A property can look like a great opportunity on paper. Whether it is one depends on details that rarely show up in a listing: zoning, setbacks, buildable area, utilities, site conditions and the approvals the project will need.

What a feasibility review looks at

Depending on the project, we evaluate property conditions and site constraints, zoning and land-use considerations, preliminary development concepts, utility and infrastructure needs, a preliminary construction cost analysis and the permitting path.

Why it comes first

Every one of those factors affects scope, budget and schedule. Understanding them before major design commitments means your architect draws something that can be approved and built for the budget you have in mind, rather than something that needs to be redrawn.

If you have a property under consideration, the most valuable first step is a conversation about what you want to accomplish and what you already know about the site.
