Feasibility Study
The myhome mygarden Feasibility Study will provide you with all the initial information you need to help you to decide if extending or improving your property will create the space you need.
It is a comprehensive service that is excellent value for money and is the starting point for most of our Clients that are looking to extending their home.
Our Feasibility Study includes the following:
Property Survey and Initial Meeting
The first part of this service will involve carrying out a full measured and photographic survey of your property which will normally take about an hour to complete.
We will also have an initial meeting with you and agree the ‘Client Brief’ which is a summary of the work needing to be completed and the space you require.
Scaled Plans
Once we have surveyed the property and obtained a clear understanding of your requirements, we will prepare initial scheme drawings (see samples below) at our design offices. At this stage, we will add suggested furniture arrangements to help demonstrate that the space created is sufficient to meet your needs.
We use modeling software to create a 3D view of the building and will include an external view of how the extension will look. In many cases, we will also provide you with an internal 3D view to help you to visualize the space.
If you proceed to the design stage of our service, the plans that we prepare here will form the basis of your planning and building regulations drawings.

Design Statement
We will include a written Design Statement which will include the planning and building regulations requirements for your proposal and any additional information that is relevant to your design.
The Design Statement will provide you with a summary of why your proposal has been designed in the way we have presented it to you.
Budget Cost
We will prepare an initial cost of the proposed works using our own customized software. We would normally expect the figure given to you to be within 10% of the final project cost.
We will provide a basis specification of the work to identify what is included in the budget cost.
Project Timeframe
The feasibility study includes a summary of the anticipated timings for your project. We would normally divide this between the design stage and the building stage.
Feasibility Study Preparation
It normally takes 2-3 weeks to complete the Feasibility Study from the survey date and, once completed, we will either present the scheme to you at your home or post it to you by First Class Recorded Delivery.
Following the completion of this part of our service, you will then be able to decide if you would like to proceed with the detailed design of your proposal and obtain planning permission and building regulations approval from your local council.
