Highest and best use
A property may have several possible futures, each with different investment and operational requirements. We assess which uses are legally permissible, physically possible and financially feasible, then compare them against the owner’s objectives, architectural value and the qualities of the location.

Scope of service
How we help
Meaningful alternatives
The characteristics of the site or building inform the uses and combinations worth testing. For an existing asset, this may include continuing its current use, adaptation or redevelopment. Options available under the current planning framework are distinguished from those dependent on further changes.
Market and commercial comparison
We compare alternatives by potential demand, expected revenues, development expenditure and delivery time. The assessment identifies the assumptions with the greatest influence on the result and how the preferred option could change under different market or cost conditions.
Architectural and operational value
Commercial considerations are assessed alongside the relationship with the surroundings, long-term usability and operational requirements. The recommendation also identifies further information or investigation needed before the preferred direction can be developed in detail.
