Due Diligence

Before investing in or developing a property, it is crucial to conduct comprehensive due diligence to assess feasibility, compliance, and risks. Arena Consultants provides expert due diligence services for laboratory and research facilities, ensuring that projects align with regulatory norms, environmental considerations, and structural integrity.

Our Due Diligence Services Include:

  • Site Feasibility Analysis: Assessing zoning laws, land use regulations, site constraints, and infrastructure availability to determine the viability of laboratory development. Reviewing site grading, access roads, drainage, and environmental impact considerations

  • Regulatory & Compliance Review: Ensuring adherence to local and national building codes such as NBC (National Building Code), IS Codes, FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulations, NABL accreditation norms, and Green Building Certifications for lab sustainability and compliance.

  • Structural & Safety Assessments: Evaluating load-bearing capacity, foundation integrity, seismic resilience, and material durability to determine structural stability. Ensuring compliance with fire safety standards (NFPA 45, IS 15105, IS 2878, IS 10204) and conducting risk assessments for potential hazards.

  • MEP System Evaluation: Assessing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, including HVAC efficiency, ventilation design (ASHRAE & ISHRAE compliance), electrical load distribution, gas handling, and liquid waste management.

  • Vibration & Noise Impact Analysis: Critical for research facilities requiring precision, assessing noise insulation and vibration control to maintain optimal lab conditions.

  • Energy Efficiency & Sustainability: Ensuring compliance with ECBC (Energy Conservation Building Code), evaluating renewable energy integration, insulation, and energy-efficient HVAC solutions.

  • Airflow & Contamination Control: Reviewing laboratory airflow, fume hood placements, HEPA filtration efficiency, and exhaust systems to meet ASHRAE, ISHRAE, and ISO/IEC 17025 air quality standards.

  • Laboratory-Specific Utility Checks: Analyzing specialized lab utilities such as deionized water supply, gas distribution networks, waste disposal mechanisms, and controlled environment setups for research applications.

We help clients make informed decisions by providing a clear, data-driven understanding of project feasibility and potential risks.
