Feasibility Study

(Stage A1 – NGA | RIBA Stages 0 - 2)

Every successful project starts with a well-structured plan. Our Feasibility Study is a focused first step that helps you make informed decisions before progressing into the more involved and time consuming design stages.

This stage is about assessing viability, constraints and opportunity, allowing you to make informed decisions on how to proceed.

This initial stage includes:

• Feasibility Assessment

  • Review of site constraints, planning history, and local policies.

  • Assessment of what is achievable within your property.

  • Specialist guidance for listed buildings and conservation areas or local estates such as The Crown or Grosvenor Estates.

• Planning & Regulatory Guidance

  • Overview of planning permission requirements.

  • Advice on permitted development rights where applicable.

  • Identification of any heritage, conservation, or policy restrictions.

• Budget & Programme Estimation

  • Outline budget cost

  • Outline timings for the project

• Consultant & Approval Requirements

  • Identification of key consultants needed (e.g., structural engineers, heritage specialists).

  • Advice on surveys and technical reports required.

  • Overview of party wall or other legal considerations.

• Client Support

  • A meeting to discuss ideas, refine the brief, and understand exactly what you need from the scheme for your life and goals.

  • Ongoing dialogue to ensure the feasibility study aligns with your needs and expectations.

  • Clear communication of findings, recommendations, and next steps.

• Project Roadmap & Next Steps

  • Summary of findings, sketch plans, precedent reference images

  • Outline of the next stages and how to proceed.

  • Clarity on timelines, approvals, and the transition to concept design and the later stages.
