Why a Feasibility Study Is Critical to Your Project

Conducting a feasibility study is one of the smartest early-stage decisions you can make. It helps determine whether your project is technically achievable, financially practical, and aligned with applicable codes. At NYA, we deliver feasibility studies that blend local regulations with global best practices. Therefore, clients gain clarity before committing time or capital.

What a Feasibility Study Typically Includes

A professional feasibility study includes multiple types of evaluation. These range from site conditions and soil analysis to design constraints and risk mapping. In addition, we provide early structural system recommendations and cost implications. As a result, you’ll receive the data you need to make informed decisions.

• Preliminary structural systems options
• Zoning and entitlement feasibility
• Environmental and seismic considerations
• Space planning compatibility with code
• Long-term phasing and scheduling options

How Our Feasibility Study Services Support Clients

We work across a variety of project types including civic buildings, commercial spaces, educational campuses, and cultural landmarks. For example, our feasibility studies have supported retrofits in Los Angeles, coastal work in Hawaii, and new development in Canada. Furthermore, we help clients weigh the pros and cons of different delivery approaches—such as Design-Build and Construction Manager at Risk.

Feasibility Study Benefits by Region

Whether your project is located in San Diego, San Francisco, Charleston, Phoenix, or overseas in Egypt or Greece, NYA tailors its feasibility study to match local risks and jurisdictional nuances. In fact, our global reach allows us to apply proven strategies in both developed and emerging markets. Additionally, we consider permitting pathways and cost/time tradeoffs early.
