What we provide

What we provide

Solvix International provides feasibility studies for construction, infrastructure, engineering, and capital projects that need a clear view of viability before major commitments are made. Our reviews examine whether the proposed project, option, or development path is technically practical, commercially sensible, capable of being delivered within realistic programme and procurement constraints, and consistent with the available approval and risk environment.

We convert early-stage assumptions into decision-ready findings. That means testing the concept rather than merely describing it, identifying the information gaps that still matter, and helping clients understand whether the right outcome is to proceed, refine the brief, resequence the strategy, or defer investment until the basis is stronger.

Architectural model

Independent assessment of whether a project concept is technically, commercially, and practically viable.

Findings that support owners, developers, funders, and boards in deciding whether and how to proceed.

Reporting that can be used for investment approval, funding applications, or option selection.

SERVICE SCOPE

What this service covers

Technical feasibility

Assess whether the concept can be built, commissioned, operated, or integrated with the physical and engineering constraints of the project.

Cost and commercial viability

Review cost drivers, allowances, benchmark reasonableness, contingency logic, and whether the concept is commercially defensible.

Programme and delivery realism

Test whether milestones, sequencing, lead times, approvals, and interfaces are realistic for the proposed strategy.

Procurement and market readiness

Assess packaging strategy, contractor appetite, supply-chain complexity, and how route-to-market choices affect viability.

STUDY OBJECTIVES

What a well-prepared feasibility study should achieve

A feasibility study can be carried out before investment approval, before design development, or when options need to be compared. It tests the assumptions behind a project before major commitments are made.

Tested assumptions

Key technical, cost, and programme assumptions are checked against available data.

fail

Compared options

Alternative concepts or delivery routes are assessed on a consistent basis.

Clear recommendation

The study states whether and how to proceed and what further work is needed.

Common matters we support

Projects that proceed on untested assumptions often face cost, programme, or approval problems later. A feasibility study identifies those issues while the scope and budget can still be changed.

Pre-investment review:

Assessment of whether a project concept justifies further funding or approval.

Option appraisal:

Comparison of alternative concepts, sites, or delivery strategies.

Cost and programme testing:

Review of budget and programme assumptions against benchmarks and constraints.

Existing asset studies:

Assessment of refurbishment, extension, or change-of-use options for existing assets.

Procurement route review:

Assessment of packaging and route-to-market options at feasibility stage.

Funding and board submissions:

Preparation of findings in a form suitable for funders and governance boards.

BENEFITS

How feasibility studies add value

Improves early-stage decision quality by replacing assumption-led planning with a structured evidence-based review.

Identifies technical, cost, programme, procurement, and stakeholder risks before they become embedded in the delivery path.

Supports funding, governance, and investment approvals with clearer justification, options analysis, and risk visibility.

Reduces wasted design effort by testing whether the concept is practical and proportionate before further commitment.

Creates a stronger basis for procurement, business case development, value engineering, and project controls planning.

APPROACH

How we carry out feasibility studies

Our methodology is tailored to the project stage, record maturity, and decision purpose. Some studies focus on an investment or governance gate, while others support concept design development, procurement planning, or dispute avoidance by testing whether the original assumptions were realistic. In each case, the work is structured, proportionate, and directed toward a defined decision.

1. Confirm objectives and decision criteria.

We establish what must be decided, what success looks like, and which constraints are already fixed.

2. Review the available project basis.

We analyse concept information, design inputs, surveys, benchmarks, stakeholder assumptions, and key missing data.

3. Test viability across the main workstreams.

Technical, commercial, programme, procurement, compliance, and delivery issues are examined together rather than in isolation.

4. Compare options and sensitivities.

Where relevant, we test alternative concepts, packaging strategies, sequences, or assumptions to understand which path is most robust.

5. Issue a decision-ready report.

Findings are consolidated into a clear opinion with risk points, limitations, and recommended next actions.

USE CASES AND FAQS

Typical use cases

Pre-investment review

Test whether a project concept is strong enough to justify further funding, board approval, or project initiation.

Concept and option selection

Compare design or delivery options before one route becomes embedded in scope and budget.

Procurement strategy decisions

Assess whether packaging, timing, or route-to-market choices support realistic delivery and market response.

Development gateway support

Provide a structured basis for moving from concept to design development, tender, or implementation planning.

FAQS

Frequently asked questions

A feasibility study is an independent assessment of whether a proposed project is technically, commercially, and practically viable, and which option offers the best basis for proceeding.

Usually before major design, funding, tender, or delivery commitments are made, although it can also be used at later gateways when assumptions need to be retested.

Yes. Feasibility studies can be integrated with project controls, procurement advisory, value engineering, and technical review where that strengthens the decision basis.
