Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a standard due diligence package?
A typical due diligence package includes a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, Property Condition Assessment, ALTA/NSPS Survey, and Zoning Report. Additional studies such as seismic assessments, ADA surveys, or specialty environmental testing may be recommended based on property type, location, and transaction requirements.
How long do technical studies typically take?
Timelines vary by study type and property complexity. Phase I ESAs typically require 2‑3 weeks, Property Condition Assessments 1‑2 weeks, and ALTA Surveys 2‑4 weeks. We can expedite studies when needed and coordinate multiple consultants to run studies concurrently, minimizing overall due diligence timelines.
Do you manage third‑party consultants?
Yes, we serve as a single point of contact for all technical studies, coordinating qualified consultants, managing schedules, reviewing deliverables for quality and completeness, and consolidating findings into actionable summaries for our clients.
