What is a feasibility study?
A feasibility study is a preliminary investigation conducted at the early stages of a construction project to determine whether it is viable. These appraisals can be beneficial for complex and large building developments, identifying potential costs and expected returns.
Feasibility studies assess financial, operational, technical and legal aspects. By determining these factors, you gain a clearer understanding of whether your venture is worth pursuing.
