Feasability Study Information
Proposed Redevelopment
Information Required for Feasibility Estimates
Estimates are only as good as the information on which they are based.
A feasibility estimate, the first guess at a likely project cost, will include design and construction contingencies, insurances and fees etc. of a broad nature and can have a spread of probability of up to ± 30%.
