You have a property or investment in mind. Before developing the design, you need to know what could affect the project.
Corbán’s project feasibility assessment reviews the site, intended use, restrictions, information gaps, preliminary cost and timing to identify the conditions under which it makes sense to advance.
Before work begins, your proposal states the scope, deliverables, exclusions, responsibilities, review points, fee, schedule and recommended next stage.
It is intended primarily for custom homes, vacation residences, rental villas and selected boutique projects at the land or early investment decision stage.
THE SERVICE
Know What You Are Assessing Before Moving Forward
Project Feasibility Assessment tests whether your proposed use and the available property information support moving forward. It connects potential development area, constraints, required studies and preliminary cost and timing before detailed design.
You are commissioning an early project assessment—not a guarantee of approvals or returns. The proposal defines the documents to review, the assessment depth and any financial pre-feasibility component.
Corbán can develop the design later, but you can first decide whether to proceed, adjust or pause.
THIS SERVICE IS USALLY APPROPRIATE WHEN
You own a property or are considering a specific purchase.
You have an intended use but need to understand the conditions that could limit development.
You want a project feasibility study before committing to detailed design or a broader investment.
You need to identify missing studies or documentation.
You want preliminary construction cost and timing considered alongside the property conditions.
You need to decide whether to advance, revise the proposal or investigate important unknowns.
KEY BENEFITS
Understand the conditions that could prevent or reshape the project.
Review preliminary cost and timing before committing to detailed design.
Identify the studies and decisions needed for a more informed next step.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
A feasibility assessment at the agreed level
A review of site and project constraints
Potential area and use considerations where assessable
Preliminary cost and timing with stated assumptions
A record of missing studies and unresolved conditions
A recommendation to advance, revise or investigate
WHAT IT INCLUDES

Where This Service Fits
1
Advisory & Feasibility
Clarify whether the property and project are ready to advance.
3
Architectural Design
Develop spaces, circulation, envelope, openings, materials and passive criteria.
5
Pre-Construction Decisions
Prepare for budgeting, scheduling and contractor comparison.
Project Feasibility Assessment belongs before detailed design or a major property commitment. It can follow a consultation or begin directly when the property, intended use and basic investment assumptions are available.
2
Preliminary Design
Explore the concept, layout, form and initial site relationship.
4
Engineering & Coordination
Develop and coordinate the required technical disciplines.
6
Owner-Side Construction Support
Maintain owner-side visibility during construction.
READY TO EXPLORE THE PROJECT DESIGN?
Choose Preliminary Design once the assessment supports advancing and the necessary starting information is available.
What We Need From You
SHARE THE INFORMATION CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, SUCH AS:
Property location and ownership status
Intended use and approximate project size
Survey or available property documents
Known access and utility information
Existing restrictions or official responses
Target investment range and priorities
Existing concepts or preliminary drawings
Available studies or site observations
Income and operating assumptions, if relevant
Whether you are in Costa Rica or abroad
You do not need every document initially. Corbán identifies the information and specialist studies needed; unresolved conditions remain explicit rather than treated as confirmed.
BEST FOR
Residential and Selected Boutique Projects
Single-family home
Owners evaluating land or the development potential of primary homes, vacation residences and rental villas before design.
Tourism project
Lodges and boutique hospitality concepts needing an early view of site, operational and investment conditions.
Commercial or Mixed-Use
Selected developments needing to test intended use, likely constraints and preliminary project requirements.
RESULTS
An evidence-based early view of whether to advance, revise or investigate further—with assumptions and unresolved conditions visible, not disguised as guaranteed feasibility.
WHAT TO CONFIRM BEFORE HIRING
We Answer Your Questions
Is Financial Pre-Feasibility Always Included?
No. It is included when relevant and expressly scoped, using identified investment, income and operating assumptions.
Will I Receive a Complete Design?
No. The service assesses whether and under what conditions to advance. Design development is contracted separately.
How Accurate Are the Preliminary Cost and Timing?
They are early planning references based on stated assumptions, not contractor prices or a detailed schedule. Their usefulness depends on the available information and unresolved site conditions.
Can the Assessment Be Managed Remotely?
Document reviews and discussions can be digital. The proposal identifies required site work, local information and specialist input.
What Happens If Important Information Is Missing?
The assessment identifies the gap and its effect on the decision. Corbán may recommend further investigation or a pause instead of presenting an unsupported conclusion.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN?
Keep Exploring
Preliminary Design
Explore layout, form and site response when the assessment supports advancing to a design concept. Use the findings to define the brief.
Integrated Design Package
Develop architecture and the main engineering disciplines through one coordinated, expressly defined scope.
