Due Diligence

Clear technical footing for every real-estate decision

Before you buy, sell, or invest, you need an honest read on a building's condition and risk. We provide independent technical due diligence: objective assessment, applied on your behalf, that turns systems and physical condition into decisions you can defend.

On representation & independence. Where we represent one party, that representation is advocacy built on independent assessment: our objectivity is in the methodology and the absence of design, product, or contractor ties, applied on your behalf.

Technical due diligence

Independent assessment of building systems and performance to inform acquisition and investment decisions.

Property condition assessments

A structured review of building condition, deficiencies, and near-term needs across major systems, consistent with ASTM E2018 practice; based on readily observable conditions, not exhaustive.

Mechanical system risk assessment

A condition-and-risk review of mechanical systems, flagging reliability, capacity-adequacy, and end-of-life risks for your planning; modifications are executed by a licensed design professional.

Remaining useful life estimates

Remaining-useful-life estimates based on observed condition, age, and published industry service-life data. These are planning estimates, not engineering determinations or warranties.

Capital reserve studies

Capital-planning and reserve forecasting: we inventory major assets, estimate replacement timing from observed condition, and produce a prioritized capital plan for budgeting.

Acquisition support

Technical support through the diligence period, from document review to walkthroughs and findings.

Seller representation

Preparing and substantiating building condition to support a credible, well-documented sale: advocacy built on independent assessment.

Buyer representation

An independent technical advocate protecting the buyer's interests through the transaction; the objectivity is in our methodology and the absence of design/product/contractor ties.

What to expect

A scope tied to useful, concrete outputs.

The exact activities and deliverables are defined in writing for your building. A typical due diligence engagement draws from the following.

Typical outputs

  • A decision-ready findings report with observed conditions and key risks
  • Condition, remaining-life, and near-term capital tables where scoped
  • A prioritized summary for acquisition, disposition, or investment decisions

Common inputs

  • Data-room records, drawings, prior reports, utility and maintenance history
  • A site walkthrough, equipment inventory, photos, and stakeholder interviews
  • Transaction timing and the decisions the analysis needs to support
