Prior to architectural design, an owner may desire a critical study of potentially viable building sites and existing buildings. A variety of studies may be undertaken.

A market, needs, or business feasibility study tests whether the building type and development is truly ideal for its place and time.

An architectural feasibility study utilizes a preliminary program to determine the scale and scope of the building for its best utilization.

If an existing building is to be adapted to a new purpose, the Architect assesses the suitability of the building to its function, and identifies opportunities and detractors.

The adaptive re-use feasibility study includes a comprehensive assessment of the building envelope, structure, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing components.

Operating and management cost implications are duly included in the feasibility studies, so as to assure the building fulfills its purpose for years to come.

DELIVERABLES: Generally, the Architect provides measured drawings for existing buildings and sites, graphic and written descriptions of viable options, and a detailed recommended plan of action.
