Feasibility Studies

What is a Feasibility Study?

A feasibility study is a critical first step in assessing the viability of a development. It provides clients and investors with a clear understanding of potential opportunities and risks, including development options, planning considerations, financial parameters and Gross Development Value (GDV) targets.

At this early stage, development scenarios can be explored and tested without the need to fully mobilise the wider design team, allowing informed decisions to be made with controlled upfront investment.

Why appoint Landmark to deliver your Feasibility Study?

Our team has extensive experience delivering feasibility studies, planning appraisals and option testing for national and regional developers across the UK. Combining architectural insight with planning awareness and commercial understanding, we provide clear, evidence-based advice to support confident decision-making at the outset of a project.

Why Collaboration Matters

Our team brings extensive experience working with regional developers and commercial practices, informed by a strong understanding of local markets, planning policy and delivery conditions.

By combining recognised professional standards with local knowledge, and working closely with trusted specialist partners and relevant statutory bodies, we bring together accurate, project-specific data to inform development strategy. This allows us to translate client objectives into clear development and financial models, with options that consider risk, viability and deliverability from the outset.

So, how does this help you?

We assemble focused, project-specific teams to test and develop viable development options at feasibility stage. By drawing on planning, statutory and commercial input alongside early design thinking, we produce clear site appraisals, massing studies and visual material that help clients understand the development potential of a site.

Landmark Design also supports development partners during competitive tender processes, providing architectural and feasibility input to strengthen market and closed-bid submissions for both vacant and occupied sites.

Through clear communication, commercial awareness and a strong understanding of planning and land use, we help clients identify the most appropriate and achievable use of a site within its wider economic and social context. This structured approach ensures clients are able to progress to the next project stage with a clear, informed and robust feasibility appraisal.
