Top 10 Questions You Need to Answer Before You Build
Wednesday, September 09, 2009

Every new project whether a large-scale organizational capital asset system, a park or a facility poses crucial development questions that should be answered in the planning stage.

Avoiding unforeseen problems and getting the most out of project dollars requires that the following questions be answered: 

1.       Will the project deliver what you want and expect?

2.       Will the potential return of investment justify the risk?

3.       Is the location suitable?

4.       What is the best way to use the property?

5.       What is the worth of our current capital assets?

6.       How will environment safeguards be met?

7.       How can the public contribute to the process?

8.       Could current facilities handle additional staff without expansion?

9.       Could current facilities handle additional operations without expansion?

10.   Are there expansion options on the existing property?

Once these questions are answered, you will be sure to get the solution that best meets what you and the facility's occupants need at a lower costs than you originally anticipated.
