A Feasibility Study is a preliminary study for a project that compares the Monolithic Dome Process to other building systems.

This preliminary analysis defines the design and intent of the project and provides an estimated budget and schedule, based on the best available information. Monolithic produces a Feasibility Study to assist a client before full design, management and/or construction services are engaged.

Such a study provides “pre-design” plans. Projects that continue from the Feasibility Study utilize the information in the next phases of project design and development, therefore shortening the project's pre-construction time. It also saves design costs.

MDI engages additional qualified design professionals, as appropriate, to study the client's program and project requirements. Concept plans and elevations are produced. A preliminary budget and construction schedule are established by utilizing the information from the study and working with the Monolithic team and the client's representatives.
