A pre-design feasibility read that reshaped an over-budget renovation concept into a realistic, buildable layout — before a dollar was spent on detailed drawings.

The challenge
The owners had an initial renovation design, but it was tracking well over budget. They did not want to invest in detailed drawings and further cost estimates until they knew the project could realistically be built for their budget, and on their sloping block.
Our approach
Through a Feasibility Visit, we completed a site visit and worked through the structural realities and cost drivers with the owners — what was pushing cost up, and where it could come down. From there we helped reshape the concept into a more affordable, buildable layout, before any detailed design began.
The outcome
The owners moved forward with a revised layout they were confident in — aligned to their budget and achievable on their block — avoiding the expense of detailing a design that was never going to stack up.
“The feasibility report was detailed, practical and exactly what we were hoping for. It highlighted potential budget risks, identified areas that could lead to cost blowouts, and flagged some of the less obvious costs that can arise during a renovation. We genuinely feel his advice has already saved us from making costly decisions too early in the process.”
