how we can help

From Budgeting to Lease Acquisition and Everything In Between

Feasibility Studies Help Companies Understand Everything Associated with Upcoming Project.

RSI can provide a Feasibility Study for your company in preparation for any new lease, renewal, or purchase negotiations including any targeted facilities under consideration. The study will consist of an all-inclusive assessment which will incorporate any estimated costs associated with each property under consideration. This comprehensive project review provides you with all relevant information to be fully considered. Our Feasibility Study will address all significant areas of potential concern.

In 2026, commercial real estate decisions in Charlotte and across the Carolinas carry significant financial weight. Rising construction costs, evolving space requirements, and increasingly complex lease structures mean that businesses can no longer afford to make location decisions without a thorough, independent feasibility analysis. RSI provides exactly that.

As a fully independent project management firm, RSI has no financial relationship with any landlord, broker, or vendor. Every feasibility study we deliver is built entirely around your business needs, your budget, and your goals.

What RSI's Commercial Feasibility Study Includes

Project Programming & Requirements Documentation

RSI will fully program your project deliverable, meaning we will gather and document all project requirements and goals from every relevant stakeholder in your organization. Nothing is assumed. Everything is documented before a single property is evaluated.

Full Facility Tours & Site Documentation

We will conduct a full facility tour of both your current and potential future sites, evaluating each space in detail and documenting all relevant information for the requested project scope. Our team assesses every physical, operational, and logistical dimension of each location under consideration.

Comprehensive Information & Areas of Concern

We provide our client with all pertinent information to be fully considered and clearly identify any potential areas of concern. No issue is glossed over. If a space has limitations, constraints, or hidden costs, RSI will find them and report them before you are committed.

What RSI Delivers as Part of the Feasibility Study

Upon completion of RSI’s feasibility study, you will have a complete, actionable deliverable that puts you in full control of your commercial real estate decision. Here is what is included.

Test Fits for Each Location Under Consideration

RSI develops detailed test fits specific to each of the locations under consideration**, giving you a clear visual and operational picture of how your business will fit into each space before any commitments are made.** Learn more about our Test Fitting services.

FF&E Inventory Assessment

If requested, RSI can conduct a full FF&E — Furniture, Fixture, and Equipment — inventory. This can assist with requirements around repurposing existing furniture, procurement of new furniture, and support negotiations of brokered versus salvage and disposal of excess furniture. Knowing exactly what you have and what you need before moving is a significant budget advantage.

Master Construction Schedule

RSI develops a master construction schedule including all phasing plans to meet the project parameters. Every milestone, every phase, and every deadline is mapped out so you know exactly what the project will require in terms of time before you commit.

Detailed Project Budget for Each Option

RSI provides a project budget for each option including all corresponding costs associated with the project. These are real, accurate budget numbers — not estimates or ballpark figures. You will know exactly what each location will cost to build out and occupy before you sign anything.

Full Vendor Requirements Identification

One of the most valuable components of an RSI feasibility study is the complete identification of every vendor your project will require. This eliminates surprise costs and gives you a full picture of the project’s true scope. Vendors identified include:

  • Architectural services
  • Engineering
  • Cabling — voice and data
  • IT services
  • Security systems
  • Signage
  • Vending
  • Sound masking
  • Audio and visual equipment
  • Furniture
  • Construction and general contracting

RSI’s construction and relocation oversight management project fees are included in the feasibility study deliverable. Upon making your location selection, the project work can commence immediately, with our fees already in hand, and RSI will deliver your completed project in its entirety.

Why Charlotte Businesses Choose RSI for Commercial Feasibility Studies

Independent Analysis. Real Numbers. Zero Conflicts of Interest.

A feasibility study is only as valuable as it is honest. When the firm conducting your feasibility study has financial relationships with landlords, contractors, or furniture vendors, their analysis is never fully objective. RSI is different.

As a nationally certified Women Business Enterprise and fully independent project management firm, RSI has no financial ties to any party involved in your real estate decision. We do not earn commissions. We do not benefit from steering you toward any particular space or vendor. Our only obligation is to give you the clearest, most accurate, and most complete picture of your options so you can make the best decision for your business.

Our feasibility studies have helped businesses across Charlotte, the Carolinas, and nationwide avoid costly lease mistakes, negotiate stronger terms, and enter construction and relocation projects with full confidence in their numbers and their plans.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A commercial feasibility study is a comprehensive, independent analysis of every factor involved in a commercial real estate decision, including space suitability, construction costs, vendor requirements, project timelines, and budget projections for each location under consideration. Your business should commission a feasibility study any time you are evaluating a new lease, considering a lease renewal, or exploring the purchase of commercial property. The study gives you all the information you need to negotiate your lease terms from a position of knowledge and confidence, and it eliminates the costly surprises that derail so many commercial real estate projects.

A commercial real estate broker's primary role is to help you find and lease a space, and their compensation is typically tied to the transaction. RSI is fully independent. We earn no commissions and have no financial relationship with any landlord or developer. Our feasibility study is built entirely around your business needs and gives you an honest, unbiased assessment of every location under consideration, including its limitations and hidden costs. Where a broker may highlight the strengths of a space, RSI will give you the complete picture so you can negotiate better terms or walk away from the wrong space entirely.

RSI's feasibility study fee varies depending on the scope of the project, the number of locations under consideration, and the complexity of your business's requirements. What is consistent is the value it delivers. Businesses that commission an RSI feasibility study consistently save significantly more than the cost of the study through better lease negotiations, more accurate construction budgets, and avoidance of costly space mistakes. Additionally, RSI's construction and relocation project management fees are included in the feasibility study deliverable, meaning there are no additional fees when your project begins. The study pays for itself before the project even starts.

Yes, and this is actually one of the most common and valuable applications of RSI's feasibility study service. When a business is weighing two or more potential locations, RSI evaluates each one using the same rigorous criteria, including test fits, construction cost projections, vendor requirements, and schedule implications. This gives you a true apples-to-apples comparison of your options, grounded in real numbers rather than landlord-provided estimates. The result is a clear, evidence-based recommendation that makes your location decision straightforward and defensible to all stakeholders involved.

Yes. The feasibility study is the starting point, not the finish line. Once your location is selected and you are ready to proceed, RSI transitions directly into full project management, overseeing your construction build-out, vendor coordination, and office relocation from start to finish. Because RSI's project management fees are already included in the feasibility study deliverable, there are no additional surprises when the project begins. You have already seen the numbers, approved the plan, and selected your partner. RSI simply executes. Learn more about our full project management services.
