Why Project Feasibility Is the Foundation of Successful Development
Every good building starts long before the first brick is laid. Behind every well-executed project is a critical first step: understanding whether the vision is viable, fundable, and achievable. This is where project feasibility comes in—and why, at Giraffe Developments, we place such a strong emphasis on getting it right from day one.
Whether you're a private client, landowner, or investor, a robust feasibility process is essential to minimise risk, unlock value, and ensure a smooth route to delivery.
What is Project Feasibility?
Project feasibility is the process of evaluating whether a proposed development is practical—financially, technically, and strategically. It answers the key questions before time and capital are committed:
Is the site suitable for the proposed use?
Will the project deliver a return on investment?
Are there planning or design constraints?
What’s the funding strategy?
Can it be delivered within time and budget?
Our Approach to Feasibility at Giraffe Developments
We offer a structured and hands-on feasibility service, built around three key pillars:
1. Viability Reporting
We assess the site potential, planning landscape, and commercial return—providing a clear understanding of risks, constraints, and opportunities. From build cost analysis to resale forecasts, our reports provide the information needed to make informed decisions.
2. Concept Development
Working closely with design teams and stakeholders, we help shape a development strategy that’s not only visually compelling, but practical to deliver. This early input ensures alignment between ambition and buildability.
3. Funding Solutions
Through our experience with joint ventures, private finance, and alternative funding models, we support clients in sourcing and structuring the right funding for their project. The goal is to create a clear path to progress—whether it’s a single home, a mixed-use scheme, or a larger-scale residential build.
Why It Matters
Skipping feasibility, or approaching it lightly, can lead to costly delays, planning challenges, and budget overruns. At worst, it can stall a project entirely. By investing in early-stage analysis and strategy, you reduce risk, sharpen your vision, and gain the confidence to move forward.
At Giraffe Developments, we partner with our clients from the ground up. If you have a potential site or scheme in mind and want to understand its true potential, our team is here to guide you through every step.
