Feasibility Studies
Project viability analysis
Project Viability Analysis
Feasibility studies answer two essential questions before you commit resources: Can your project be built as envisioned on this site? And once completed, will it deliver the expected value? We evaluate technical constraints including structural capacity, site access, topography, and existing conditions. We analyze zoning requirements, building code implications, and permit pathway to determine what Chicago will actually approve.
Our assessments cover the practical realities that determine success or failure. We examine whether the existing structure can support your intended use, what modifications would be required, and whether the cost aligns with project economics. For rooftop projects, we evaluate load-bearing capacity, roof condition, access logistics, and utility availability before you invest in detailed design.
The study identifies potential problems when adjustments cost nothing—during planning rather than construction. You receive clear findings on viability, preliminary cost ranges, permitting requirements, and honest assessment of risks. This foundation of accurate information protects your investment and enables confident decision-making.
