Are you in need of some clear and practical advice on how to take the next steps?

Have you covered all the potential risks in your due diligence?

DEVELOPMENT APPRAISAL

WHAT WE DO

Our pre-purchase Development Appraisal explores possibilities, challenges and next steps to assess your chosen site and help you move forward with your project. We carry out architectural research followed by an online consultation to help you to:

  • Work out how to make the most out of your investment

  • Identify the opportunities early to add value to your development

  • Refine your development brief

  • Minimise upfront risk whilst keeping pre-purchase fee spend to a minimum

Our team of experienced architects will research the site to appraise its potential and follow up with a 1:1 online consultation to explore the possibilities and next steps.

OUTCOMES

We will equip you with the expert knowledge to make clear and informed decisions about your site purchase through an understanding of:

  • The suitability of different site uses

  • Site access & orientation

  • Factors affecting reconfiguration / extension

  • Factors affecting density of new additions on site

Our Development Appraisal is completed for a fixed fee, get in touch to discuss your project and we can help you understand your options.

Do you have a site and are unsure of what your development options are?

Do you want to know how to make the most of your site, whilst keeping to time and budget?

FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT

WHAT WE DO

The first piece of work after purchase that we suggest is an architectural Feasibility Assessment, to explore the likely potential and possibilities of a project. This includes:

  • How to achieve maximum yield from a site in comparison to other options

  • The maximum return vs project speed

  • The potential of a project before or after purchasing a site

  • Identify the range of project directions

  • Review the aims and aspirations for your project/site with expert industry feedback

  • How to reduce risk by exploring options available with minimal upfront financial investment

  • How reduce risk by identifying project challenges early on

All our designs begin with a forensic site analysis and we work with clients to develop an understanding of the optimal options for the development, to maximise financial return and design quality.

OUTCOMES

Our architectural Feasibility Assessment is more than just a report, it is an essential tool to evaluate all the key aspects of your project and guide you through to the next stages. Typically, this involves:

  • A site visit to carry out a thorough assessment of the site location and wider context

  • A detailed analysis of the site itself, exploring the site condition, optimal development position, to maximise return and quality of space

  • Research and case studies on similar schemes to those you are interested in

  • Images and example plans of similar schemes for comparison on look and feel and potential yield.

  • Initial designs and sketched plans that demonstrate the potential yield of the site and additional options. We can provide a range of options for the one site for comparison.

  • Example interior design options where required

  • A face-to-face presentation to explore next steps and develop a plan for further development.
