FAQ
Common questions before kickoff
What is included in a Site Investigation Report?
A Site Investigation Report documents existing building and site conditions, verifies dimensions and utilities, reviews zoning and code requirements, and identifies potential constraints that could impact planning, permitting, budgeting, or future construction.
What is a renovation test fit?
A renovation test fit studies how an existing space can be reorganized to support operational needs. It evaluates layouts, circulation, occupancy, and efficiency before committing to full architectural design and construction documents.
When should due diligence services begin?
Due diligence should begin before signing a lease, purchasing property, or starting design. Early investigation helps uncover limitations, reduce risk, improve budgeting accuracy, and support more informed real estate and development decisions.
Can a test fit determine project feasibility?
Yes. Test fits help determine whether a project can realistically function within an existing footprint while considering code requirements, staffing needs, circulation, and operational goals before significant time and cost are invested.
Why are site investigations important before design?
Site investigations reduce unknowns early in the process by identifying existing conditions, utility limitations, and zoning concerns that could affect scheduling, permitting, construction costs, and overall project feasibility.
