About the service ## What technical due diligence is A standard part of the wider due diligence process alongside the legal, financial, and tax workstreams. The aim is to uncover technical risks that affect the purchase price, and CapEx and OpEx in the years to come. Technical due diligence (TDD) is a **structured assessment of a property's technical condition before acquisition**. We prepare a basis that your transaction team uses to decide on the acquisition and to negotiate with the counterparty. We work on office buildings, retail properties, warehouses and logistics centres, hotels, residential projects, and mixed commercial portfolios. For each commission we assemble a team to match the type of asset: a structural engineer, a MEP specialist, a fire safety specialist, and where needed an external environmental assessment expert. 2–6 weeks from consultation to report 50–80 pages length of the final report CZK 5M professional indemnity insurance CS / EN report language - ### Before acquiring a single commercial property. TDD as an input for negotiating the purchase price, a 5 to 10 year CapEx plan, and an assessment of technical risks. We work in parallel with your legal and financial advisors. - ### Before acquiring an entire property portfolio. A separate TDD report for each asset and an executive summary for the whole portfolio. We help distinguish which assets pull portfolio value up and which are in fact a technical burden for the years ahead. - ### When refinancing a loan. The bank requires an up-to-date technical assessment as a basis for the loan. We deliver a report in a format the bank accepts, including an executive summary and a structured risk assessment. - ### In internal asset management. An independent review of a portfolio's investment needs, an input into the CapEx forecast for the coming years. Particularly useful after a change of asset manager or as preparation for a valuation.

Output ## What youreceive **A technical due diligence report in PDF.** Typically 50 to 80 pages, depending on the size and complexity of the asset.

We go through the type and size of the property, the closing date, the scope of TDD required, and the specific questions you want covered. We answer questions about methodology and references. The consultation is without obligation and usually takes around 1 hour. 1. 02 ### Price quote and contract with NDA Fixed price We prepare a quote with a fixed price and deadline. Signing an NDA before any documentation is shared is standard. We accept your standard template, or prepare our own. 1. 03 ### Preparation and access Team matched to the property You arrange access to the documentation (project design, occupancy permit, and any existing energy audit and inspection reports) and access to the property. We assemble the team of inspectors and agree the dates for the on-site survey. 1. 04 ### On-site survey and document analysis 2 to 5 days Our team of inspectors carries out a detailed survey of the property. For larger properties this takes 2 to 5 working days. In parallel we analyze the documentation provided. We keep the client informed throughout if we come across a finding that affects the transaction. We then write everything up into a clear technical due diligence report. 1. 05 ### Handover of the report and presentation 2 to 3 weeks We hand over the TDD report on the agreed date, as standard 2 to 3 weeks after the survey is completed. On request we present the report in person to the investment committee or management. After handover we remain available for follow-up questions and to support negotiations with the seller.

Structural engineers, specialists in MEP, electrical, statics, and fire safety. On large commissions we bring in external experts for environmental assessment and energy. - ### Four-eyes review on every report Every TDD report is checked by a lead inspector before it goes to the client. Our TDD report is one of the highest-quality on the market. - ### CZK 5M professional indemnity insurance and a standard NDA Liability insurance for the firm and for each inspector covers any professional error. We sign an NDA as standard at the start of the cooperation. We handle access conditions and on-site work according to the requirements of the client and the property manager. - How much does TDD cost and how is the price set? The price depends on the type and size of the property, the scope of the areas requested, and the deadline. We work with a fixed price agreed in advance, with no hourly rates and no surprises at the end. As a guide: TDD of a single office building or retail property is usually under CZK 100,000. For portfolios we structure the price by unit. - How quickly can you deliver TDD? We have 3 weeks to closing. The standard cycle from the initial consultation to handover of the report is 3 to 6 weeks. For urgent transactions with a deadline under 3 weeks we set up a fast-track mode: the on-site survey within 5 working days of the NDA, the report within 10 days of the survey.

As standard we sign an NDA before any documentation is shared. We accept your template, or use our own. Every member of the TDD team is bound by a single confidentiality undertaking. We keep internal materials separate from other engagements and delete them after an agreed period. - Who exactly will carry out the TDD? We require a senior team. For every engagement we appoint a lead inspector who stays in continuous contact with the client. We build the team to match the type and size of the property. We present a named list of team members with the price quote, including their authorizations and experience from similar projects. You can also find the inspectors introduced on the [Our team](/en/our-team) page. - Do you carry out TDD outside Prague and for large portfolios? Yes. We have a network of 30+ inspectors across all 14 regions of the Czech Republic. For portfolio acquisitions we assemble a team able to handle several properties in parallel. The engagement lead runs the coordination, so the client has a single point of contact. - Can we receive the TDD report in English? Yes. The standard language of the report is Czech, and we deliver it in English on request. - Can you follow up TDD with further services after the acquisition? Yes. Once the transaction closes, we can continue with regular technical inspections, with preparing a repair and investment plan, and with monitoring the course of a conversion or refurbishment. - ![ČSOB](/_astro/csob.Ig39jWCe_Z26oBxD.webp) - ![Dům bez obav](/_astro/dumbezobav.D0ITly5b_Z2mQinU.webp) - ![Valuo](/_astro/valuo.DQHYLS_m_Z176JNJ.svg) - ![Asociace inspektorů nemovitostí](/_astro/ain.Cduuc6li_29lg7L.webp) - ![Sousedé.cz](/_astro/sousede.DZHsSP54_Z5C0qF.webp) - ![Central Group](/_astro/central-group.DRciFWQt_Z1wOXb9.webp) ![Tomáš Zima](/_astro/tomas-zima.Dqvd-Fjj_ZF8Fu.webp) ## Tomáš Zima Co-founder, head of B2B accounts I lead B2B accounts for developers, banks, and institutional clients.
