What Is a Construction Feasibility Study?


Before starting a construction project, it’s essential to determine whether your proposed building is compatible with local zoning laws, city regulations, and the property’s terrain. That’s where a feasibility study comes in.

What Does This Study Include?

We assess whether your project meets the necessary requirements by analyzing:
Zoning Laws – Ensuring your project aligns with zoning regulations.
City Regulations – Identifying restrictions or special requirements.
Terrain & Site Conditions – Evaluating the land’s suitability for construction.
Site Plan Development – Drawing a site plan that outlines the building footprint and maximum allowable floor area for all stories.

Submitting an Inquiry to the City

As part of the process, we create a site plan showing:

  • The proposed building footprint

  • The maximum floor area of all stories

  • Any relevant property details

This site plan is then submitted to the city as an inquiry to receive feedback from city planning officials. Their response helps determine whether the project can proceed as planned or if adjustments are needed.

Does This Inquiry Secure Permit Approval?

No. The final review and approval happen only after submitting a full set of construction plans as part of the official permit application. Final restrictions are determined during this review process.

It’s important to note that the city may provide inconsistent information via email or phone compared to the formal permit approval process. The final decision is made only when the full plans are reviewed.

Why Is This Important?

Avoid Costly Mistakes – Identify potential zoning issues early.

  • Save Time – Get feedback before investing in design and permits.

  • Plan with Confidence – Know exactly what’s possible on your lot.
