Building Consultancy Services

Technical Due Diligence

Our Technical Due Diligence (TDD) services provide investors, owners, and occupiers with a comprehensive understanding of a property’s physical condition, compliance and environmental status, and lifecycle cost risk across all asset classes. We deliver detailed, independent assessments that identify commercial risks, maintenance liabilities, and capital expenditure requirements, enabling informed decision-making during acquisition or divestment. Our reports encompass structural and building fabric condition, services infrastructure, accessibility and BCA compliance, environmental performance, and statutory obligations. Combining technical accuracy with commercial insight, our consultancy ensures that every TDD engagement supports strategic investment outcomes and long-term asset performance.

Make Good Assessments

Our Make Good Assessment services provide clear, independent advice to landlords and tenants on their lease-end obligations, ensuring transparency and compliance with lease terms and relevant standards. We assess the condition of premises against ingoing documentation and lease covenants to determine reinstatement, repair, and redecoration requirements. Each assessment includes detailed cost estimates, scope definitions, and photographic evidence to support effective negotiation and settlement. Drawing on our deep understanding of commercial, industrial, and retail assets, we deliver reports that balance technical accuracy with practical, commercially focused recommendations - helping both parties achieve fair and efficient lease closure outcomes.

Ingoing Condition Reports

Our Ingoing Condition Report services establish a clear and defensible record of a property’s condition at lease commencement, or at a specific time during occupation. Prepared with precision and supported by comprehensive photographic evidence, each report documents the state of all building elements, finishes, and services to protect the interests of both landlord and tenant. We provide detailed, objective assessments across commercial, industrial, retail, and mixed-use assets, ensuring that future lease negotiations and make good discussions are based on accurate baseline information. Our reports combine technical expertise with practical insight to deliver reliable documentation that supports compliance, risk management, and smooth lease administration.

Technical Asset Registers and Condition Assessments

Our integrated Technical Asset Register and Condition Assessment services provide a comprehensive foundation for effective asset management and long-term capital planning. We deliver accurate, site-verified inventories of building elements and services, each assessed for current condition, remaining useful life, and maintenance priority. This data-driven approach enables asset owners and facility managers to make informed decisions on maintenance, refurbishment, and replacement strategies. Applicable across all property sectors, our reports are structured to support lifecycle forecasting, budget allocation, and compliance reporting. Combining technical precision with practical understanding of operational environments, we provide clear, actionable insights that optimise asset performance and sustainability over time.

Strata Building Bond and Inspection Scheme (SBBIS) Services

As registered building inspectors under the NSW Strata Building Bond and Inspection Scheme, we provide independent, compliant inspections for newly constructed residential strata developments. Our services cover the full inspection process - interim, and final - in accordance with NSW Fair Trading requirements. We deliver detailed, evidence-based reports that identify defects, support timely resolution, and ensure statutory compliance. With our in-depth knowledge and experience of building pathology and construction, we provide impartial assessments to help protect the interests of both developers and owners corporations while promoting confidence in strata building quality.

Building Services Engineering Consultancy

We provide independent technical assessments and advisory services across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, fire protection, and vertical transportation systems. Focusing on performance, compliance, and lifecycle condition rather than design, our engineers deliver clear, evidence-based reporting to identify risks, maintenance priorities, and upgrade needs. Our objective is to ensure building services operate safely, efficiently, and in alignment with current standards and best practice.

Asset Management Plan Assessments & Asset Registers

We provide independent preparation and review of Asset Management Plans (AMPs) and asset registers in accordance with the NSW Retirement Villages Act 1999 and updated 2025 Regulations. Our services ensure compliance by verifying ten-year maintenance and replacement forecasts, cost allocations, and asset condition data. We help operators maintain transparent, accurate, and up-to-date documentation that supports effective long-term planning, regulatory compliance, and sustainable management of retirement village assets.
