Technical Due Diligence is a perfect tool to facilitate good property transactions, to initiate asset management and to achieve investment goals.
Asset Management Example
We recently identified a scope of works and managed the physical building services upgrade at a B Grade CBD commercial office, to meet the owner’s repositioning needs.
The project had to meet the best balance of cost, energy savings, depreciation and return on investment.
The upgrade included replacement chiller and cooling towers, installation of a Building Management Controls System (BMCS), tenancy lighting upgrade, car park ventilation and Fire Indicator Panel.
The outcome has seen 39% savings in electricity; 66% savings in gas. 2-star improvement in NABERS Energy rating – from 2.5 stars to 4.5 stars, or from below ‘average’ performance to above ‘good’ performance.

Acquisition Examples
We recently assessed an A Grade CBD commercial office property for an investment manager. In addition to the core technical due diligence identification of risks and opportunities, we assessed the building’s performance against NABERS energy, water, waste and indoor air quality. Energy reduction initiatives were then identified in lighting, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and Building Management Systems (BMS) together with operational cost savings and payback periods.
The functionality of the property was assessed from an occupier's point of view. From arriving at the property, the accessibility and interaction with other spaces, such as end of trip facilities, lift lobbies and retail tenancies. Architectural concepts and feasibility cost estimates were prepared to improve the building’s attractiveness at street level and to provide better connectivity between the internal functional spaces.
The provision for accessible amenities was assessed against the Premises Standards and cost effective strategies were devised for compliance.
