Pre-Design & Feasibility Studies

Architectural Design Services: Pre-Design & Feasibility Studies

Successful projects start with thoughtful planning. Barrett Made's pre-design and feasibility studies are a core part of our architectural design services, helping you evaluate every angle of your project before committing resources. Our architecture and construction team will guide you through the early stages with clarity, precision, and care.

What Are Pre-Design & Feasibility Studies?

Pre-design and feasibility studies lay the foundation of any well-executed project. This early phase in architectural planning is about asking the right questions before design begins. It allows us to evaluate whether your project is technically, financially, and legally feasible.

From understanding your site to estimating your budget, our team assesses all the factors that will influence design and construction. This helps reduce risks and roadblocks, save costs, and ensure your vision aligns with any real constraints.

What’s Included in Our Pre-Design & Feasibility Services

Site Analysis: We complete a comprehensive site analysis by examining topography, access points, surrounding context, and environmental conditions. Our architects identify potential opportunities or limitations that could impact the design process.

Planning & Zoning Check: Our team reviews local zoning regulations, building codes, and land-use regulations. This ensures your vision complies with council and state-level requirements before the real work begins.

Budget & Cost Estimations: A key part of our pre-construction service is aligning your vision with your budget. We deliver early-stage cost estimates so the team involved can make confident decisions about scope and feasibility.

Project Needs & Goals Alignment: With an in-depth consultation, we define your goals, layout requirements, and long-term project outcomes. This architecture pre-design step ensures the final design reflects your needs and priorities.

Risk Identification: We help identify potential risks that may arise, such as regulatory delays, environmental concerns, or unforeseen expenses. Being aware of any risks will allow our team to make informed decisions down the line.

Planning Ahead with Barrett Made: Why It Matters

Informed Decisions:  Our feasibility studies give you clarity on what’s possible, what it might cost, and any challenges upfront, so you can make confident, well-informed decisions about your renovation.

Cost Savings: By evaluating feasibility early, we reduce the risk of redesigns or delays later in the process. This keeps timelines and budgets on track.

Streamlined Process: Our integrated approach connects architecture and construction from the beginning. This pre-design alignment leads to a smoother transition into the design, permitting, and build stages.
