Kick-start your project with a feasibility scan
What do we do in a feasibility scan?
Every project is different and requires a tailor made approach.
With Circular we think out of the box, are system thinkers, always with our noses towards the future.
So what do we do in a feasibility scan?
Together we investigate the feasibility of sustainability services in the project.
Think of energy and water services like district heating, local water treatment and reuse, local energy communities, electric mobility, green areas, …
We look at links with the neighborhood, natural environment, nearby industries, …
Together we select the best technologies, determine operational boundaries, assist in master planning and perform an initial financial calculation to see what is feasible for the real estate development.

A sustainable business model
In the heart of every feasibility scan, there is a sustainable business model.
When developing our business model, we translate the added value of sustainability into a long-term service and business model.
In this way long-term benefits, otherwise lost are now valorized.
