Pre-Development & Due Diligence
Equipping you with the best advice, pre-investment
At MTC, our Pre-Development & Due Diligence offering equips you with a clear, objective understanding of your building’s envelope and facade systems before any investment is made. By identifying potential risks and outlining necessary & pragmatic remedial strategies at an early stage, we help safeguard your asset's value and performance throughout its lifecycle.
Technical Due Diligence (Acquisition & Vendor)
A comprehensive technical assessment examines every aspect of the building’s envelope and facade systems to determine current condition, performance levels, and any latent defects. Designed to support both buyers and vendors, this evaluation highlights critical issues and recommends practical remedial measures and cost options. A detailed report of potential risks and areas for improvement enables informed decision-making during property acquisitions or sales, minimising unexpected costs and ensuring smoother transactions.
Costing
A detailed financial analysis, paired with precise estimates, covers all facets of building envelope projects—including initial construction, ongoing maintenance, and potential remedial work. This comprehensive breakdown serves as a valuable tool for budgeting and financial planning, providing a robust framework supporting informed, strategic decisions while reducing the likelihood of unforeseen expenses impacting project viability.
Defect Investigation
Thorough investigations are conducted to identify, pinpoint, and diagnose issues within building envelope systems. A meticulous examination establishes both the nature and the root causes of any defects, utilising advanced diagnostic techniques and extensive industry expertise to deliver clear, actionable recommendations for rectification. This rigorous approach ensures that underlying issues are addressed promptly, preserving the structural integrity and compliance of the property and preventing further deterioration.
Asset Improvement Plans
A structured, strategic roadmap is developed to enhance the performance and longevity of a building’s envelope. By identifying necessary upgrades and improvements that align with regulatory standards and industry best practices, immediate needs are addressed alongside long-term maintenance and performance optimisation. Clearly outlined steps and associated timelines provide a practical guide for maximising asset value and operational efficiency, ensuring your building remains competitive in the market.
Defects Liability Period & End of Warranty Inspections
Defects Liability Period inspects allow for post construction/early service life inspections to identify base build defects and/or other issues requiring remediation with the contractual defects period.
Typically completely overlooked, end of warranty period inspections position you to rely on active warranties to rectify any in-scope defects, ensuring continued building envelope performance and reduced/negated cost to you.
Retained Consultancy
Retained Consultancy affords you immediate access to our team to cover any issue over a set amount of pre-agreed and costed hours, enabling you to budget for specialist advice and support through the year.
Thermographic Surveys
Thermographic (thermal imaging) surveys enable the rapid identification of insulation issues, damp, air leakage, heat loss and other construction issues.
Safety Case Reports
A legal requirement of submission to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) for all high-rise buildings in England. We provide full managed delivery of SCRs and conduct a GAP Analysis to determine where key information is required to be obtained.
