Consultancy and preliminary analysis
Understand before you design
Every reliable project starts with verification: of the current state, of the rules that apply and of what the property can realistically offer.
The service
Feasibility before the first line
Before we draw, we assess whether a project is achievable in technical, economic and regulatory terms. The feasibility study lines up the condition of the building or site, the municipality’s planning and building rules, any landscape restrictions — widespread around Lake Garda — and the client’s objectives, returning concrete scenarios with orders of magnitude for time and cost.
It is the best way to avoid projects that stall in front of an overlooked restriction or an unsustainable budget: the important decisions are taken at the start, when changing course still costs little.
- Technical, economic and regulatory feasibility studies
- Architectural surveys of existing buildings, including with advanced instruments
- Topographic surveys, land measurement and mapping
- Analysis of municipal planning rules and restrictions
- Preliminary check of building and cadastral documentation
Due diligence, valuations and purchase assistance
Anyone buying a property in Sirmione, Desenzano del Garda, Peschiera or the municipalities of southern Lake Garda needs to know what they are really buying. Property due diligence is a 360-degree investigation that checks planning and building compliance, cadastral consistency, title history and the state of the premises before the deed of sale, while any issues can still be negotiated or resolved.
We also accompany clients on visits to properties they are considering, casting a technical eye over structure, systems, potential for transformation and foreseeable costs, and we prepare appraisals and valuations of the most probable market value of buildings, land and works still to be completed.
- Technical, planning and cadastral due diligence before purchase
- Access to municipal building records (accesso agli atti) and reconstruction of past permits
- Appraisals and valuations of buildings and land
- Site visits and technical advice during purchase viewings
- Confidential reports in support of the negotiation
Talking costs nothing.
A phone call or an email is enough to work out, together, the most useful first step for your property.

Frequently asked questions
Before you start.
How long does property due diligence take?
It depends on the completeness of the municipal archives and on the history of the property. It normally takes a few weeks, largely tied to the time needed to obtain the municipal records; where a deed of sale has already been scheduled, it pays to start as early as possible.
Does a feasibility study commit me to going ahead with the project?
No. It is a self-contained service that ends with a clear picture of possibilities, constraints and costs. The client then decides freely whether and how to proceed, with us or with other professionals.
Do you also survey complex or historic buildings?
Yes. We survey existing buildings of every period, including in historic settings such as the centres of Sirmione and Desenzano, at the level of detail the project requires, delivered as 2D drawings or a 3D model.
Can you tell me whether a property I want to buy has unauthorised works?
That is precisely the purpose of the compliance check: we compare the actual state with the building titles filed with the municipality and with the cadastral floor plans, flagging discrepancies, tolerances and possible routes to regularisation.
