1. FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
The use of electronic computers in feasibility analysis for construction projects involves
applying computer software and technology to evaluate the viability of a project. Here are
the details of how computers are used in each stage of feasibility analysis:
1. Project Conceptualization:
- Architects and engineers use software like Revit, ArchiCAD, and SketchUp to
2. Site Analysis:
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software like ArcGIS and QGIS analyze
3
- Computers process satellite imagery and aerial photos to assess site constraints and
opportunities.
3. Market Analysis:
- Computers analyze market trends, demand, and competition using software like
4. Financial Analysis:
- Computers run financial models using software like Excel, @RISK, and Crystal
- Sensitivity analysis and scenario planning help identify potential risks and
opportunities.
