Often, construction projects in Kenya are usually undertaken without any feasibility studies being done. In your opinion, which among the following reasons would explain this trend?

For instance, a hydro-geological investigation would help individuals determine the type of development to undertake based on water resource capacities & liquefaction potential in order to avoid such issues as flooding & the need for dewatering

It is important that before embarking on any construction projects, one must undertake a feasibility study irrespective of the magnitude of the said project since it is a crucial aspect of conducting due diligence

Granted, site appraisals, including geotechnical studies, assessment of any contamination, availability of infrastructure & related services, use of adjoining land and easements, as well as restrictive covenants, are during feasibility studies

[Architectural Association of Kenya @Arch_KE]

Through feasibility studies, contractors & consultants are able to conduct analysis of the budget relative to client requirements & identify other statutory requirements all of which are critical in preparing basic stacking diagrams for sites

On large projects, there may be a number of different feasibility studies carried out, sometimes requiring different skills & considering issues such as planning permissions & the likelihood that an Environmental Impact Assessment will be required

#FridayFocus #ConstructionKE

[Architectural Association of Kenya @Arch_KE]

Feasibility studies are done to establish whether a project is viable & if not help identify feasible options. The studies are also vital in the development of other project documentation such as the project execution plans & strategic briefs

#FridayFocus #ConstructionKE

[Architectural Association of Kenya @Arch_KE]

A feasibility study is an important technique that helps to decide which concepts should be developed as a project. Feasibility studies in the construction sector are preliminary studies undertaken at the very early stage of a project

This week on #FridayFocus we take a look at why it is important to undertake a feasibility study before embarking on a construction project. Join in the conversation here & on Facebook @Arch_KE
