What a feasibility study actually covers
A feasibility study answers one question before money is committed: can this project work, on this site, for this community, at a budget we can defend? It is not a design, and it is not a sales document. It is the evidence a board needs before it approves design spending.
A thorough study typically covers the site and any existing building, the program (what rooms and capacities are actually needed), the constraints (zoning, permitting, access, and communal requirements), and a preliminary budget frame. What it should not do is promise a final price before design exists — that comes later, as a real itemized quote.
For a board, the value is decision-grade: after a study, the choice is no longer "should we do something?" but "do we proceed on these terms, revise the program, or pause?" Any of those is a legitimate outcome of a good study.
