Feasibility Studies
Any building project can potentially be dependent on many different factors which will determine its viability and/or success.
It can be an expensive process to progress design work only to find that a fundamental issue affects the viability possibly leading to the project being cancelled.
A feasibility study as a first stage will investigate and report on all the fundamental factors and issues that can affect the viability so that an informed decision can be made at an early stage on the potential issues involved.
Typically issues such as the chances of gaining planning permission, other regulatory matters, general site and ground conditions, type of development and cost, can be looked at in the early stages. As part of this process the original project brief should be developed to determine which aspects need to be covered in the feasibility study.
Some aspects will be common to projects of whatever size, although smaller projects will necessarily involve less controlling factors and the list will be longer for a larger, more complicated project involving commercial risks to be assessed etc.
On completion of the study, the client should be in a position to make an informed decision on the type, size and cost of the project to be progressed including the likely timescale.
