At RISEN, we're specialists in transforming your property ideas into successful developments. Our comprehensive feasibility studies, conducted early in the planning process, help clearly identify your site's potential, prevent costly surprises, and lay the foundation for a smooth, compliant development. Serving clients across Marlborough, we also liaise directly with Marlborough District Council to streamline your project’s approval process.


What is a Feasibility Study?

A feasibility study evaluates all the essentials you’ll need for a successful project. It includes reviewing utilities, services, environmental factors, geotechnical aspects, and site access, giving you a clear picture of potential challenges and solutions.


Utilities and Services Check

At RISEN, we thoroughly investigate essential utilities early, including:

  • Wastewater: Checking existing systems and their capacity, ensuring your development won’t face future capacity issues.

  • Water Supply: Verifying the local water network can meet your planned demands, identifying early if any upgrades are required.

  • Stormwater Management: Assessing the most suitable solutions—whether onsite soakage, connections to public systems, or new infrastructure—to protect your development from flooding and water management issues.

  • Electricity and Connectivity: Working closely with power and fibre providers, we identify infrastructure needs early, allowing seamless integration into your development plans.

Managing Environmental and Geotechnical Risks

Our studies proactively assess:

  • Contamination Risk: Ensuring your site is safe and suitable for intended development.

  • Geotechnical Stability: Evaluating ground conditions, including soil stability and liquefaction risks, essential for safe, sustainable construction.


Effective Design and Access Planning

We provide insights into the most efficient site layout and access designs, considering:

  • Safe internal road configurations

  • Optimal traffic flow and pedestrian safety

  • Visibility and safety of access points
