Engineering Investigations

In performing due diligence investors and capital venture companies need to investigate both the financial aspects of a business and its engineering and scientific worth. In such cases there is usually no lack of expertise in assessing business plans and balance sheets. However, determining the engineering and scientific value of a business requires specialist skills which are not always at hand. We offer a service specifically for investment specialists and venture capital groups to evaluate the scientific and engineering feasibility and value of prospective companies and ideas.

Our key personnel include:
