Make Informed Property Decisions with Professional Fit Out Insight

Choosing the right commercial property is a critical decision—one that impacts your business operations, growth, and bottom line. But how do you know if a space truly fits your needs before signing a lease?

That’s where EDGE. Design & Fit Out comes in.

We offer pre-lease feasibility assessments that help you fully understand what a potential building can (and can’t) do for your business—before you commit.

What Is a Feasibility Study in Commercial Leasing?

A feasibility study evaluates a commercial property’s suitability for your business in terms of space planning, building compliance, infrastructure, and fit out requirements.

At EDGE, we assess:

• Layout potential for your team and operations

• Compliance with building regs, fire safety, and access standards

• Structural or services limitations (HVAC, power, plumbing)

• Likely fit out costs based on your desired design

• Planning or landlord restrictions

• Long-term suitability for growth and change

This process gives you a clear picture of the property’s potential—and its limitations—before you sign on the dotted line.

Why You Should Do This Before Leasing

Many businesses commit to leases without fully understanding:

• What alterations are allowed

• Whether the space can legally support their team size

• How much the fit out will truly cost

• Hidden issues with services, ceilings, or structure

• Limitations on branding, layout, or technical installations

By working with EDGE. Design & Fit Out at the pre-lease stage, you avoid costly surprises and ensure the space is fit-for-purpose, both functionally and financially.
