Technical Due Diligence
Engineering-focused verification of technology, equipment, capacity, infrastructure, technical assumptions and implementation risk — for acquisitions, investments and project financing where the engineering reality decides the deal.
What is technical due diligence?
Technical due diligence (TDD) is the independent engineering assessment of whether an asset, technology or project can physically deliver what is claimed. Where financial due diligence checks the numbers, technical due diligence checks the reality that produces them: does the plant have the stated capacity, is the technology mature, is the equipment near end-of-life, will the infrastructure support the plan?
The output is a clear separation of verified capability, hidden technical risk, and required corrective investment — with the cost and severity of each.
What a technical due diligence covers.
Technical due diligence questions.
How do you evaluate CAPEX and OPEX assumptions?
We trace each material assumption back to an engineering basis — capacity to equipment, OPEX to consumption and maintenance, CAPEX to scope — and flag any figure that isn't supported by verifiable evidence. Unsupported assumptions become explicit risks, not silent ones.
Can technical due diligence change the deal price?
Frequently. Discovering deferred maintenance, a capacity shortfall or an obsolescence risk gives you an evidence-based reason to adjust price or attach conditions — which is exactly why TDD should finish before the deal is binding.
Do you cover new-build projects as well as existing assets?
Yes. For projects in development we assess scope realism, technology readiness, cost-to-complete and execution risk rather than as-built condition.
Is the engineering reality what the seller claims?
Send the target's technical documents. We'll verify capability, risk and required investment.
