Feasibility Studies

A preliminary Feasibility Study generally includes the development of preliminary estimates of overall costs for a specific project. Often with input from others, the study may include preliminary estimates of total project costs as well as annual operating and maintenance expenses in order to obtain a preliminary indication of the overall financial feasibility of the project.

Schematic Design

The primary objective of the schematic design is to clearly define a feasible concept based on the scope of the project. This is completed so that the client can more thoroughly understand the project and approve its construction.
The schematic submittal may include, a site plan, floor plans, elevations, a cost estimate, a comparative analysis of the schematic design and the program or master plan, renderings, and life cycle cost analysis.

Cost Analysis/Preliminary Estimates

The primary objective of cost analysis is to provide oversight of the calculation, submission, and audit cost rates.
Grimes & Associates provides the financial oversight for your project, so that costs can be managed and planned for.
