Preliminary StudyConcept Definition and Feasibility
The first design phase, where we define layout, massing, and spatial organization to test the potential of a plot or existing property.
What we do
Site assessment
Review of context, constraints, and applicable planning rules.
Massing and layout
Spatial organization and building form on the site.
Plans and sections
Functional diagrams for all floors and key sections.
Area estimates
Useful floor area calculations and initial cost expectations.
3D studies
Visual material to validate the design direction.
Basis for planning
A solid foundation for the next approval and technical stages.
How it works
Initial briefing
Objectives, functional brief, and site review.
Planning analysis
Masterplan rules, regulations, and constraints.
Design development
Plans, sections, elevations, and 3D studies.
Validation and next steps
Final adjustments and preparation for the planning phase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a preliminary study replace planning approval?
No. It is the conceptual phase that prepares the project for the approval process.
How long does a preliminary study take?
It depends on the complexity of the site, but we define timelines at the outset.
Can it help evaluate a plot before purchase?
Yes. It helps clarify the development potential and main limitations before you invest.
