Our report will provide a detailed Property Technical Due Diligence review and evaluation of the property’s physical health, land condition and commercial viability:

Existing services: We investigate and report on the existing equipment and essential utilities, including Mechanical, Electrical, Lighting, Hydraulic, Sewage and Fire Protection systems.
Test Fit Assessment: We analyse the building, site and space to provide an evaluation in architecture and design to see if the space can physically function to meet your industrial/commercial needs, and provide a visual perspective of the future operation.
Contamination, Hazardous Materials and Electromagnetic Field: As the commercial and industrial consultant, we review existing registers and or conduct audits to identify the presence of Asbestos, PFAS, Lead, or other hazards within the building or in the ground. This enables you to be informed and outlines the risks to occupants’ or workers’ health, and the potential remediation costs if required.
DDA and Accessibility: We assess existing amenities, access and more. Providing a report on current conditions that enables you to manage your next action.
Feature Survey and Topography: Where required, we complete the survey to capture the existing important items of the building and or land to enable proper planning for your development, operations, and ability to generate accurate budgets.
Traffic Assessment: We examine the location, undertake studies that will determine the requirement of traffic engineering if required for the development of the commercial/industrial site.

What is Technical Due Diligence and why do I need it?
Technical Due Diligence (TDD) is an independent assessment of a property’s physical condition (snap shot), compliance, and future capital costs, giving property owners, buyers, investors, developers and financiers the risk visibility they need before committing to a transaction, or forecasting capex and maintenance program.
What does an Etairos TDD assessment cover?
The TDD is tailored to your requirements. Upon a meeting, an intake questionnaire is completed to begin the scoping process.
Typically, the TDD covers physical condition of the building and services, compliance and regulatory review, and capital expenditure (CAPEX) forecasting covering structure, roofing, façade, mechanical, electrical, fire and hydraulic services, and essential safety measures.
Who typically commissions a Technical Due Diligence report?
Purchasers, incoming tenants, investors, financiers, and their legal or transaction advisers typically before acquisition, lease commitment, or financing of commercial and industrial property.
Developers and property owners to know the existing condition and details of their property to assist with design development, tenders and construction.
How long does a Technical Due Diligence assessment take?
Typically 3 weeks from engagement depending on property size, access, and available documentation. We work to specific timeframes and can prioritise key risk items early where a transaction deadline is tight.
Can Etairos conduct TDD on a project that is still under construction?
Yes. We assess works in progress against contract documents, approvals, and the NCC. Useful for fund-through acquisitions, staged settlements, or purchasers buying off-plan.
How is an Etairos TDD report delivered?
Upon scope confirmation, a written report covering the scope items such as condition, compliance, risks, and CAPEX forecasts, with photographic evidence and prioritised recommendations. Findings can be briefed to you or your advisers directly.
