Feasibility Service
01 — About This Service
A considered, personal service — end to end.
Most projects start with uncertainty: is this site big enough? Will planning let us build what we want? What will it actually cost? A feasibility study is a short, defined piece of work that answers these questions before you commit significant money.
We typically deliver a feasibility study in 2–4 weeks. The deliverables are: site analysis, preliminary design options (usually 2–3 schemes), indicative massing and floor areas, planning risk assessment, and a preliminary budget cost range.
02 — What's Involved
The detail that makes the difference.
Every project is different, but the principles are the same. Here's what makes this service work.
01
Site analysis
Constraints, opportunities, light, views, access, levels, planning designations, trees, neighbours — everything that will shape the design.
02
Design options
Typically 2–3 distinct design approaches, each at concept level — enough to judge the overall character and scale of what's achievable.
03
Planning risk
An informed opinion on what the planning authority is likely to approve, with reference to local policy and recent decisions on similar applications.
04
Budget range
A preliminary cost range based on recent comparable projects — not a priced estimate, but a realistic indication of what the project might cost.
03 — Typical Brief
Projects we deliver.
Plot purchase feasibility · Extension options study · New build site appraisal · Planning risk assessment · Project viability review
Every commission is shaped by its specific site, brief and client. The list above is indicative — if your project doesn't fit neatly, we'd still like to hear about it.
04 — How We Work
From first conversation to final handover.
We follow the RIBA Plan of Work, adapted to your project's scale. Three core stages, broken down further in the proposal.
Step 01
Listen & Analyse
Initial conversation, site visit, brief development and a clear written proposal. You know exactly what you're getting and what it will cost before we begin.
Step 02
Design & Plan
Concept design, planning applications, technical design and specification. We work closely with you at every stage — design is a conversation, not a delivery.
Step 03
Build & Deliver
Tender, contract administration and construction. We stay involved on site, protecting the design and solving problems as they arise until final handover.
