“An independent, documented opinion at the moments that decide the outcome.”
An investment decision is only as good as the technical assumptions beneath it. Is the budget credible? Can the schedule be held? Will the asset perform as promised? RLB|SQA gives investors, lenders and owners an independent, documented answer — before the deal, during construction, and into operation.
WHY IT MATTERS
The cost of a bad technical assumption is not paid at signing. It is paid later — in a capex overrun, a performance shortfall, or a defect found in operation that costs ten to a hundred times more to fix than it would have before handover.
Technical due diligence is where those costs are found while they can still be avoided — and where an owner or a lender gains the confidence to commit.
WHAT WE DO
HOW WE WORK
We test assumptions against evidence and international benchmarks, and we write our findings to be understood by engineers and investors alike. Our role is not to slow the deal but to de-risk it — to say clearly what is credible, what is not, and what it will take to make it so.
And we do not stop at signing. Through project monitoring and commissioning, we secure the performance and risk assumptions identified at the investment decision over time — verifying that what was theoretical in design becomes real, measurable performance in operation.
WHAT YOU GAIN
FROM DILIGENCE TO COMMISSIONING
Technical due diligence does not end at the investment decision. The later a defect is found, the more it costs — often ten to a hundred times more in operation than before handover. Through commissioning, we verify that every system performs as designed before the asset goes live, protecting its value well beyond the day it is delivered.
