Site Feasibility Studies

Thinking About Developing a Property?

Before you buy, design or lodge anything with council, talk to us.

A site feasibility study could save you months of delays and tens of thousands of dollars.

Most clients don’t come asking for a “feasibility study”.

They come because they’re thinking:

“I want to make money from this site but don’t know how”
“I’m considering buying this property — is it developable?”
“Can this block be subdivided?”
“What’s the safest way to move forward?”

A feasibility study removes uncertainty and helps avoid expensive mistakes.

Our feasibility studies are ideal for:

Property investors assessing a site before buying
Landowners wanting to develop or subdivide
First-time developers wanting guidance
Mum-and-dad investors building wealth through property

Do I really need a feasibility study?

If you’re spending significant money or relying on council approval, yes. It’s far cheaper than getting it wrong later.

When should I get one done?

Before purchasing a site, or as early as possible once you’re considering development.

We assess planning controls, risks and likely outcomes, giving you realistic expectations, not guarantees.
