By visualizing hidden defect risks underground without demolishing buildings, we facilitate smooth negotiations that prevent real estate transactions from stagnating and accelerate the overall process. We strongly support the preliminary estimation of future demolition and reconstruction costs and the conclusion of contractual provisions.

Soil contamination surveys in real estate transactions often become a bottleneck due to high analysis costs and long investigation periods, which can halt sales negotiations. This service is designed as a pre-sale self-investigation solution that prioritizes cost-effectiveness to dramatically alleviate such financial burdens and time losses. Utilizing advanced analytical capabilities as a designated investigation agency, we clearly assess the risk of the target site during the historical investigation phase. By accurately planning and executing soil contamination sampling in areas with a high potential for contamination, we optimize the number of samples collected to the necessary minimum, significantly reducing analysis costs. This allows for rapid early determination of underground environmental risks, enabling swift decision-making that prevents delays in real estate transactions and strongly promotes overall speed. Even if contamination is discovered, we can select pinpoint optimal methods based on detailed distribution data, thereby minimizing future remediation costs.

In real estate transactions, investigations conducted at the stage when statutory obligations arise under the Soil Contamination Countermeasures Act can cause the progress of the sale to be halted for an extended period due to reporting to authorities and the designation procedures for areas requiring measures. This service is a voluntary pre-sale investigation solution implemented at any stage before statutory obligations arise, aimed at completely avoiding such procedural delays. While applying the neutral and strict standards of designated investigation agencies, we conduct flexible investigation designs that match the speed of private transactions, enabling early determination of contamination through accurate soil contamination sampling. Since we can quantify the risks of the underground environment at a stage where there is no immediate reporting obligation to authorities, it allows companies to fully grasp the cost of countermeasures and negotiation strategies internally. This helps prevent unnecessary reputational damage and transaction cancellations, supporting the formation of rational and smooth agreements that both sellers and buyers can agree upon based on objective environmental evidence, thereby leading to faster transaction speeds.

In real estate transactions, any ambiguity or lack of reliability in the results of soil contamination surveys can lead to re-investigations or breakdowns in negotiations, causing business to come to a complete standstill. This service is a pre-contract voluntary investigation solution conducted with the highest level of technical expertise to thoroughly eliminate risks arising from such data deficiencies. Under a strict management system as a designated investigation agency, we meticulously analyze the historical industry characteristics and history of hazardous substance usage of the target site, and carry out advanced soil contamination sampling on-site. By combining precise sample collection that eliminates contamination to the utmost extent with rigorous official analysis based on measurement laws, we can quickly determine the presence, concentration, and extent of contamination. This accurate evidence, rich in scientific basis, provides absolute peace of mind to buyers and financial institutions, preventing prolonged price negotiations and accelerating transaction speed. We strongly support safe and transparent real estate transactions from a technical perspective while ensuring corporate compliance.

In projects involving the reconstruction of factories, redevelopment of operational sites, or acquisition of new development land, the discovery of soil contamination after construction begins poses the greatest management risk, leading to work stoppages, enormous additional costs, and significant delays in business plans. This service is a self-investigation solution strategically implemented at the planning stage or before the sales contract to completely prevent stagnation at such development sites. Based on advanced know-how as a designated investigation agency, we conduct reliable soil contamination sampling with a flexible schedule that does not interfere with the layout of existing buildings or operational processes. By early determining the presence of specific hazardous substances such as heavy metals and organic solvents, it becomes possible to advance changes in foundation design, select countermeasure methods, and secure appropriate treatment routes for construction-generated soil in advance. We establish a smooth construction process without setbacks, strongly supporting the overall acceleration of transactions and the reliable execution of corporate investment recovery plans.

In the sale of corporate assets and factory sites, the risk of underground soil contamination becomes the biggest barrier that can lead to the breakdown of negotiations or unjustified price reductions. This service is a proactive self-investigation solution conducted by the seller before the sales contract, allowing them to take the initiative. It involves a rigorous historical investigation and soil contamination sampling by a designated investigation agency, serving as a health check for the land, to determine the presence of contamination at an early stage. This enables reliable information disclosure to the buyer, alleviating concerns about environmental risks and dramatically accelerating the transaction speed. By preparing clear evidence in advance, the asset value of the land can be justifiably demonstrated, deterring excessive depreciation demands from potential buyers and facilitating agreement under favorable conditions. Even if contamination is confirmed, the company can calculate optimal countermeasures and costs under its own leadership before public disclosure, allowing for budget planning in line with management strategies and control over handover conditions, thus supporting strategic asset liquidity without stagnating real estate transactions.

In the practice of land acquisition by real estate developers and institutional investors, early identification of soil contamination risks is a decisive factor that can determine the success or failure of investment decisions. This service is an ideal self-investigation solution prior to the sales contract, tailored for buyer-led due diligence (DD). Leveraging our expertise as a designated investigation agency, we meticulously analyze the historical operational records of the target site within a limited negotiation period. We swiftly conduct optimal soil contamination sampling based on the degree of risk, tailored to the local conditions, and make early determinations regarding the presence and extent of contamination. This completely prevents prolonged negotiations and transaction stagnation caused by uncertainties in the underground environment, enabling an overall acceleration of the process. Based on objective evidence, we can pre-calculate remediation costs and accurately reflect them in purchase price negotiations and warranty clauses in contracts, thereby avoiding legal disputes after handover and robustly supporting safe and profitable real estate investment and development businesses.

If soil contamination is discovered after the real estate sales contract, it can lead to long-term legal disputes such as damage claims or contract cancellations, resulting in significant losses for the company. This service is a self-investigation solution for soil conducted by the buyer or seller at the optimal timing before the contract, aimed at preventing troubles caused by such hidden defects. By evaluating the historical and geological risks of the target site and conducting precise soil contamination sampling before any legal obligations arise, we can quickly determine the presence of contamination. This allows for the advancement of safe real estate sales agreements while maintaining transaction speed. Based on the investigation results, it is possible to clearly specify the responsibilities for countermeasures and cost burdens in the contract, thereby completely eliminating future legal risks. As a neutral and rigorous designated investigation agency, we provide reliable environmental evidence and strongly support smooth land transactions without stagnation, as well as sound asset liquidity management for companies.
