Due Diligence Assessments

Thinking of buying or developing a site?
Before you commit time, money or contracts, you need to know exactly what you’re dealing with.

Forge’s Due Diligence Assessments in Perth uncover planning restrictions, legal issues, environmental risks and hidden constraints that could impact your development, before they become expensive problems.

Not sure if a site stacks up? Talk to our development experts before you commit.

A due diligence assessment is a detailed review of a property’s planning, legal, environmental and servicing constraints before purchase or development.

How is this different from a feasibility study?

A feasibility study focuses on what’s possible and profitable.
Due diligence focuses on what could go wrong, hidden risks, restrictions or costs that impact approvals or viability.

When should I engage Forge for due diligence?

Ideally before purchase or during contract negotiations. It can also be done early in the planning stage for land you already own.
