I’m exploring a potential residential project in Melbourne and keep hearing how important it is to start with an architectural feasibility study. I know it’s not just about whether the design looks good, but also about site conditions, planning controls, budgeting, and how the overall vision aligns with council regulations and long-term goals.
I’m working out whether the site is even viable before involving builders, and I want to make sure I partner with the right professionals from the outset.
I found a really insightful resource from Whisker Architecture, a Melbourne-based architecture and interior design studio that specialises in early-stage project analysis. They collaborate with builders and consultants to guide clients through the entire design and approval process — but they don’t act as builders themselves. Their breakdown of feasibility studies is well worth a read: visit: feasibility study architecture
