Engineering Consulting (engineering due diligence)
In new economic situation and also at a condition of availability of vast pool of offers and approximately equal prices competition, major role at the stage of selection of facility will be concentrated towards to its competitive advantages and limitations in engineering systems package:
- Dedicated capacities and technical conditions, their scope and compliance to current needs of the Client and also future extension in potential.
- Technical possibilities to add extra area (additional floors and galleries) to fit into targeted floor layout.
- Potential abilities to add extra loading capacity on constructed floor slabs, to install elevators, to reconstruct or relocate stair cases.
- Not discovered by future owner of facility hidden defects and possible technical risks: water in the basement, roof and carrying-load walls defects, foundation and floor slabs damages, general state of facility as state of failure.
- Possible administrative risks, failure or limitations to receive permits and approvals for desired modifications of facility, possible demolition with further compensation of cadastral cost in accordance with new architectural town planning conception.
Often even completion of fit-out in selected facility can not ensure but sometimes covers limitations of premises.
That’s why we pay special attention to engineering criteria of facility and their compliance to Client’ requirements.
1. . Valuation of possible engineering risks
Valuation of status of load-carrying structures (highly sought by banking, IT as of enhanced requirements to permissible load on floor slab). To provide analysis of possibility to add reinforcement and than apply extended load on load-carrying structures will required to conduct survey of floor slabs, walls, foundation slab, other structural elements and carrying grounds with use of quantitative analytical methods, make structural calculations and make design for reinforcement taking into account not only location but also all basebulding in total.
2. Valuation of received technical conditions and installed MEP systems of facility
During construction of most modern facilities it is often commented that compliance to code of practice suffers omissions and discrepancies in ventilation, thermo insulation and other relevant technical criteria. Many developers in trend of rough cost optimization.
Also one of most widespread issue on given day is shortage of electric power allowed for operation of facility. In other words electrical capacity allocated for all building originally has been calculated for typical open space floor layout with minimum headcount that as a rule shows significant difference to approach meant by its new owner..
Building as a rule is thirsting for thermal capacity that is critical not only for central heating but also for heating supply air for ventilation in period with cold temperatures. Finally new owner is trying to increase by own means required capacity values that often is either impossible or extremely economically irrational for project.

4. Valuation of compliance of usable area of the building with required quantity of working places
Size of premises inside of the building is a considerably important criterion that unfortunately slips out and not always properly selected by designers. Our goal is provide Client with calculations of possible headcounts and possibility to place rooms for special purposes (if required) from earliest stage of negotiations.
5. Valuation of efficiency general arrangement floor layout and their adjustment to Client’s needs
In situation where prevail massive construction and acute shortage of highly qualified designers, floor layout of many premises have series of issues, like inefficient natural illumination. This leads to either negative in perception of personnel regarding their working places, or additional costs on side of owner or tenant on extra electrical lighting. And this is not only exclusive issue followed from poor concept floor layout solutions.
We are considering test fit exercise with future floor layout as complex task where required to comply with Client’s requirements, modern design trends in architectural conception and construction approach, requirements of supervision authorities, possible reinforcement of load-carrying structures, future engineering communications and, finally we’ll have ideally balanced project.
6. Preparation and monitoring of schedule of payments and construction programme of works on site
We preparing coordinated schedules of payments, procurement of materials and construction woks considering technological processes of design, construction and engineering works that allows investor to arrange for programme management and monitoring of all processes on project.
