Client-side advisory across every stage of a venue project.

Strategic Advisory

JBC Projects develops detailed, evidence-based business cases that align revenue, cost and operational reality. This includes defining the core proposition, modelling revenue streams, benchmarking capital expenditure and testing operating costs across different scenarios.

 

The business case is continuously refined as the project evolves, ensuring that decisions remain aligned with commercial objectives and long-term viability.

JBC Projects defines how the venue will function day-to-day, integrated with revenue strategy across hospitality, food and beverage, sponsorship and ancillary spend to ensure that the venue is both commercially ambitious and operationally deliverable.

Feasibility studies assess whether a project should proceed and under what conditions. JBC Projects evaluates physical constraints, planning context, cost, programme, operational viability and commercial performance. Outputs are structured to support clear decision making, including risk identification and mitigation strategies.

JBC Projects identifies and evaluates development sites based on physical, operational and planning criteria. This includes transport, access, servicing, planning risk and commercial potential.

Options are compared using structured frameworks to support informed decision making.

JBC Projects uses test fits to assess what can realistically be delivered within a site, testing the physical constraints, design opportunities and operational functionality of the venue. This allows commercial and operational assumptions, including capacity, hospitality, food and beverage, sponsorship, back of house, circulation and customer experience, to be overlaid onto a physical plan so that the business case is grounded in what the site can actually support.
