Feasibility Study
Validate your vision with practical, proven feasibility studies.
Before committing significant time and money to a commercial construction project, owners need clear answers about what can be built, what it will cost, and whether the project makes financial and operational sense. McCree’s feasibility study services help remove uncertainty early in the process by evaluating zoning requirements, site conditions, preliminary design concepts, budget expectations, and project timelines before full design begins.
For 100 years, our team has helped owners make informed decisions with practical guidance rooted in real-world construction experience. Whether you are evaluating vacant land, planning a renovation, expanding an existing facility, or exploring a new development opportunity, McCree provides the insight needed to move forward with confidence.
A Smarter Starting Point
A feasibility study is often the most efficient way to determine whether a project is viable before investing in full architectural drawings or construction documents. McCree’s integrated team reviews zoning, setbacks, parking requirements, site constraints, utility considerations, and other regulatory factors to identify opportunities and potential roadblocks early.
From there, we develop preliminary layouts, conceptual plans, budget estimates, and scheduling projections that help owners understand the full scope of the project before major commitments are made.
Because our architecture, estimating, and construction professionals work collaboratively throughout the process, clients receive practical recommendations focused on efficiency, cost control, and long-term project success.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a feasibility study?
McCree’s feasibility studies typically include a regulatory review, preliminary design concepts, conceptual site planning, budget cost estimates, and a preliminary project schedule. The goal is to provide owners with a clearer understanding of project viability before full design begins.
How long does a feasibility study take?
Most feasibility studies can be completed in approximately 4–8 weeks depending on the size and complexity of the project. Certain vacant land evaluations or conceptual reviews may be completed even faster.
Is a feasibility study only for new construction projects?
No. Feasibility studies can also be valuable for renovations, tenant improvements, facility expansions, adaptive reuse projects, and redevelopment opportunities. McCree helps owners evaluate both new and existing properties.
Why should I complete a feasibility study before hiring an architect for full plans?
A feasibility study helps identify zoning limitations, site constraints, budget concerns, and scheduling considerations before significant design costs are incurred. This early evaluation can help owners avoid costly surprises and make better-informed project decisions.
Can McCree help evaluate land before I purchase it?
Yes. McCree frequently performs feasibility studies for owners evaluating vacant land or properties under contract. Early due diligence can uncover potential development challenges and help determine whether a property aligns with your project goals.
