Before you begin any design or construction, it’s essential to understand what your property can actually support.
Our Feasibility Study service helps California homeowners gain clarity on zoning, site potential, and building limitations — so you can plan your project with confidence from day one.
A feasibility study is the first step toward any successful construction or renovation project. It defines the physical, legal, and environmental factors that shape how and where you can build.
In California, every parcel of land is unique — shaped by zoning codes, slope, access points, and utility connections.
Our goal is to translate these technical constraints into clear, actionable information you can use to make the right decisions.
Through our studies, we help you:
| ADU Feasibility Study | Home Feasibility Study | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Adding a detached or attached accessory unit. | Building a new primary residence or replacing an existing home. |
| Focus | ADU ordinances, utility tie-ins, size limits. | Zoning, setbacks, slope, FAR, site access. |
| Outcome | Confirms if and how an ADU can fit on your lot. | Defines buildable area and design potential for a new home. |
| Timeframe | 1–2 weeks | 1–2 weeks (varies by site complexity) |
We apply a data-driven, regulation-focused approach to assess every California property with precision.
Our method ensures that zoning, site conditions, and compliance are fully understood before design begins.
Typical turnaround: 1–2 weeks, depending on property complexity and jurisdiction.
Ataman Studio performs feasibility studies throughout California, from coastal cities to hillside communities — including Los Angeles, Pasadena, Santa Clarita, Malibu, Palo Alto, San Jose, Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, and San Diego.
Each municipality operates under distinct zoning codes, overlay districts, and procedural nuances. Our team stays current with local regulations to ensure every feasibility report is accurate, compliant, and ready for the next stage of project development.

A feasibility study defines your property’s development limits — including buildable area, height, and setbacks — so design decisions are based on facts, not assumptions. It’s the key to avoiding costly redesigns later in the process.
Both evaluate site potential and local codes, but a home feasibility study focuses on full residential construction, while an ADU study analyzes secondary units and accessory structures within an existing lot.
Yes. Ataman Studio conducts studies throughout the state — from coastal regions like Malibu and San Diego to hillside lots in Los Angeles, Pasadena, and the Bay Area.
Not necessarily. If you don’t have recent survey data, our team can work with parcel maps, zoning data, and photos to prepare a preliminary feasibility report.
Your report includes zoning summaries, buildable envelope diagrams, lot-specific notes, and recommendations for the next project stage — whether it’s architectural design, permits, or construction planning.
Our Feasibility Study gives you a clear picture of your property’s potential — from zoning limits to site opportunities. Whether you’re planning a new home or an ADU, our experts help you make informed decisions before investing in design or construction.
