Technical due diligence
The technical condition of a building is crucial for its valuation during purchase or sale. A Technical Due Diligence (TDD) provides essential insight into the opportunities and risks associated with real estate. Nowadays, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations also play an increasingly significant role. We combine the technical inspection with a comprehensive ESG scan to ensure you have all the necessary information.
Through TDD, we provide an understanding of the building's technical condition based on desk research and an on-site visual inspection. You will receive a reliable assessment of both the structural and mechanical conditions, including maintenance status and any existing defects. This information is translated into a comprehensible red-flag report and a capital expenditure (Capex) forecast over an agreed timeframe. Our extensive SGS network also allows us to support you in international purchase and sale transactions.
Comprehensive insight with combined inspections
Increasingly, we are integrating traditional technical inspections with additional assessments such as:
1. A quickscan for fire safety.
2. An energy scan or energy performance advice (EPA).
3. An ESG real estate scan.
4. A floor area measurement according to NEN 2580 standards.
5. A BREEAM In-Use Pre-assessment.
Depending on your objectives, we advise on the best investigative approach to obtain a comprehensive view of the buildings in question. By intelligently combining inspections within the Technical Due Diligence process, we keep the investment in time and money as low as possible.
