Industrial Site Due Diligence: What an Expansion Team Should Verify
A practical diligence framework for industrial land and facilities covering title, utilities, access, environmental, permitting and delivery constraints.
Verify control and permitted use
Confirm ownership/control, zoning or land-use compatibility, restrictions, easements, access rights and the pathway for the intended industrial activity.
Treat utilities as projects, not checkboxes
Power, water, wastewater, gas, telecom and other infrastructure require capacity, quality, point-of-connection, cost and delivery-date verification.
Map logistics at operating conditions
Evaluate truck routes, rail, port/airport access, border or customs dependencies, employee access and constraints for oversized or hazardous movements where relevant.
Understand environmental and geotechnical constraints
Site history, contamination, flood/seismic risk, soil conditions, protected areas and other environmental or engineering issues can materially affect cost and schedule.
Build a closing-and-development conditions register
Turn unresolved diligence into explicit conditions, owners, deadlines and commercial protections before acquisition, lease or construction commitment.
Turn the framework into an investment mandate.
FDI Desk can structure the market, site, data, partner and establishment workstreams around the actual investment requirement.
