Site Feasibility and Due Diligence
Axis Engineering provides site feasibility and due diligence services to help property owners, builders, and developers evaluate a property’s potential before proceeding with development.
Services include reviewing zoning requirements, existing site conditions, utility availability, drainage, access, easements, and applicable permitting requirements.
The objective is to identify potential development constraints and provide practical engineering insight to support early project decisions.
Service Focus
Early-stage site evaluation
Review Areas
Zoning, utilities, drainage, and site constraints
The specific deliverable may be a feasibility report, memorandum, or other project-specific documentation depending on the agreed scope.

Engineering findings and recommendations
Whether you’re considering purchasing a property, planning a new development, or evaluating improvements to an existing site, understanding the site’s constraints early can help establish a practical direction for your project.
Development Constraint Review
Zoning Requirements
Permitted uses, setbacks, building height, lot coverage, and impervious coverage.
Property Constraints
Easements, rights-of-way, access, and lot configuration.
Site Conditions
Existing topography, drainage, and environmental or physical constraints that may affect development.
Site Feasibility & Due Diligence · Summit, NJ
Preliminary engineering evaluation of site conditions, development constraints, utilities, drainage, access, and easements.
Concept Planning + Site Layout Review
Preliminary evaluation of building placement, access, lot configuration, and proposed improvements to assess development options before proceeding with detailed engineering design.
Permitting Requirements + Early Coordination
Identification of applicable municipal, county, and state permitting requirements, including preliminary coordination with reviewing agencies where necessary to establish the anticipated review process.
Utility Availability + Drainage Review
Preliminary review of existing water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer systems, along with site drainage conditions, to identify potential utility connections, infrastructure limitations, and drainage constraints.
Due Diligence Before Acquisition
Engineering review of a property’s existing conditions, development constraints, and infrastructure considerations to support property acquisition and early project planning.
Findings and recommendations can be documented in a project-specific feasibility report or memorandum, depending on the scope of the review.
Four-step engineering process
Frequently asked questions
A feasibility review evaluates available site information, zoning requirements, physical constraints, utilities, drainage, access, and anticipated permitting requirements to identify considerations that may affect the proposed development.
What does a site feasibility review include?
Can a feasibility review determine whether I can build on a property?
A feasibility review helps evaluate whether a proposed development may be practical based on the information available. Additional surveys, investigations, design work, or agency approvals may be necessary to confirm certain site conditions and development requirements.
When should I request a feasibility review?
A feasibility review is typically most useful before purchasing a property or proceeding with detailed engineering design. It can also be performed when evaluating changes to an existing property or development proposal.
A current property survey is helpful for evaluating property boundaries, existing improvements, easements, and potential development constraints. The information required depends on the scope of the review, and preliminary evaluations may be possible using available property records and mapping.
Do I need a property survey before starting?
