Technical Due Diligence

CoveKinloch New Zealand Ltd has a team of building surveyors experienced in technical due diligence of commercial and industrial properties (Building Act 2004).

A technical due diligence is the process of systematic review, analysis and discovery in which the prospective purchaser, occupier or financier gathers information about the condition of the physical characteristics and essential services of the property.  This enables them to make an informed assessment of the risks associated with the transaction.

CoveKinloch will provide a diligent, thorough report tailored to suit the client’s requirements, often now including environmental risk and sustainability matters. It is therefore essential that prior to any site inspection or report that we obtain a full briefing and an understanding of the client’s needs.

Beyond the technical due diligence report and with the knowledge gained through the exercise we can, if required, provide additional services of ‘premises condition reports’, ‘schedules of reinstatement’ or ‘long term maintenance planning’.
