Feasibility Studies

Feasibility Studies

Before you spend a cent on design, you need to know what your site can actually deliver. Can you build two dwellings? How high can you go? What are the setbacks? Will the numbers stack up? A feasibility study answers all of this — so you commit with confidence, not crossed fingers. It’s the single smartest investment at the start of any project.

Long Beach — development feasibility

Multi-unit feasibility assessment

What you get

Every feasibility studies project includes comprehensive documentation and support.

  • Site constraints analysis (setbacks, easements, overlays)
  • Development potential assessment
  • Preliminary site layout options
  • Planning rule summary and compliance check
  • Orientation and solar analysis
  • Indicative cost range
  • Risk and opportunity assessment
  • Written feasibility report

Why it matters

01

Invest with confidence

Know what your site can deliver before committing to a full design budget.

02

Avoid surprises

Planning constraints identified early prevent costly redesigns later.

03

Clear decision framework

A written report with options helps you make informed decisions about scope, budget, and timing.

Our approach

How we deliver feasibility studies — step by step.

1

Research the rules

We pull every relevant planning rule, overlay, and constraint that applies to the site.

2

Test the site

Preliminary layouts test what physically fits — setbacks, parking, open space, and access.

3

Assess the numbers

Indicative cost ranges and yield analysis show whether the project makes financial sense.

4

Deliver clarity

A written report gives you the full picture — opportunities, constraints, and our recommendation on how to proceed.

Common questions

Answers to the things clients ask most about feasibility studies.

How much does a feasibility study cost?

Significantly less than a full design. Think of it as insurance against investing in a project that cannot be approved or built.

What if the feasibility shows my project is not viable?

That is valuable information. Better to know early than after investing in full design and documentation.

Does the feasibility feed into the full design?

Yes. All the research and analysis transfers directly into the design phase, so nothing is wasted.
