Why CivicScope exists

The feasibility question should come first.

A public project starts as an idea — a new fire station, a school's failing HVAC, a water main that can't wait. But the moment you call an architect or a contractor to ask "what does this cost?", you're in their process — and they're sizing up your budget before you've asked a single question.

Search online and you'll find national averages from years ago that mean nothing for your community, your project, your market. The one question that should come first — is this actually feasible? — has never had a good answer.

CivicScope changes the starting point: a regionally-calibrated cost range in about 30 seconds, before the first call, before the first meeting, while the decision is still yours.
