Feasibility Studies

Early-stage structural advice for developers and commercial clients, helping you understand a scheme’s potential and its structural implications before committing to detailed design.

Whether considering an extension, loft conversion, redevelopment, change of use, structural alteration or new-build development, obtaining engineering input at the outset can help identify opportunities, constraints and risks before they become costly design or construction issues. Tashi Structures provides practical guidance on structural feasibility, likely construction requirements, foundation implications, development constraints and potential abnormal costs.

Our advice helps homeowners, developers, architects and commercial clients make informed decisions, refine project objectives and maximise development potential with a clear understanding of the structural implications before progressing to detailed design.

Key points

Supports developers and commercial clients
Tests development potential early
Identifies structural constraints and risks
Highlights abnormal and unforeseen costs
Informs viability and design decisions

When you need this

A feasibility study suits the appraisal stage of a development, when you are assessing what a site or building can deliver and how structure influences value and cost. It is particularly useful where maximising development potential depends on understanding structural limits early.

Frequently asked questions

How does a feasibility study support development appraisals?

It establishes the structural implications of a proposed scheme early, helping you understand what is achievable and where structure may affect programme, cost or development potential before detailed design.

Can a study help maximise development potential?

Yes. Early structural input can identify how a site or building might be used more efficiently, as well as the constraints that limit what can realistically be delivered.

How does this differ from your detailed design service?

A feasibility study informs early commercial decisions and outline design, whereas detailed structural design produces the calculations and information needed for construction. The study reduces risk before that investment is made.

Will it highlight abnormal costs?

Studies commonly identify abnormal or unforeseen structural costs, such as demanding ground conditions or significant strengthening works, that can materially affect a scheme’s viability.

What information helps you prepare a study?

Existing drawings, survey data, site information and a clear brief on your objectives allow us to give a more focused and useful assessment.
