Our experience in Balkan region gives us both broad perspective and deep expertise on the many factors that influence real estate investment, development and management.
Due to the complex interdependencies in today’s real estate market, it is virtually impossible to separate organizational and engineering aspects of economic and strategic issues. Smart UP meets this requirement with a targeted combination of management and engineering skills on the one hand, and commercial and business expertise on the other. Transparency and in-depth knowledge about the properties in question form the basis for a successful transaction – irrespective of whether you are buying or selling land or property. With the help of tried and tested methods, and the use of reliable statistics, our Technical and Commercial Due Diligence service allow you to carry out a concrete assessment of the qualities, illustrate the risks and deal breakers and potential ways of increasing value, while in the process securing the return from your investment.
Following the signing of the contract, we secure the purchase of project developments for you with Technical Project Controlling over the course of the project. The focus here is on the contractually agreed quality (building work performance specifications), as well as on transparency in terms of the deadlines to be met, and achieving clarity over cost-related project events. Financial controls over the course of the project, in combination with an upstream project analysis, allows us to create security and transparency before the signing of the credit agreement, while also protecting the ongoing financing for the investor concerned. In addition, as part of our Transaction Management service, we support vendors by initiating and holding a structured sales process.
Purpose dictates the form of the object, the object obeys the integral space, and the space serves the person’s needs and aspirations.
The beauty of the space is in awareness. We seek functional perfection in every new project. We search for solutions that lie outside the usual experience. We create an aesthetic environment, subordinated to human interests, and fill each square centimeter with the meaning.
Real estate development is a dynamic process that requires different sets of expertise and disciplines at every level. Here at Smart UP, we understand the complexity of the industry and consistently strive to stay ahead of the competition.
