OUR COMPREHENSIVE BUILDING CONSULTANCY SERVICES

Technical Due Diligence (TDD) of property conducted by MJBC involves a systematic review, analysis, and collection of information regarding the property's physical characteristics. Collaborating with local experts, we carry out an impartial assessment, providing a comprehensive report on the property's condition and technical performance. This report aids prospective purchasers, occupiers, or financiers in understanding the technical risks of the transaction.

During the TDD process, we identify defects or deficiencies affecting the asset and occupant safety in the short, medium, or long term. These defects could stem from:

• Design and construction deficiencies
• Lack of maintenance
• Neglect or misuse
• Insufficient building services capacity reaching or exceeding its lifespan
• Environmental concerns & hazardous materials
• Non-compliance with statutory requirements, such as National Construction Code

A multidisciplinary TDD approach can uncover hidden risks, redevelopment potential, and tenancy liabilities that a single-discipline team might miss. We collaborate with other local experts  to ensure that all risks—ranging from statutory compliance, building services performance to environmental liabilities—are carefully considered and analysed. 

We conduct comprehensive condition assessments to evaluate the current state of a property with the foresight of lifecycle analysis. This process helps clients understand necessary repairs and maintenance throughout the property lifecycle, ultimately extending the life of their assets.

When a fully detailed TDD report is not required, our Condition Assessment reports are tailored to the specific needs of each client while adopting a simplified approach to formatting, typically utilising the colour-coded "traffic light" system, enabling our clients to gain a clear understanding of the property's physical risks and liabilities. 

We assist clients in planning for future expenditures with our CAPEX forecasting services. By identifying potential financial obligations, we help clients budget effectively and allocate resources wisely. CAPEX forecasts are often included alongside TDD reports and Condition Assessments.

Our portfolio asset assessments enable clients to gain an overview of their entire property portfolio.  At MJBC, we work closely with our clients to fully understand their specific requirements before creating bespoke reporting deliverables that provide the technical insights they need. We identify key performance indicators and suggest improvements to enhance value and operational efficiency.

Quality building data is key to understanding an asset portfolio, providing accurate financial forecasting, mitigating risk and unlocking its full potential.
