Project context: Logistics asset
Client objective
Technical due diligence of a warehouse and preliminary assessment of remedial capital expenditure.
Scope of work
- Visual inspection of load-bearing and building envelope structures was conducted, assessing the degree of wear and identifying critical defects.
- Diagnostics of engineering systems was performed: heating, ventilation, water supply, power supply.
- Fire safety systems were checked for compliance with current regulatory requirements: automatic fire extinguishing, alarm, and smoke exhaust systems, presence of design documentation.
- A preliminary estimate of the capital expenditure (CAPEX) budget for remedial measures was prepared.
Deliverables and outcome
The client received an independent technical report with photographic documentation of key areas, a structured table of defects and risks, and specific recommendations for eliminating identified violations. An evidentiary base was formed for making an informed investment decision: a clear understanding of the actual technical condition of the asset and the costs of bringing it into proper operational condition.
Value to the client
The inspection connects the actual condition of the asset with the works and expenditure needed to address defects. This provides an evidence base for the investment decision and an understanding of the asset’s remedial requirements.
