RIBA Stage 1: Feasability Studies

We can provide site analysis, site appraisal, scheme design and options appraisals for any site or building you are looking at buying or improving.

Feasability studies are often carried out where our Clients, Developers; or Agents working on behalf of purchasers, are looking at the type of scheme suitable for a particular site; either to market, purchase land or buildings they wish to develop.

Feasability studies are also useful when looking at ways to improve existing accomodation stock, improving return, where rental values have started to fall, or take up of all or part of the building has been falling.

We can look at adjusting the builidng layout, adjusting access, splitting the building up into separate suites, replanning the builidng, servicing or improving the external appearance, such as changing windows, doors, cladding, roof format. Introducing renewables, altering the energy soruce.

Feasability studies, and building condition surveys are also a means of determining where parts or all of the building need to be refurbished, reconfigured , extended or completely rebuilt.

Feasability studies are also the means to look at ways of achieving, or improving pedestrian and vehicualr access to sites.

We offer advice on the potential available from sites, for development, refurbishment or conversion projects.

The final solution may be an amalgamation of parts of several options appraisals.

Once we have an agreed option we can move on to Stage 2: Scheme Design.
