FTTH Technical Due Diligence

End-to-end review of passive plant, active estate, and operational records. RAG-rated findings with capex / opex remediation appetite. Typically a ~100-page deliverable.

Use it when

You're acquiring a UK altnet and need full network depth defensible to IC, lenders, or partner committee.

Deliverables

• Passive-plant review (fibre routes, splice records, civils, site survey sample)
• Active-estate review (transmission, OLT/ONT estate, exchange/FEX/FAC inventory, performance baseline)
• Operational records audit (build records, asset register, BSS/OSS data quality)
• RAG-rated findings register
• Capex / opex remediation appetite with sized line items

Buyer

Pre-investment deal team. Time-boxed to deal exclusivity.

Lighter, validation-focused review. Sector-specialist independent check on top of an in-house engineering team or generalist DD provider.

Use it when

Your in-house engineering team has flagged specific concerns and you want a sector-specialist independent check - without commissioning a full TDD.

Deliverables

• Targeted scope agreed up front (3-6 named workstreams)
• Sample-based validation across passive and active
• Independent assessment of in-house team's findings
• Short-form deliverable (typically 20-40 pages, decision-focused)

Buyer

Head of Infrastructure, Group CTO, or Investment Director where in-house engineering is already running point.

Visual topology view, PIA data overlay, on-the-ground survey, and a go / no-go report on expansion areas. Days, not months.

Use it when

You're a portfolio team or operator deciding where to expand next - and need ground truth on candidate areas before committing capex.

Deliverables

• Topology / footprint visualisation per candidate area
• PIA data overlay (M1 lens) - duct/pole capacity, accessibility, build-vs-overlay economics
• Sample on-the-ground survey
• Go / no-go scoring with capex ranges
