Feasibility study
The feasibility study is the exploratory phase that enables you to make an informed decision about purchasing a property, whether it’s a plot of land for a new build, or an existing house for renovation. The agency works with you to ensure that the construction possibilities offered by the property match the final project you have in mind. This phase begins with a no-obligation meeting with the agency to discuss your project. At the end of this discussion, which can take place by videoconference, telephone or in person at our offices, the agency will draw up an estimate for the feasibility of your project: Analysis of your needs and finalization of a program to suit you, visit to the property you are considering, analysis of the local PLU applicable to the property and any additional planning regulations (PPRIFF, coastal law, etc.), identification of technical and administrative constraints, drawing up summary plans of possible project scenarios, evaluation of the cost and timeframe of the project (studies and works).
For this phase, calling on the services of an architect, whose professional practice is governed by the code of ethics defined by the French National Order of Architects, imposes on him a duty of impartial advice and assistance, is to reassure you and guarantee you the right choice of property compatible with your project, and financially coherent as an investment. We can complete this mission within 2 weeks.

The pre-contract sketch study as the best criterion for choosing your architect
The sketch study is an assignment proposed by the agency prior to signing a full architect’s contract, to enable you to obtain our vision of your project, and to ensure that it responds intelligently and sensitively to your aspirations. We recommend it when you already own the property, land or house to be renovated, or are in the process of buying it, and want to be sure of your choice of architects and interior designers before signing a final contract. We believe that the best criterion for this choice is your commitment to the project that the architect or decorator is going to design, and which must meet your expectations.
By contacting the agency to discuss your project, we can draw up an estimate for the production of this sketch, which includes :
– On-site visit
– Analysis and summary of planning regulations applicable to the site
– Development of your program
– Ground plan design
– Detailed interior plans at 1:100 scale
– A summary table of surface areas per room
– Creation of 3 3D views, allowing you to appreciate the project’s integration into its surroundings, or the interior ambiances of the decoration.
– A rough estimate of the cost of the work and the time required to complete the project.
