Know your financial pathway before you commit capital.

Projects that model compliance after entitlement leave $150K+ in incentive dollars on the table, on average. Run Compass, our financial feasibility report, before your site is finalized, before your unit mix is locked, before the number reaches your investors.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Compass report?

Compass is Buildwiser's financial feasibility report. It pairs your project's code compliance position (baseline code, climate zone, any required solar and storage) with incentive matching (IRA credits, utility rebates, state and local programs) and pro forma impact, run against your actual site and unit mix, not a generic baseline.

How accurate are the incentive numbers?

Compass matches your project against current program rules automatically. Dollar figures are directional until a full engineering review: see your report for the confirmed range.

Do I need an engineer to use this?

No. Compass is designed for developers, GCs, and architects to run themselves, start to finish.

Can I re-run the analysis after a design change?

Yes. Every scenario stays live: swap a spec and the compliance and incentive math re-runs automatically, without starting over.

What happens after I run my first analysis?

Your Compass report saves to your account immediately, with the full breakdown ready to review, export, or share with your team whenever you need it.
