Feasibility Study~

This facilitates the development of the preliminary brief, providing a fully-costed platform from which to judge the relative benefits of any proposal or part of the proposal. With our measured survey, we take our Clients’ ideas and produce an all-inclusive scheme from which our Quantity Surveyor can produce an approximate cost estimate to enable us to factor in alternative solutions, from large structural items to finishes and to evaluate the cost implications as the design develops.~
