Pre-feasibility

Briefing and pre-stage 0 feasibility


The pre-stage zero (referring to RIBA Stages) is an organisational inward-looking process. This stage is not about the building but about the distillation of the targets, drivers and aspirations of the project.

EEDN tailor expert teams to support organisations in assessing their drivers.


We believe the conversation should be as pluralistic as possible. It should represent a convergence of disciplines that will supplement the core organisational expertise.

The pre stage zero process must be of strategic importance. The deep-dive evaluation of aspirations leads to an uninhibited view into the mid- to long-term future.

It provides an alignment of the existing strengths as well as future needs. Most of all, it’s a view which is constantly evolving. The pre-stage zero process validates the business case and will define whether a building project is necessary or whether its typologies are relevant.

Once committed to a project, we believe in reviewing the strategic decisions at agreed project milestones, minimising unplanned post-occupancy updates.

We believe in simple and adaptable design where decision making is based purely on organisational drivers such as product.

Feasibility

We carry out an analysis of the options available to you, taking into consideration the drivers of the project, ensuring that we proceed with the best course of action based on the balance of the cost, risk and value in mind.

Following that, we curate a clear business strategy and plan to deliver the project throughout the next stages.

Working closely with your team and other external consultants, we put together the development appraisal, bringing into it the financial elements developed by the Commercial Managers.

Assembling a professional team & Project Management

We commence this stage by setting up the delivery plan:
  • Clearly established governance processes
  • Unambiguous gateways and decision points
  • Coordinating the procurement of the delivery team, drawing from our nurtured relationships, fostering collaboration and engagement
  • Commence the stakeholder engagement process, both internally and externally including adjoining land owners, local authorities, other third parties and approving bodies
  • We brief and manage all external consultants, such as planning consultants, solicitors, agents, PR and marketing consultants

Concept development and planning

Working closely with the selected delivery partners, we develop a concept design using minimal resources that will help secure optimal planning consents.

Our extensive network of planning consultants work closely with the Local Authorities to enable the project to achieve the best consent possible.


Project Delivery

Embedding the right behaviours from the outset is crucial when the technical and commercial realities of the project test the intentions.

We focus on innovative techniques that promote surety and accuracy of reporting together with control of the processes:
  • Collaboration and communication
  • Knowledge Management
  • Innovation
  • Controls
  • Governance

We are also proud of our proactive, data-driven project monitoring processes that always look back towards the business plan and drivers/objectives of the project

Market positioning and completion

During this stage, we work closely with the relevant agency teams to aid the development of the best offers for the developer, always comparing against the established business plan.

Following a review of the operational requirements of your asset we providing assistance in ensuring the smoothest transition into operations, including establishing property management and estates management regime.

What our clients say /

EEDN has been a great team. They undertook a high level schematic and massing study to test our site capacity to support The London Cancer Hub, the Council's most strategically important scheme - a State of the Art Life Science Campus for the London Borough Of Sutton. The EEDN master planning team came to grips with the complexities of the site and understood the value of the key partners as stakeholders in delivering the LCH. Their expertise and detailed knowledge of the life science space combined  with a highly professional responsive approach produced a great result.

I had known Tes through my network and finally had the opportunity to collaborate with him and EEDN during delivery of an our cGMP advanced therapeutic facility. Tes undertook delivery of our QC laboratory from scoping to handover. Tes’s collaborative style, wealth relevant knowledge, flexibility and resourcefulness, approachable demeanour and ability to form and manage the project team enabled time and in full delivery of the project.

Tes worked with me and our team at Autolus as the Owner's Project Manager. He was able to quickly jump in and understand the inter-workings of the team, and what was of critical importance for the success of the project. He has great organization and leadership skills, and keeps the team on track!

Miranda Neville // SVP Project Management, Autolus Therapeutics

Exceptional personal service – the ‘trusted advisor’ I would always want on the team. I would have no hesitation recommending EEDN who have supported the work and organisation fully during my tenure here. Their genuine enthusiasm and understanding of client needs has made them a pleasure to work with.

Rory Smyth // Head of Construction, One YMCA

The EEDN team were dedicated, diligent professional and highly supportive through our project for coworking and events space. I highly commend the whole team for their ability to manage strategically and tactically simultaneously, from contract negotiation and macro-financial modelling to value engineering at the nuts-and-bolts level. They have a strong and multidisciplinary approach which weaves seamlessly across these two levels of abstraction - we would relish the opportunity to do business with EEDN again.
