Project Feasibility Analysis
As a first step for the development of a project, we perform an environmental feasibility analysis considering the Environmental Law regulations of the three governmental areas, as well as the guidelines set forth in the Ecological Management Programs, which will allow us to clearly define the environmental parameters that the project must respect, as well as the applicable restrictions (Land Use Coefficient, Land Occupancy Coefficient, permitted infrastructure, etc.).
This allows the investor to have precise knowledge of the environmental limitations of the property where the project is to be developed, facilitating effective and adequate decision making with awareness of the risks and opportunities presented by the property.
