An end-to-end validation of the project business case

We perform basic tests about the feasibility of the project business case with our rear view of the local market profile by asking and eliciting responses to some fundamental questions including the project concept or model. How is the project intended to be organized from inception to completion and how is it intended to make money? What would be the logic behind the concept? Would it be doable? Further, we will peruse the expenditure portions of the project: capex and opex forecast for validity, accuracy and completeness, and evaluate the income forecasts as well. We conclude on the value creation ability of the project under varying conditions.

An assessment and optimization of project concept, definition and design to improve value/ROI

We draw on our knowledge and understanding of the local market, to assess the project concept, definition and design as modeled and further assess technical or market options for optimization. Optimization would mean an improvement in the project concept, definition and design, which would be value additive in terms of metrics such as increased return on investment. Optimization would also mean improving the risk profile of the project to reduce risks to income over the period and help realize returns with minimum unfavorable deviation from the expectation.

Investment and end-to-end planning (land, regulatory and zoning permitting, development and management)

We transition from project modeling to planning the implementation of the project. The first planning issue is land and verifying that the sponsors have secured their ownership interest in the land, and as necessary, investor(s) or financier(s) can perfect their security interest in the land. Further, that the site and topography are suitable for the project and depending on the project, that the soil is geo-technically

suitable to hold the intended building(s) to be constructed under varying conditions. We would also address the issues of site planning and land use management for efficiency and fitness with the project concept.

We would also address the projects compliance with local zoning laws, permitting of the project, district levies, community input as necessary, and the legal and regulatory real estate environment in general to assure of the avoidance of legal barriers to project implementation.

Key project services including architecture and structural design, quantity surveying, and mechanical and electrical design

We systemically perform engineering design and costing of the project [pre-contract up to implementation] in our engineering services offer.

The foundation of our Engineering Service is the careful design of the Architectural models and Structural details, from which we draw the Electrical and Mechanical requirements. All these technical details would be fashioned around the project concept in compliance with building codes. When Client preferences permit and is feasible, green technology would be introduced into the design.

Separately, we also perform technical audits on buildings to be refurbished, remodeled or upgraded to assure of product safety and re-design objectives.

Engineering Costing and Cost Management

We offer expert services on cost, contract and procurement management. We routinely update our Engineering costing databases for costing engineering designs and we prepare defendable Bill of Quantities and related data for the project. We provide the value added service of cost management to help rein in the controllable cost variations that may occur over the contract.

A key variable in our cost management approach is the nature of the underlying construction contract and which party bears development risks.

The key objective of our approach is assisting our clients derive maximum value from their projects and thus, we take a holistic view of projects and cost structures, and their dynamics over the short and long-terms paying particular attention to the following:

• A thorough debriefing of our Client’s brief to understand their objectives and resource constraints.

• Identify key sources of risk to the costing of the project and manage these risks effectively
• Develop a preliminary cost estimate on the preliminary sketch designs
• Develop flexible cost estimates that are amendable to change as alternative designs are developed
• Advise on optimal approaches to procurement for the project
• Allocations and when possible transfers of risks over the term of the contract

• Valuation

  We offer expert services in Valuation using various techniques and methods of estimation in determining the fair price or value of buildings and landed assets.

Advisory, planning and delivery of property management services (including rentals, maintenance, upgrades, security and a range of other services)

Twinbrook Property Management Services are modeled on the careful delivery of Due Diligence, Property Management, Property Maintenance, and Rental Service.

Our approach to Property Management is to leverage our technical expertise in construction, project management and project execution, to proactively manage risks and sustain the realization of value from property to clients. The range of Property Management Services we provide will include:

• Performing Physical Due Diligence involving a comprehensive analysis of all facets of the building structure. The analysis would identify the risk areas in the building structure and quantify their cost.
• Perform Building Services Due Diligence as part of our mechanical engineering function to uncover all “hidden costs.”

• Coordinate all appropriate repairs and maintenance flowing from due diligence findings
• Perform regular property inspection

Twinbrook Property Brokerage Services specializes in selling and renting of properties.

We have a team of highly competent property sales representatives and other associate estate agents who continually feed us with verifiable data (land, residential and commercial properties) imputed in our database. In this regard, whether you are searching for residential, commercial or land, our Property Brokerage will help you find one. If you are a property owner in search of buyer or renter of your residential, commercial or land, our Property Brokerage will help you find one.
