Technical Advisory for Real Estate Transactions

Technical Due Diligence

Technical due diligence forms the foundation of most transaction processes. We assess the building fabric, systems, and technical risks to provide a clear view of condition, liabilities, and future capital requirements.

• Review of technical documentation
• Site inspections and condition assessment
• Identification of material risks and deficiencies
• CAPEX planning and lifecycle considerations

Environmental and energy-related assessments can be incorporated as part of a unified due diligence process.

Our approach is structured to support decision-making, focusing on what matters for pricing, negotiation, and risk allocation.

Transaction Preparation (Sell-side)

Preparing technical information in advance of a transaction improves control, reduces uncertainty, and supports a more efficient sales process. We support vendors by identifying key technical risks, clarifying asset condition, and structuring information in a way that aligns with market expectations.

• Pre-sale technical review of buildings and systems
• Identification of material risks and documentation gaps
• CAPEX overview to support pricing and positioning
• Preparation of technical information for transaction use
• Support during buyer due diligence and Q&A
• Energy-efficiency roadmaps

A well-prepared technical position helps reduce pricing friction, shortens due diligence timelines, and improves transparency during the transaction process.

Pre-bid Technical Advisory

In competitive processes, early technical insight can be critical. We provide focused, rapid assessments to support bid strategy and pricing before full due diligence is available.

• High-level technical screening
• Identification of key risks and uncertainties
• Indicative CAPEX for pricing
• Input to bid strategy

This allows you to move with confidence, even under tight timelines.

Development Phase Advisory

In development and forward-funding projects, the technical focus shifts from existing condition to planned solutions.

We review design, specifications, cost assumptions, and execution risks to ensure that the proposed development is robust, aligned with the investment case, and realistically deliverable.

• Review of design and technical specifications
• Identification of technical and execution risks
• Alignment with investment strategy and timeline

Our approach

We focus on the technical aspects that matter for the transaction — risk, value, and capital.

Our work is structured around the transaction context, ensuring that the scope and findings reflect what is relevant to the client’s decision-making.

We work closely with our clients throughout the process, ensuring that technical insight remains aligned with the transaction timeline and supports pricing, negotiation, and risk allocation.

At the same time, we structure technical information in a way that remains usable beyond the transaction, supporting the transition into ownership and ongoing asset management.

Where multiple technical inputs are involved, we can take a coordinating role to ensure consistency and comparability across the due diligence process.
