Designated Investigation Agency | Historical Survey for Changing the Use of Factory Sites to Reduce Unexpected Costs

Avoid the occurrence of unexpected purification costs exceeding 40% of land prices and the cancellation of transactions! Fully budget the risks of converting factory sites to residential land by verifying the land history for change of use.

When changing the use of a former factory site to sell or redevelop it as residential land, the opaque costs associated with underground soil contamination measures become the biggest budget risk in the business plan. If a severe contamination is discovered after the land sale without prior historical land investigation, it may necessitate the most expensive soil replacement method, leading to remediation costs exceeding 40% of the land price, which can result in the project being abandoned or stalled. This catalog provides a detailed explanation of the know-how for "historical land use verification" to completely control such uncertain risks of land conversion and to visualize and budget the full extent of remediation costs in advance. It covers everything from scrutinizing public notification documents to preventive management techniques to prevent the spread of contamination during operations, as well as practical sampling surveys compliant with official methods to select optimal techniques such as inexpensive bio-injection to avoid costly replacement methods. This book can be widely utilized to fully manage budget risks within the legal framework of contracts, achieving dramatic cost reductions and protecting corporate value. PDF and 4 other documents.
