Feasibility Study
To determine the feasibility of a project, we analyze the site and plan in the following phases:
Programming Phase
- Meeting with the client to define overall goals and objectives and review preliminary information.
- Preparing a questionnaire specifically for each group within the client’s organization to grasp current space utilization, as well as gain information about future growth.
- Reviewing the questionnaire with representatives of each group to discuss current and long-term space needs.
Site Analysis Phase
- Collecting and analyzing relevant site data including image, sun orientation, adjacent land usage, access, parking, utilities and more.
- Investigating local, state and national building codes.
- Preparing and reviewing various master plan zoning schemes to establish optimal relationships between activities and utilization of the site.
- Refining and documenting the approved Master Plan scheme including site plan, floor plan and exterior elevations to show architectural character and the final program.
- Identifying the first phase of construction and preparing the preliminary cost estimate.
- Preparing conceptual design documents, including: preliminary site plans, color-coded floor plans, concept elevations and sketches, working models and preliminary statement of probable cost.
