When is Technical Due Diligence required?

Structural Integrity Assessment:

Validx & ICDQ Partners conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the structural elements of your building, including foundations, walls, and roofs. Our goal is to identify any signs of deterioration, damage, or potential risks that may compromise the integrity of the structure.

Safety and Accessibility Verification:

We assess the safety features and accessibility of your building, ensuring compliance with relevant safety standards. This includes examinations of staircases, handrails, emergency exits, and other critical components.

Building Systems Inspection:

ValidX examines the functionality and condition of essential building systems, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and fire safety systems. This thorough inspection helps uncover any issues that may impact the operational efficiency of the building.

Environmental and Energy Efficiency Assessment:

In addition to structural evaluations, we assess the environmental impact and energy efficiency of your building. This includes checks for potential environmental hazards and recommendations for energy-saving measures.

Detailed Inspection Reports:

Upon completion of the building inspection, Validx & ICDQ Partners provides detailed reports that include:

  • Findings and observations
  • Recommendations for repairs or improvements
  • Compliance status with building codes and regulations
  • Actionable insights for property maintenance and management

Our inspection may consider foundations and structural elements that are visible and accessible, walls, roofs, façades, balconies, terraces, basements, waterproofing, windows, doors and other principal elements of the building fabric. The assessment identifies visible deterioration, cracking, moisture, corrosion, deformation or other indicators that may require repair or further specialist investigation.

Repair priorities and indicative CAPEX

Findings are classified according to their significance, urgency and potential effect on the investment decision.

Where included in the scope, the report may provide an indicative assessment of:

  • Immediate remedial works
  • Short- and medium-term repair priorities
  • Deferred maintenance
  • Upgrade requirements
  • Further specialist investigations
  • Potential capital expenditure

Detailed bills of quantities, formal cost plans and cost-to-complete assessments require the involvement of an appropriately qualified cost consultant or quantity surveyor.

Asset-specific Technical Due Diligence

Residences and premium villas:

For residential acquisitions, the assessment focuses on the physical condition of the property, visible construction defects, building services, external infrastructure, immediate repair requirements and matters that may affect safe and satisfactory ownership. For complex villas and island estates, the scope may also include independent water, wastewater, energy, pool, access and backup-power systems.

Plots and development land:

For plots and land parcels, the technical review may consider available planning parameters, topographical information, apparent buildability constraints, access, utilities, ground conditions and the infrastructure needed to support the intended development. Formal confirmation of planning rights, land boundaries and legal title is undertaken by the appropriately licensed surveyors, engineers and legal advisers.

Hotels and hospitality assets:

Hotel Technical Due Diligence may extend beyond the building fabric to include: Guestrooms and public areas, Kitchens, laundry and back-of-house facilities, HVAC and domestic hot-water capacity, Pools, spas and water treatment, Fire and life-safety systems, Vertical transportation, Operational infrastructure, Deferred maintenance, FF&E-related technical observations, Opening or operational-readiness matters, Immediate and lifecycle CAPEX. The technical review may support acquisition, refurbishment, repositioning, refinancing or asset-management decisions.

Commercial and income-producing assets:

For commercial, mixed-use or income-producing properties, the assessment may address physical condition, operational infrastructure, statutory inspection status, maintenance exposure, remaining useful life and the technical factors that may affect continued occupation or future investment.

A Technical Due Diligence report is an independent assessment of a property’s physical condition, available technical documentation, material risks and likely repair or investment requirements. It helps a buyer or investor understand the technical exposure associated with an acquisition or development decision.

A building inspection primarily examines the observable condition of the property. Technical Due Diligence places those findings within the wider transaction context and may also include documentation review, risk classification, CAPEX observations, specialist coordination and reporting for investors or professional advisers.

No. Ownership, title, encumbrances and contractual matters are reviewed by the client’s lawyer and notary. VALIDX reviews available technical and planning documentation for apparent gaps or inconsistencies and identifies matters requiring formal confirmation.

The report may be disclosed to a financing institution for information, subject to the agreed terms. Formal bank reliance, duty of care or use for loan drawdown decisions requires a separate written agreement and lender-approved scope.

Yes. The scope may include the physical hotel asset, MEP systems, operational infrastructure, deferred maintenance, technical CAPEX, construction progress, commissioning and opening readiness. Hotel-market feasibility, valuation and financial underwriting are provided by the relevant specialist advisers.

Indicative CAPEX observations can be included where sufficient information is available. Detailed cost plans, bills of quantities and formal cost-to-complete assessments require an appropriately qualified cost consultant.

The timetable depends on the size and complexity of the asset, its location, access, the quality of available documentation and the need for specialist investigations. The programme is confirmed after the initial questionnaire and scoping review.

The fee is based on the asset type, size, location, documentation, inspection requirements, reporting depth and intended use of the report. VALIDX issues a fixed proposal after reviewing the preliminary TDD questionnaire.
