Valuation & Technical due diligence

Valuation and Technical Due Diligence (TDD) are professional engineering services performed by a Chartered Engineer (CE) to determine the fair value, technical condition, operational capability, risks, and remaining useful life of machinery, equipment, industrial plants, or infrastructure assets. These assessments are widely used for financing, mergers and acquisitions, insurance, customs, legal matters, asset sales, and compliance with tender requirements.

What is Valuation?

Valuation is the process of determining the fair market value, replacement cost, depreciated value, or liquidation value of an asset using accepted engineering and valuation principles.

A Chartered Engineer evaluates the asset by considering:

Physical condition
Age
Technical specifications
Capacity
Remaining useful life
Current market conditions
Depreciation
Obsolescence
Maintenance history

The valuation is documented in a Chartered Engineer Valuation Certificate or Valuation Report.

Objectives of Valuation

The objectives include:

Determining the current market value of machinery or equipment.
Supporting bank loans and asset financing.
Providing insurance values.
Assisting customs authorities in assessing imported machinery.
Supporting accounting and financial reporting.
Determining sale or purchase price.
Supporting insolvency or liquidation proceedings.
Meeting tender and contractual requirements.

What is Technical Due Diligence (TDD)?

Technical Due Diligence is a systematic engineering assessment of an asset or project to evaluate its technical condition, operational performance, compliance, risks, and future maintenance requirements.

The objective is to identify technical issues that may affect safety, reliability, performance, cost, or investment decisions.
