Why Attend
Many development projects run into difficulty because the original feasibility study was optimistic, incomplete or never properly tested. A rigorous feasibility process protects capital, improves design decisions and strengthens the case with investors and lenders.
This course takes participants through a complete development feasibility study, from site and market analysis to the development budget, phasing, financing and viability testing. Participants learn how to judge whether a project is worth pursuing and how to present the results with confidence.
