With any prospective venture be it large or small, residential or commercial, there are many factors to be considered from inception through to completion. Early and detailed analysis of the various issues that will have an influence on the project is essential to establish the feasibility of the scheme under consideration.
Kirkby and Diamond as a multi-disciplined firm of Chartered Surveyors can offer a comprehensive service to their clients when it comes to undertaking feasibility studies.
In identifying potential sites the Commercial Agency Department with their extensive knowledge of the local market and network of contacts are ideally situated to identify prospective development opportunities.
For the larger or smaller but complex schemes, expert advice can be provided by the planning team based in Milton Keynes. With their detailed knowledge and understanding of planning law the potential of a site can be realised. Any obstacles to proposals can be identified at an early stage thereby avoiding unnecessary abortive costs. By identifying the necessary strategies required, their impact on time scale and finance can be evaluated early on.
The Building Surveying Department will provide early advice on other potential factors such as compliance with the Building Regulations, boundary issues, party wall matters and the like, all of which can influence the viability of a scheme. They are also able to prepare CAD (Computer Aided Design) drawings of the proposals at an early stage to facilitate consultation with the Local Authority and other interested parties.
Early cost advice is essential in any feasibility study both, at inception and during the procurement process. The Quantity Surveying Department will provide such early cost advice as part of the feasibility report and re-evaluate the proposals as they develop.
When disposal of the completed scheme is proposed, Kirkby & Diamond’s team of commercial valuers are able to evaluate the completed scheme whether it be for disposal on a leasehold or freehold basis. The firm’s valuers have extensive knowledge of the local market.
