From brief to buildable: what a good feasibility study answers

From brief to buildable: what a good feasibility study answers

Zoning, plot efficiency, cost per square metre and programme risk — the four questions a client should have answered before design begins.

A feasibility study is not a formality. It is the cheapest moment in the project to discover that the brief and the plot disagree.

We test four things: what the regulations permit, what the plot can efficiently hold, what the programme costs at today's rates, and where the delivery risk sits. Each answer arrives with a range, not a single optimistic number.

Clients who spend four weeks here routinely save months later. The study becomes the reference the whole team returns to when scope drifts.
