Feasibility Studies for Renovation: How to Avoid Expensive Mistakes

Already own your home and thinking of reworking it? A feasibility study brings clarity before you enter detailed design or construction.

Take The Corner House in Dulwich. The client wanted to combine three flats into one high-performance family home. Before they committed to a full project, StudioHA explored:

  • Whether vertical circulation could be introduced

  • The viability of a rooftop extension

  • Structural and planning risks

With this groundwork, we identified the smartest design strategy and maximised long-term value. The client avoided expensive missteps and was able to brief contractors and consultants with precision from the start.

Why StudioHA Clients Choose Feasibility First

Our Clarity Package isn’t a generic report. It’s a highly tailored strategic tool created by founder Rachel Hurley—an architect with 16+ years of experience navigating London’s planning system, complex sites, and design-led homes.

When to Commission a Feasibility Study

The earlier the better. Ideally before:

  • Making an offer on a new property

  • Engaging builders or consultants

  • Submitting anything for planning

  • Making irreversible decisions about budget or brief

Early-stage architectural advice means you move forward strategically—not reactively.
