Feasibility (Fatal Flaw) & Due Diligence Assessments
We undertake ecological feasibility and due diligence assessments to identify potential environmental constraints at an early stage of project planning. These assessments provide a rapid but structured evaluation of a site by qualified ecological specialists, determining whether sensitive features — such as wetlands, protected species, critical habitats or other regulatory triggers — may present material risks to development. Where necessary, we advise on whether further specialist studies or formal environmental processes are likely to be required.
Fatal flaw assessments are particularly valuable during site selection and project screening phases, enabling developers, investors and planners to make informed decisions before significant resources are committed. Early identification of environmental constraints reduces project risk, supports more effective site selection and avoids costly delays later in the authorisation process.
Our feasibility assessments combine field verification with spatial analysis and regulatory screening to provide clear, defensible recommendations regarding project viability and environmental risk exposure.
