Hire an Architect to Determine Site Feasibility, Save Money

Jan 30, 2016

If you hire an architect, we can work through the site feasibility analysis we are able to look at all the options available based on zoning for a potential building site. From the available zoning options a footprint can be determined along with a preliminary grading plan. This leads to adjustments to parking requirements which impacts the square footage of the building allowed on the site.

We then take all this information and create a grading plan to confirm our findings. This leads to the development of an aesthetic that works for the program and site. All of this site feasibility analysis is done without moving any dirt which allows for maximum flexibility for the property owner. The renderings can be used to market the project before and during construction. When you hire an architect, there is nothing like seeing the solution prior to completion of construction to tell a story.
