As part of the feasibility study, the existing building was surveyed systematically, digitised and technically assessed. Working with specialist firms and in dialogue with the authorities, the structural, technical and legal constraints were clarified.

The causes of the moisture damage were located and specific refurbishment options developed. The service routes were analysed and the condition of the relevant building elements assessed.

Use and floor plan options were developed for all vacant units, to create attractive spaces that are easy to let. A rough cost estimate (±30%) with a timeframe was also prepared, making the investment required, the priorities and the phasing transparent.
