Expertise / Due Diligence
A crucial point within the Real Estate Life Cycle is Due Diligence – assessing the essence of a building and its systems before a purchase deal is finalized. Our solid, in house technical and financial know-how is combined with an ability to assemble other specialized environmental consultants such as geotechnical and environmental to provide comprehensive due diligence services.
Inspecting and Protecting
Due Diligence protects clients – when it comes to uncovering faulty building systems or components, we sometimes deliver news that impacts a deal from moving ahead. But as equally compelling, our investigations can arm clients with proprietary information that allows them to renegotiate the terms of a deal – often for millions of dollars in their favor – or strategize on technical or timing options that allow the deal to advance with our clients fully aware of the costs to accurately underwrite the purchase. For our Due Diligence clients, real estate is an enormous investment, be they REITs, pension funds, educational institutions or foreign governments. Check out some of our Due Diligence success stories, and other Case Studies.
As part of our Due Diligence work, we get to know the roof, the building envelope and the elevators, every pipe and switch, every beam and window – in other words, the infrastructure and underpinnings of a building. Our professionals revel in being on site, getting their hands dirty, even hanging from ropes as they investigate a facade. Our Due Diligence practice is known worldwide, due largely to our unique combination of technical and business know-how.
Beyond Due Diligence
As C3 is all about continuity across the Real Estate Life Cycle, there's a logical and natural segue from acquisition to the ownership period, when we are still there for clients helping them understand long-term Capital Planning , engaging in Engineering and construction Project Management services and helping clients' position and market the property.
