What We Do
Feasibility Studies That Set Projects Up for Success
Before committing capital, selecting a site, or engaging a design team, every project needs one thing: clarity. That’s where feasibility studies come in.
At BEM Group, we provide sector-specific feasibility studies that help organisations make confident decisions early. Whether you’re considering a school expansion, aged care redevelopment or a new community health facility, we help answer the key question — should we move forward, and if so, how?
We bring experience, structure and context to each study — aligning ambition with practical insight so your project doesn’t just start, it starts right.

What a Feasibility Study Really Delivers
Feasibility is more than checking if an idea works. It’s about stress-testing assumptions, understanding real-world conditions, and mapping a path forward that is both doable and fundable.
BEM feasibility studies typically explore:
-
Site viability and local constraints
-
Service demand and catchment analysis
-
Functional spatial briefs and staging options
-
Risk identification across planning, budget and delivery
-
Preliminary capital cost modelling
One regional healthcare provider approached us with plans for a new multi-clinic facility. Through the feasibility process, we identified workforce availability risks and local access issues that hadn’t been considered. With that knowledge, we helped restructure the delivery model, stage the rollout, and realign the budget. The result? A viable, fundable project that now has a clear path forward.
Why Feasibility Matters More Than Ever
Too many projects fail not because they were bad ideas — but because they lacked clear groundwork. Starting with feasibility means:
-
Avoiding cost blowouts from missed risks
-
Creating accurate briefs and staged delivery options
-
Strengthening your case for funding
-
Giving decision-makers the confidence to move forward
In fast-moving sectors like education, aged care and healthcare, feasibility is no longer optional — it’s essential.
How We Approach Feasibility Studies
Every feasibility study we deliver is tailored to context, not templates.
Our approach includes:
-
Site Evaluation
-
Land use planning, overlays, access and utilities
-
-
Needs & Demand Analysis
-
Catchment demographics, enrolment forecasts, service gaps
-
-
Functional Planning
-
High-level spatial briefs aligned to user needs
-
-
Risk & Constraint Mapping
-
Planning, funding, design and operational issues
-
-
Cost Modelling & Staging Options
-
Indicative capital estimates and delivery sequencing
-
-
Strategic Recommendations
-
Clear pathways for scope refinement or advancement
-
The outcome? A study that becomes a trusted foundation for business cases, funding submissions, and consultant briefing.
Sector-Specific Experience That Strengthens Results
Different sectors demand different measures of feasibility. At BEM Group, we don’t stop at spatial planning or capex — we bring in-depth sector experience to each engagement.
We’ve delivered feasibility studies across:
-
Primary & Secondary Education – Aligning site strategy with enrolment projections
-
TAFE & Universities – Multi-campus upgrades with live teaching environments
-
Aged Care & Retirement Living – Navigating DBP obligations and residential liveability
-
Healthcare & Community Health – Balancing clinical needs with community access
-
Retail & Mixed-Use – Overlaying commercial intent with site performance
We support boards, asset managers, government clients and not-for-profits seeking real clarity before progressing to the next stage.
Clear, Practical Outputs – Not Just Reports
The goal of a feasibility study isn’t the document — it’s the decision it enables. That’s why we build studies that stakeholders can act on immediately.
Our deliverables typically include:
-
Executive summary with clear “go/no-go” guidance
-
Site opportunities and constraint mapping
-
Functional spatial test fits (where applicable)
-
Preliminary project cost ranges
-
Stage 1 vs Stage 2 delivery pathways
-
Identified risks and planning considerations
We can also tailor reporting formats to suit government funding submissions or internal board processes.
