Site selection and feasibility

Founded coordinates the project site selection and feasibility in conjunction with the necessary experts to support you at the early stages of projects, benefiting clients with a clear steer on potential consenting and development constraints that may influence final project location, design and operation considerations. The report should assess early design options against a defined set of criteria to identify at the earliest stages any constraints and risks associated with each option.

Specific to your projects risks can be in the form of:

•Consent / permissions risks – Planning permission, Environmental and Health permissions associated with kitchen and bar operations including all licensing issues.

•Building management risks – Dealing with existing building management and tenant fit outs including all fire routes and life safety.

•Operational risks – Conditions that may reduce your operational efficiency can take the form space standard, WC facilities including all back off house operation including delivery and waste management scheduling.

•Programme risks - certain options maybe unfeasible within planned project time frames

•Or a combination of the above

Deliverables:

Founded delivers in conjunction with the necessary experts a robust and fit for purpose site selection and feasibility studies by examining the following aspects:

•A review of the all space standard, with specific focus on staffing requirements, means of escape for all user occupants under relevant legislation

•We will coordinate the work of other professionals to assess the mechanical and electrical conditions that may affect construction and operations.

•We will coordinate the work of other professionals of likely licensing issues that will potentially impact the project.

•A risk assessment of operations in terms of risk to consent, development and programme.

•Recommendations for project progression
