The Facet Feasibility Sprint™

Check the Fit of Your Building or Renovation

Business Sprint

Before you commit to the space, know what it will take to make it work.

A feasibility Sprint is for you when you are asking:

  • 40 years and over 400 projects under our belt help us deliver a quick yet substantive analysis of your goals/needs vs. your current/potential environment.

  • With our background in design, construction, and development, we have the strategic and tactical tools to answer best value and Return on Investment questions.

  • These are the issues that surface after a commitment is made and become expensive to resolve. We identify them early — when you still have options.

  • Each of these decisions locks in assumptions about what a building or site can do. We surface the constraints, costs, and risks that belong in the conversation before you are legally or financially committed.

  • Sometimes the answer is proceed. Sometimes it is pause, refine, or walk away. We give you an independent, informed recommendation — not a pitch for more services.

What we bring to the table

Facet is not a typical architecture firm. We combine architectural expertise with general contractor execution, developer thinking, zoning and code analysis, and owner advocacy. That means we understand your decision the way you need to understand it — in terms of risk, cost, timeline, and operational reality.

We've worked with business and restaurant owners, healthcare operators, hospitality groups, manufacturers, schools, and institutional leaders facing exactly these decisions.

We know where projects go wrong early and how to surface problems while you still have options.

Where most projects go wrong

The most expensive mistakes in commercial construction and renovation happen before design starts — when owners commit to a property or budget based on incomplete information.

Change-of-use surprises (changing a building that was formerly used for something other than your use). Parking shortfalls. Occupancy classification upgrades. ADA requirements. Fire suppression mandates. Permit timelines no one warned you about.

These are not unusual complications. They are standard variables that belong in your decision — not your construction budget.

The Facet Feasibility sprint™

The info you need to make a sound decision before you spend a lot of money.

Our front-end engagement is a focused, paid study designed to answer the questions that matter before you spend serious money.

You receive:

  • A site or building review specific to your intended use

  • Zoning, parking, and occupancy analysis

  • Code and life-safety observations

  • Order-of-magnitude budget and schedule ranges

  • Risk flags and decision considerations

  • A written recommendation: proceed, refine, pause, or walk away

Timeline: Typically 2–3 weeks depending on complexity.

Investment: Scaled to project scope.

Most Feasibility Sprints range from $4,500 to $7,500.

This is not a design proposal. It is the information you need to make a sound decision before design begins.
