Technical Due Diligence (TDD)

Technical Due Diligence:  Surveys for Commercial, Industrial, Hotels, Leisure, Aged Care facilities, Education facilities and retail buildings for investment or occupational purpose and comprehensive technical reports.

Providing essential knowledge to ensure sound commercial investment decisions.

Technical Due Diligence is the process of inspecting, reviewing, analysing and assessing a property on behalf of a potential purchaser.  Most commercial property companies in New Zealand will now request a Technical Due Diligence study by a Chartered Building Surveyor or professional Engineer.

Completed properly, the process will provide the right level of information and background on a property to enable a potential purchaser to make the most well-informed decision on the purchase.  This relies on the quality of inspection, the thoroughness of the inspection and defects analysis and most importantly, the ability of the Surveyor to draft and write a report which provides an effective decision-making tool, rather than too little or too much information.
