Strategy, Feasibility &
Project Preparation
Moving projects from concept to investment-ready.
The Challenge
Most infrastructure projects fail before construction starts. Not because of bad engineering, but because preparation was incomplete.
Weak feasibility data. Incomplete safeguards planning. Unrealistic implementation assumptions.
The result is cost overruns, financing delays, or projects that never reach financial close at all.
What We Do
We help governments, DFIs, utilities, and investors transform early-stage concepts into investment-ready projects.
Our teams combine technical, environmental, social, institutional, and financial expertise within a single preparation framework. We do not hand off between separate consultants.
And we design our feasibility work to support the next stages: financing, procurement, and implementation.
Typical Client Outcomes
Integrated assessment of technical, environmental, social, and institutional feasibility — identifying problems before they become project killers.
Feasibility and safeguards documentation that meets lender and DFI standards — reducing the gap between project preparation and financial close.
Preparation designed to support procurement, not just approval — so projects move into delivery faster and with fewer mid-course corrections.
Evidence-based analysis, not optimistic assumptions — so clients commit resources with a clear understanding of viability and risk.
When Clients
Engage Us
Our project preparation services are typically engaged at four key decision points in the project lifecycle.
A government needs to assess whether a project is viable before committing public funds.
A DFI requires feasibility and safeguards documentation before approving financing.
An investor needs independent due diligence before bidding on a project or making a financing decision.
A project has stalled and requires gap analysis and remediation to get back on track.

Why Clients Choose DV
Most feasibility studies stop at analysis. We structure project preparation around implementation readiness. We evaluate not only whether a project can be built, but whether it can be financed, permitted, implemented, operated, and sustained.
