Feasibility Studies
Before you spend a dollar on engineering, know what's possible on the parcel — and what isn't. A Bailey feasibility study gives you the answers in days, not months.
The first honest look at your parcel.
A feasibility study is a structured early-phase analysis of a piece of land. It tells you whether the project you want to build is buildable, what it will cost to make it buildable, and which questions need to be answered before you commit capital.
Bailey runs feasibility studies as a focused 2–3 week engagement. We pull title, zoning, comprehensive plan designation, infrastructure availability, environmental constraints, traffic context, and recent planning activity in the area. We compare what you want to build against what the city is actually approving today, and we flag the risks that other firms tend to miss until they show up as agency comments.
You walk away with a written report and a 60-minute working session — enough to make a confident go/no-go decision before the engineering bills start.
Common scenarios.
You're under contract on a parcel and the inspection period is closing. You need a defensible answer on whether the deal pencils.
You're listing a development site and want a credible buildable-yield estimate to support your pricing.
You're advising on a land transaction and need an independent engineering opinion to attach to the file.
You're valuing raw land and need a buildable-lot count grounded in the city's actual approval pattern, not a generic density assumption.
You're considering an amenity expansion or shared infrastructure upgrade and need a feasibility check before assessing membership fees.
You're evaluating whether a parcel transition will affect district infrastructure and need an engineering opinion on impact and mitigation.
How a Bailey feasibility study runs.
The full Bailey land development methodology covers 9 phases. The feasibility study lives in Phase 1.
Intake
30-minute kickoff. We learn what you want to build, what you've already looked at, and where the deal sits in your timeline.
Research
Title, zoning, comp plan, utilities, environmental, traffic, recent planning activity. We pull from public records and Bailey's planning database.
Analysis
We compare what you want to build against what the city is approving today and surface the risks before they become agency comments.
Report & debrief
Written report plus a 60-minute working session. Clear go/no-go recommendation with the reasoning behind it.
