Technical Due Diligence

Technical due diligence is the structured review, analysis, investigation and gathering of information about the physical characteristics of a property and/or land.

Put into a technical due diligence report, these can be used by a prospective buyer, occupier or financer to make an informed assessment of any risks from a technical perspective.

The process can identify any defects, damage or deficiencies that could impact on the asset’s value or the safety of occupants in the short, medium and long term.

Reinstatement Cost Assessment (RCA)

The right level of insurance cover is a key element of your risk management strategy, whether you’re a property owner, occupier or investor. 

Brawdia differ from other firms by ensuring a chartered surveyor with senior level experience is allocated to every instruction, whether a one off asset or a large portfolio.

We work with you through the insurance process, understanding your assets with initial desktop due diligence, inspecting properties in accordance with RICS Guidance Notes and providing accurate reinstatement costs. We understand the insurance lifecycle and can work with you, your brokers and insurers to mitigate risk across your portfolios.

We can prevent you being under-insured, which exposes you to potential losses in the event of a claim, and ensure you aren’t over-insured, paying premiums that are too high. Our reports provide a breakdown of re-build costs, demolitions, fees and VAT.

We are a credible consultancy who have in-house cost data and cost consultancy which is supplemented with industry data. Where appropriate, we use an elemental approach to ensure accuracy and provide bespoke assessments. The RCA team is spread nation-wide and experienced in this service.

The expert team ensure full consideration is given to the scope of insurance to provide you with reliable reports.
