Ready-made or custom feasibility study?

Searches for a “feasibility study pdf” are among the most common. Ready-made studies have a use, but they answer a different question from yours.

What a ready-made study is

A study written once for a typical project and sold to many buyers. Its figures are averages or estimates for a hypothetical location, often for the year it was written.

What a custom study is

A study built from scratch for your project: your city and district, your capital, your rent and your competitors’ prices at the time of work. Its decision is yours.

Item by item

  • Location and rent: typical vs yours.
  • Competitors: unknown vs named with actual prices.
  • Numbers: fixed and possibly dated vs sourced and dated.
  • Licences: a generic list vs your case, in order.
  • Decision: “profitable” for a hypothetical project vs whether your project is feasible and on what terms.

When a ready-made study is enough

  • When exploring an idea without a location or capital yet.
  • When you want to understand an activity’s general cost lines.

It is not enough when you are about to sign a lease, apply for financing or present to a partner.

No. We prepare custom studies on request only.

Often. Rent alone can move the decision from “feasible” to “redesign”.
