LANDSCOPE

Feasibility study: what you can build on a plot or property, before you decide.

LANDSCOPE is an objective, technical and decisive feasibility study: we analyse the building potential of a plot or property before you invest — at three levels of depth: Base (48 hours), Standard (3 working days) and Premium, with a volumetric study of the possible structure.

A clear process, in four steps

04

We translate the regulatory framework into an informed decision.

[01]

Survey & Context

Collection of all information on the plot or property: land registry, survey, constraints and urban surroundings.

[02]

PDM Analysis & Regulations

Analysis of the municipal master plan (PDM) and all applicable regulations — indices, façade heights, permitted uses and easements.

[03]

Building Capacity

Calculation of the maximum building capacity and preliminary sizing of the possible programme for the plot.

[04]

Report & Recommendation

A clear report with scenarios, risks and a technical recommendation — the basis for the investment decision.

Experience in permitting

In-depth knowledge of municipal master plans (PDM) and of municipal practice, from application to approval.

Independent technical analysis

An objective assessment of potential and risks, grounded in figures and regulations.

Frequently
asked questions

A technical report with the regulatory framework, the maximum building capacity, programme scenarios and a clear recommendation for the investment decision.
The timeframe depends on the complexity of the plot and the municipality. After an initial review, we quote a fixed deadline and fee.
Yes. We work regularly with the PDM and regulations of several municipalities — Lisbon, Sintra, Cascais, Oeiras, Mafra and Alcobaça, among others.
That is also a result: it prevents a bad investment. The report identifies the possible alternatives within the regulatory framework.
Yes. LANDSCOPE is the ideal basis for the next step: preliminary design, permitting and detailed design, within the same practice.
In most cases, the property tax document (caderneta predial) and the exact location of the plot or property are enough. The land registry certificate, when available, enriches the analysis — and we take care of the rest.
Base (48 hours) gives an objective reading of the potential and constraints; Standard (3 working days) goes deeper into REN, RAN, easements and scenarios; Premium adds a volumetric study of the possible structure, with a timeframe adjusted to the scale.
It is — especially if the contract includes a feasibility clause or a verification period. A study like this has already prevented the purchase of a plot with no building capacity at all.
Why the studio

A single point of contact

From the preliminary study to the delivery of the works, you always speak with whoever designed the project.

Fewer errors, fewer overruns

The BIM model eliminates incompatibilities before construction begins — deadlines met, budgets respected.

Real knowledge of the municipalities

86 projects across 16 municipalities. We know each council's practice — and that shortens permitting.

BIM methodology

All the studio's services are developed in BIM (Building Information Modeling): the building is built virtually before the works — fewer errors, controlled costs and better-informed decisions.
