Underwrite
the property
before you
tour it
Give us an address and as much or as little as you know. StickBuilt returns the estimated after-repair value, what the town's own bylaw likely allows you to build, and the evidence behind both.
The research step
eats the week
Sizing up a property means opening a dozen tabs. Listing sites for what sold nearby. Assessor cards for what is actually there. Land records, plans, and a town bylaw PDF for what you might be able to build. Hours later you still have a guess, and you have only looked at one address.
StickBuilt sits at that research step and does the sifting. You get automated estimates grounded in real data, in one place, so you can tell early which addresses deserve real time and which ones do not.
side by side
With the evidence attached, so the next call is a decision instead of more searching.
What you walk
away with
Our comprehensive reports arrive in minutes as shareable PDFs you can put in front of a partner or a lender.
The number and
its receipts
Tell us the address and as much or as little as you know: renovation scope, current condition, the finishes you have in mind.
The comps agree closely: twelve same-town new-construction sales, and the estimate sits near the middle of them.
What the town will
likely let you do
Describe what you have in mind: an addition, an ADU, a teardown, a subdivision.
Cited to section and subsection, with the overlay districts that touch the parcel listed underneath. Confirm with the municipality before relying on any verdict.
Your reports,
saved as you go
Every report you run is saved to your account automatically, so the work is there when you come back to a deal.
Massachusetts is
our home base
One state, covered end to end, rather than a few metro ZIP codes everywhere.
Where we are now is a starting point, not a limit.
The unit of work is a single parcel, so the method does not change when the footprint does. Opening a market is a data problem, not a rewrite.
How we
get there
Source documents and statistical evidence. No summaries of summaries.
Separate engines,
one state
Our valuation models are trained exclusively on Massachusetts data, with separate engines for single-families, condos, and multi-families, because a Dorchester triple-decker and a Wellesley colonial do not obey the same math. When the local evidence is thin, we say so instead of faking precision.
The bylaw as
enacted today
We maintain and refresh our zoning data on a continuous cycle. Your parcel's information comes from official records, and every answer can be backed up. Determinations are still made by local officials, so the report is built to be checked, not trusted blindly.
Value estimates are generated by statistical models from market data; they are not appraisals. Zoning reports are prepared from official bylaws and parcel records for information only; determinations are made by local officials, so confirm with the building department before you commit.
Outputs are provisional and features move week to week. The Beta Program Terms spell out exactly what that means for testers.
See the workflow
Three worked examples, not a live tool. Pick one to watch the steps a report goes through, then switch between the ARV verdict and the zoning report above the analysis. It shows you what the reports cover, not the app screen for screen; the app is in beta and moves week to week, and the properties and every number behind them are invented for the sake of visualization.
Coming soon
StickBuilt is in closed beta, and it is free for testers while it runs. We will publish plans when we open it up.
