Focus Areas
Lenders/Investor's Technical Advisory
Provide detailed analysis and explanation of the project scope, contracts, and technical risks throughout the demanding bid phase of a project to enable lenders and investors to make informed investment decisions.
Secondary Market Transactions Due Diligence
Provide technical advisory due diligence to support the asset buyers or sellers. We deliver a third-party view of the project’s technical aspects including an opinion on the adequacy of capital and maintenance budgets, which pertain to the condition of the asset and the contract requirements.
Building Condition Assessments
Collaborate with a team of qualified subject matter experts to ensure asset elements are accurately addressed and presented. Specialists such as elevator, envelope, mechanical, and electrical consultants conduct onsite assessments and highlight important issues to be addressed by the client.
Joint Technical Reviews
Review of contract specifics and building condition assessments during the operational phase of a project. Our understanding of the private partner delivery practises and the P3 contact model provides us the perfect foundation to complete these independent reviews.
Look-Back/Look-Forward Tests
Provide independent assessment of the work completed (Look-Back) by conducting an audit of invoices, or outstanding work to be executed (Look-Forward) through a condition assessment and comparison to the hand back/expiry requirements.
