About SiteKillSwitch
SiteKillSwitch exists to help developers make better early-stage decisions - and to walk away from the wrong sites before commitment makes that difficult.
Most failed development projects don’t fail because of poor execution. They fail because early assumptions were accepted without being properly tested.
Legal constraints, servicing limitations, approval risk, and market realities are often present from the outset, but identified too late to change course.
SiteKillSwitch was created to address that gap. It is a structured, evidence-based decision system designed to expose risk early and force clear outcomes before commitment occurs.
The goal is not to advance deals.
The goal is to stop the wrong ones early.
About the Founder
SiteKillSwitch was created by Edward Kyle, a professional civil and structural engineer with nearly two decades of experience working across infrastructure, residential, industrial, and property development projects in multiple jurisdictions.
Edward has worked on projects ranging from subdivisions and multi-family developments to industrial facilities, airfields, and large-scale infrastructure. His background spans both consulting engineering and development-facing roles, giving him direct exposure to how early technical assumptions translate into downstream risk.
Through years of reviewing sites, advising developers, and being involved in development decisions himself, a consistent pattern emerged:
most problematic projects showed clear warning signs early — but lacked a disciplined framework to force action when it still mattered.
SiteKillSwitch is the result of that experience. It reflects a practical, conservative approach to early-stage decision-making grounded in real projects, real constraints, and real consequences.
