Feasibility & Space Planning

Clarity Before Commitment

Every successful project begins with understanding — of the site, the space, and the possibilities. Potentia Architecture provides comprehensive feasibility and space planning services that help clients make informed, confident decisions before committing to design or construction.

Our team blends architectural experience, technical analysis, and AI-assisted spatial modeling to assess how a site or building can best meet functional and operational goals. We identify opportunities, challenges, and cost implications early — reducing uncertainty and setting a clear, achievable path forward.

Our Feasibility & Space Planning Services

1. Site & Building Assessments
   We evaluate existing site and building conditions, including structure, utilities, access, and zoning. Our assessments reveal opportunities for redevelopment, expansion, or adaptive reuse, ensuring projects start on a solid foundation.

2. Functional Programming
   By collaborating closely with users and stakeholders, we define the functional needs of each space — how people interact, what adjacencies matter, and what operational flows must be preserved or improved.
3. Space Planning & Test Fits
   Using digital modeling and AI-enhanced planning tools, we develop efficient layouts and adjacency diagrams that reflect real-world workflows. Test-fit options help clients visualize potential configurations before major investments are made.
4. Building Code & Regulatory Review
   Our feasibility studies include an early review of code, accessibility, and life-safety requirements to identify design constraints and regulatory risks before schematic design begins.
5. Cost & Schedule Forecasting
   We integrate conceptual cost estimates and preliminary schedule projections into our studies, providing a realistic understanding of project feasibility in financial and temporal terms.
6. Scenario Analysis & Recommendations
   We evaluate multiple planning scenarios — from minimal upgrades to full redevelopment — and provide clear, data-backed recommendations to guide strategic decisions.

Our Approach

We believe that clarity early on saves time and cost later. Our feasibility and space planning services are built around collaboration, transparency, and technical rigor. Whether assessing a new site or optimizing an existing facility, our process delivers insight and direction — not guesswork.

Plan Smarter. Design Better. Build Confidently.

At Potentia Architecture, we help clients define the why, what, and how of their projects before design begins — ensuring every dollar and every square foot contributes to a successful, sustainable outcome.
