Expertise Technical advisory

Our team supports real estate investors in the acquisition of properties by performing comprehensive technical due diligence. We assess the condition of buildings and their technical installations to evaluate their compliance with current regulations and local market standards (Belgium and Luxembourg). We identify potential risks and provide tailored solutions, taking into account the specific objectives of each client, whether it’s optimizing return on investment or preparing the property for future occupancy. We also carry out cost assessments for compliance work and necessary renovations, while developing a realistic investment timeline, with particular attention to projects involving change of use or building subdivision.

As part of the sale of real estate assets, we assist property owners before the sale by conducting a thorough Vendor Due diligence. This process involves analyzing the condition of the building and its technical installations, identifying any non-compliance issues, and assessing the necessary work, in order to create a clear, structured, and credible dossier for potential buyers. Our approach allows us to anticipate technical objections, enhance the transparency of the sales process, and preserve the asset’s value. By providing an objective and well-documented perspective, we help secure transactions and streamline negotiations.

Our team provides detailed technical audits to assess the condition of buildings and their technical installations.
During each audit, our experts conduct a thorough inspection to analyze the general condition of the building and the performance of its systems. We identify the necessary work to ensure compliance with current regulations and market standards. Improving the building’s energy performance is an integral part of our objectives, with particular focus on analyzing energy consumption, the status of existing environmental certifications (BREEAM, WELL, PEB, etc.), and identifying the investments required to achieve or maintain a certain level of certification. Depending on the condition of the property, we prioritize the actions to be taken and propose an investment timeline, taking into account the building’s age and the condition of its equipment.

Our experts prepare ESG reports to assess the environmental, social, and governance impact of buildings, based on the latest standards and regulations (SFDR, EU Taxonomy, CSRD, etc.). We specifically integrate a CREMM analysis (Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor) to identify the gap between the current performance of the building and the expected decarbonization pathways, in line with European climate goals.
Our reports provide concrete recommendations to improve energy efficiency, reduce the carbon footprint, and strengthen the social and governance aspects related to the management of the asset. This approach allows our clients to better meet the criteria for responsible investment while preserving and enhancing the sustainable performance of their real estate portfolio.

We conduct independent and accurate assessments of the full rebuilding costs of buildings, for insurance companies. This service helps determine the appropriate coverage amount in the event of a total loss, taking into account the technical characteristics of the property, current regulations, and the current construction prices.
