Building Feasibility Studies

We understand that every successful project begins with a solid foundation, both literally and figuratively.

Our Building Feasibility Studies are designed to provide you with the clarity and confidence you need to move forward with your project.

Whether you’re considering a new build, refurbishment, or conversion, our team of expert structural engineers is here to guide you through the process.

Typical Projects We Support

Refurbishments and Conversions

Refurbishments and Conversions: Transforming existing buildings into functional, modern spaces.

New Builds

Evaluating the feasibility of developing new buildings on undeveloped sites, including foundation design, ground conditions and structural layouts.

Extensions

Evaluating the feasibility of adding new spaces to existing structures, such as additional storeys, basements as well as expanded plan forms

What is a Building Feasibility Study?

A Building Feasibility Study is the first step in assessing whether your project is viable. It involves a detailed examination of the site, the building (if existing), and the project’s requirements to identify potential challenges, opportunities, and solutions. Our goal is to help you understand the structural implications of your vision, ensuring your project is both practical and cost-effective.

Our Approach

We take a thorough and methodical approach to every feasibility study, combining technical expertise with a deep understanding of your needs. Here’s how we do it:

1: Initial Consultation

We start by discussing your project goals, budget, and timelines.

Our team will gather any existing documentation, such as drawings, surveys, or planning permissions.

2: Site Visit

A member of our structural engineering team will visit the site to assess its condition and constraints.

We’ll identify key factors such as ground conditions, existing structures, access, and utilities.

3: Structural Assessment

For existing buildings, we conduct a detailed structural assessment to evaluate the current condition and identify any defects or limitations.

Keen to minimise impact on the climate, we’ll use our knowledge and experience to consider re-use, re-purposing, strengthening and refurbishment of the structure which can facilitate the project at reduced cost and reduced environmental impact and deliver faster than demolish and rebuild – a true win-win-win.

For new builds, we consider the site’s suitability for construction, including soil conditions and load-bearing capacity.

4: Options Development

Based on our findings, we’ll develop potential solutions and approaches tailored to your project.

We’ll highlight the structural feasibility of your ideas, along with any structural risks or challenges that may arise.

5: Cost and Timeline Estimation

We can provide a high-level estimate of costs and timelines for the structural aspects of your project, or work with your cost consultant to allow estimates to be made We can assist with embodied carbon calculations to provide comparable climate change impacts of different options to help you align with your business’s environmental policy.

This helps you make informed decisions before committing to the next stage.

6: Comprehensive Report

Our findings are documented in a clear, concise report.

This includes structural recommendations, key considerations, and next steps.
