Technical Advisory

i3PT’s multi-disciplinary technical advisors work with investors,
developers and occupiers to ensure that their interests are protected.

About this service

Many of our clients have reported the difficulties which exist with traditional technical advisory (and project monitoring) teams which often comprise of up to five individual firms. This can often lead to a disjointed approach and a sub-standard service. With i3PT, clients benefits from a clear reporting structure, a common understanding of our role and superior level of technical oversight. Moreover, everything that we do is captured digitally using our obi® platform.

How do we work?

Our technical advisory teams include architectural, civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, fire, ESG, sustainability and accessibility professionals. This vertically-integrated approach significantly reduces the likelihood that issues will be missed through a lack of collaboration and coordination. It also reduces the number of contracts, collateral warranties and points of contact which need to be chased on behalf of our clients.

Our rigorous methodology, our focus on site inspection and our investment is smart digitalisation set us apart from the competition. Once a client chooses i3PT for technical advisory or project monitoring service, they see the value that we bring and they work with us again and again.

Technical Due Diligence

Our team works with some of the largest investors and funds in the world providing TDD for real estate transactions. We engage in early-stage pre-acquisition reviews, as well as supporting clients during forward fund and forward purchase transactions.

Every query and every decision is captured digitally and we merge our TDD services with existing ESG, Digitalisation and Building Safety services to minimise our client’s risk at every juncture.

Digitalisation

i3PT realised at an early stage that our process (which was based on the methodology for food certification) would require a digital platform in order to demonstrate due diligence. With this in mind, we set about developing the obi® platform in 2013.

The obi® platform has since developed exponentially, expanding both in terms of functionality and sheer volume of users. Today it allows us to manage virtually all key aspects of a construction project, as well as providing CAFM tools and ESG management during the operations phase. It is truly a single platform for the entire asset life cycle, assisting clients with creating a digital “Golden Thread”.
