STRATEGIC CLARITY

WHY COMMISSION A FEASIBILITY STUDY FIRST?

Before committing thousands of pounds to fully detailed architectural schematics, structural engineering drawings, and statutory application fees, our Feasibility Study provides complete certainty on what Edinburgh council planners will approve and what can physically be built on your site.

The C-Tech Principle: One team, complete continuity. The same specialists assessing your initial feasibility supervise the technical warrant, procurement, and physical construction.

PLANNING CERTAINTY

Established before any planning application is lodged. We test policies against local precedents.

£0

WASTED ON NON-VIABLE SCHEMES

Avoid commission fees for unbuildable architectural designs or immediate council refusals.

2–3

WEEKS TURNAROUND

Rapid, actionable study delivered in a polished dossier with step-by-step next steps.

STATUTORY COMPLIANCE

Aligned to Edinburgh Local Development Plan, Scottish Building Standards, and fire egress codes.

SYSTEMATIC AUDIT

WHAT THE FEASIBILITY STUDY COVERS

Our four-pillar methodology covers every technical, regulatory, spatial, and financial consideration.

Site & Spatial Assessment

Full spatial exploration of your footprint. We review existing internal load-bearing partitions, ceiling heights, window lintels, and utility routes to evaluate internal alteration feasibility.

Planning & Policy Evaluation

Analysis against City of Edinburgh Council Local Development Plan, Permitted Development limits, Listed Building constraints, and Conservation Area design guidelines.

Initial Spatial Concepts

We generate 2–3 bespoke layout options showing how to reconfigure walls, position kitchen islands, introduce rooflights, and maximize open-plan garden connections.

Cost & Schedule Projections

Clear indicative cost bands for construction, materials, architectural warrants, statutory council fees, and structural engineering so you budget with realistic expectations.

COMPREHENSIVE DELIVERABLES

THE C-TECH FEASIBILITY DOSSIER

You receive an architectural document package you fully own. Whether you proceed straight into planning with C-Tech or evaluate your financing options, this report provides indelible value and structural authority.

C-TECH GUARANTEE

If your feasibility report confirms that a proposed scheme will face refusal under Edinburgh council planning policy, we formulate viable design pivots at zero extra fee.

STRUCTURED METHODOLOGY

HOW YOUR FEASIBILITY STUDY UNFOLDS

A methodical 4-stage process designed to bring you absolute clarity within 2 to 3 weeks.

STAGE 01

On-Site Consultation & Survey

We visit your Edinburgh property to inspect spatial dimensions, roof lines, drainage exit points, and boundary conditions while discussing your wish list and family routine.

STAGE 02

Desk Research & Precedents

Our planning specialists pore over council registers, Edinburgh Local Development Plan maps, flood risk registers, and recent neighbouring approvals to identify advantages.

STAGE 03

Options & Cost Modeling

We draft 2 to 3 spatial layout variations and marry them with real Edinburgh builder rate schedules to provide dependable, itemised cost forecasts for each choice.
