Technical Due Diligence Services

We provide independent technical assessments that enable investors, lenders, developers, and asset owners to make informed investment decisions with confidence.

Technical Due Diligence identifies the risks, constraints, and capital requirements that influence asset value and project viability. Focal combines technical expertise with practical project delivery experience to provide clear, evidence-based assessments before investment decisions are made.

Decisions rely on accurate information

Focal assesses the physical condition, regulatory compliance, operational performance, and development potential of existing assets through a structured Technical Due Diligence process. Our multidisciplinary teams review available documentation, inspect buildings and infrastructure, and evaluate the technical factors that may affect project performance, asset value, or future investment requirements.

Our assessments include planning, zoning, permitting, and building regulation compliance, together with reviews of structural condition, building fabric, electromechanical systems, fire safety, environmental requirements, and other statutory obligations. We also evaluate development opportunities, physical constraints, and capital expenditure requirements, providing realistic forecasts for remedial works and future investment.

Our technical assessments also support transaction decisions, including acquisitions, developments, refinancing, and distressed asset evaluations. Through structured reviews, site inspections, and specialist analysis, we identify potential risks, assess mitigation measures, and provide practical recommendations.

Where required, we review ownership documentation, lease agreements, and property records to identify technical issues that may affect transactions or future development.

Our findings are consolidated into a concise, decision-focused report that prioritises technical risks, identifies recommended actions, and provides the information required to support acquisitions, financing, asset repositioning, and development decisions.

Focal replaces assumptions with evidence, helping clients understand project risk, validate investment assumptions, and protect asset value before committing capital.
