HomeServicesFeasibility Studies

Do you think your site or property could be redeveloped but not sure on the best or most profitable outcome? If so, then it’s probably worth considering  Feasibility Studies.

Feasibility Studies are a preliminary assessment completed during the very early stages of a project, usually where there is some uncertainty about the available options. The main goals of a Feasibility Study are to:

  • Establish whether the project is viable, primarily financially, but also to consider other restrictions.
  • Help identify feasible options / alternative uses.
  • Develop the business case and project brief.

The Feasibility Study should be presented in a clear way with an obvious conclusion that enables you to decide whether to proceed to the next stage or not. While it does cost money to prepare, in the way of professional fees, these costs are a small fraction of what could potentially be lost if the project is started without due consideration of the options and viability so is well worth it.
