Our integrated advice ensures that assets and investments deliver required returns.
In today’s economic conditions, infrastructure and property dealmakers are increasingly seeking to understand market drivers, operational issues and how to drive improved performance to optimise the use of assets.
Arup’s transaction teams go the extra mile by translating these technical and commercial issues into financial analysis, allowing our clients to fully evaluate deal opportunities, creating a competitive edge for investors.
Our financial advisers, management consultants and engineers combine three streams of expertise to help clients manage risk and maximise return on investment. We have a particularly strong track record spanning the energy and utilities, social infrastructure, transport and property sectors worldwide. Download our brochure (PDF, 3.2MB).
Strategies for success
We help clients take the right direction in strategy and business planning. We assess the viability of new markets, projects, products or services and develop business and economic cases as well as funding and delivery mechanisms.
Confident investment
Our deal advisory teams are behind many thriving ventures – including significant property and infrastructure projects worldwide – having built winning bid strategies to secure investment.
We help the public sector procure and deliver major investments using innovative funding models – as for San Francisco’s Doyle Drive Replacement Project.
For private sector clients, we conduct bid strategy, options appraisals and financial modelling as well as providing technical appraisal and support. We assist throughout the project procurement process.
Arup is authorised by the UK’s Financial Services Authority to provide corporate finance advice and is registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board as a Municipal Advisor.
Added value due diligence
We are global leaders in technical due diligence across all infrastructure asset classes. Arup topped the Infrastructure Journal 2010 league table of global technical advisors, regarded as definitive in infrastructure investment, and in 2011 we advised on $20bn of transactions. Our Transaction Advice 2011 year in Review (PDF, 4.8MB) provides details of the transactions we advised on in 2011.
Our due diligence offers far more than a technical health-check. We help buyers to make better informed investments, and investors to transform the performance of existing assets.
We guide our clients in negotiating favourable deal terms through our commercial, technical or environmental due diligence, vendor due diligence or lenders’ technical advice.
Assets that perform
To help clients optimise their asset performance, we call on the knowledge gained through our global transactions to benchmark asset management and operational performance to determine appropriate improvement strategies. We drive improved performance through Arup’s diverse capability, including operations consulting, building performance and major project delivery.
