Feasibility Studies

Designing a building is an exciting undertaking, but there are a number of practical things that must come before the construction phase actually begins. Before you dive in and start planning how you’re going to furnish your future home or office, performing a feasibility study is in order.

A feasibility study is an enormously important step in the construction of a new building, so selecting the right company for the job should not be a decision taken lightly. For a company that brings together years of experience with a keen eye for cutting edge design, Surage and Associates is ideally positioned to carry out feasibility studies in St. Augustine.

What is the Purpose of a Feasibility Study?

A feasibility study is a central part of building design and construction. Once a site has been chosen for the future structure, the study can begin. During this period, the site is thoroughly examined in order to determine whether or not it is a suitable place to construct the building.

Once the study is complete, those involved in the project can make a decision as to whether or not to proceed with that location in mind, based on the information that has been collected. Alternatively, if the study determines that a location is not suitable, the search can then begin for another site.

What Is Factored Into the Study?

There are many things that Surage and Associates takes into consideration when carrying out a feasibility study. Here are just a few:

Budget

Does the site fit the project’s budget? Are there certain factors that could potentially end up costing more than the amount that has been allocated?

Impact

What is the impact that construction will have on the surrounding area? Is there another site that would be better suited because the impact would be minimal?

Potential environmental problems

Is the ground suitable for construction? Can it support a plumbing system, or the weight of a building? Is the site located near any areas known for their environmental issues?

Site history

What was located at the site previously? Was it a similar building, and if so, what happened to it? What relevant information is there about the site’s history?
