Feasibility Studies 

A well-executed feasibility study is the foundation of any successful development or investment. At Clarke & Watt, our studies assess the full picture; technical, financial, legal, and operational, to ensure our clients have all the insight they need before committing to a project.

Each feasibility study is tailored to the specific needs of the project, whether you’re considering a residential development, commercial build, or industrial upgrade. We begin by understanding your objectives, and then we evaluate the practicalities of achieving them within your budget, timeframe, and site constraints.

Our feasibility study services typically include:

• Site analysis and planning constraints
   

• Initial design concept review
   

• Assessment of buildability and construction methodology
   

• Cost forecasting and financial appraisals
   

• Evaluation of planning policy and regulatory requirements
   

• Risk identification and mitigation strategies
   

• Resource and infrastructure considerations
   

• Delivery programme and project phasing
   

For more complex developments, we offer a technical feasibility study, which involves a detailed review of engineering challenges, site-specific risks, and compliance with technical regulations. This includes ground conditions, access logistics, drainage strategy, and energy efficiency measures, ensuring the project is not only viable but future-proof.

Each feasibility study report we produce is structured, practical, and backed by industry expertise. We clearly set out the constraints, opportunities, and next steps so you can move forward with confidence. Whether the result confirms viability or highlights significant challenges, our goal is always to provide honest, actionable insight that supports good decision-making.

At Clarke & Watt, we act as trusted advisors throughout the early stages of development. Our multidisciplinary knowledge across surveying, planning, and project management allows us to offer holistic guidance on the best way to move forward. With our support, clients gain a clear understanding of the risks and potential returns involved, allowing them to refine proposals, secure funding, or step away from unviable investments before time and money are wasted.
