Architectural Programming & Feasibility Studies: the key to smooth project progress

Feasibility studies: certainty before you start

Before making a major investment, you must ensure your project is technically, financially, and spatially feasible. Sweco conducts extensive feasibility studies to clearly define the viability of a project. We identify opportunities, limitations, risks, and challenges and test these against your objectives. When needed, we develop multiple scenarios so that we can compare these carefully, together with stakeholders and interested parties, to determine the preferred well-thought-out scenario. The result: a solid foundation that provides direction for the continued development of your project.

Programming: translating wants into concrete requirements

A well-considered set of requirements is the driving force behind every successful project – even when Sweco does not implement the design or build phases. We work with you to define a set of minimum requirements and output specifications that reflect the end users’ vision. These include the architectural, technical, and sustainable quality standards that the project must meet.

We organise workshops with stakeholders and users to precisely define all their wants. This creates a clear and complete programme of requirements or performance specifications with clear objectives and spatial and technical requirements. This includes surface area, function, occupancy, relationship to other spaces, comfort (thermal, acoustic, light), data and power points, sustainability requirements, and material choices. We always take the legislation, standards, and regulations, such as accessibility, labour laws, and fire safety, into account.

Transparency throughout the entire process

The output specifications form a common thread throughout the entire project and are consistently verified at every stage. We use a live environment to ensure the latest specifications are always available to all involved parties, which significantly increases collaboration and efficiency.

Making the right choices together from day one

With Sweco, you choose a partner that guides projects from the outset with well-thought-out feasibility studies and a strong programming framework. This saves you time, money, and uncertainty, and puts your project firmly on track for successful completion.
