Development Feasibility

We test your development against cost, income and risk before you commit capital. You get a cost model you can update as the design develops.

What we do

We test a development on cost, funding and return before you buy the land or commit to the design.

Development appraisalWe set land, construction, fees, finance and holding costs against the expected income or sale value.
Cost modellingWe estimate building costs from early drawings or an area schedule and update the model as the design changes.
Master planning supportWe price layout and phasing options so you can compare them on cost.
Value engineeringWe cost alternative designs, materials and systems before you commit to one.
Investment analysisWe test the return against changes in cost, income and programme.
Funding adviceWe prepare the cost information and cash-flow forecasts that lenders and investors ask for.
Procurement strategyWe advise on how to package the work and appoint the contractor.
Commercial due diligenceWe review the cost and contract risks in a site or project you plan to buy into.

Each assignment ends in documents you can file, submit or act on.
