriting: an inadvertent archaeological discovery that freezes the project for months, an Act 125 cesspool conversion that forces a deep excavation, a parcel that loses buildable area as the sea-level-rise line moves inland. Today these are priced — if at all — on coarse geographic proxies.

The parcel-level data exists. KILO assembles it into a read you can underwrite against, one loan or one book at a time.

Per loan, or per book

Underwrite the tail, not just the base case.

For any Hawaiʻi parcel, KILO returns a risk band, a confidence breakdown, and a planning-grade schedule-and-cost exposure range — including the discovery conditional: if an inadvertent find occurs, the cost-multiplier and added months that follow. That tail is exactly the risk a construction loan carries and rarely prices.

Every output is cited, so an underwriting file can show its work.

When the math fails the ordinance

A compliant system today can fail by 2050.

HAR §11-62 requires vertical separation between a leach field and the water table. As the water table rises with sea level, that buffer shrinks. For a representative coastal cesspool parcel, KILO projects the separation under each SLR scenario:

How it works

Three steps, per loan or per book.

01
Screen the collateral
Enter a single parcel or a batch; KILO returns a risk band and a confidence breakdown for each one.
02
Underwrite the tail
The discovery conditional — the delay and the cost multiplier if an inadvertent find freezes the project mid-construction.
03
Price accordingly
Bring a cited, site-level read into the underwriting file in place of a ZIP-code proxy.
