TEV report preparation checklist

Collect the right information, give every open item an owner and check that the report tells one consistent project story.

Use this list with your consultant and the intended lender’s terms of reference. Mark an item complete when its supporting evidence has been reviewed. For anything not applicable, record the reason. Completion of this list does not establish project viability or loan approval.

Industry-specific TEV and DPR input checklists

Start with the core list above, then collect the evidence that matters for your sector. These seven downloads are adapted preparation aids, not completed reports. Financial cut-off dates, authorities and approval requirements must match your appointment.

Solar power generation

Site, generation, grid connection and offtake evidence for a solar generation proposal.

Printing and packaging acquisition

Acquisition, existing asset condition, expansion machinery and working-capital inputs.

This checklist is for acquisition of an existing offset-printing/packaging business with proposed investment. Use the actual transaction values; no standard machinery or overdraft amount is implied.

  • Customer and supplier terms, stock levels, proposed operating cycle and working-capital need.
  • Acquisition/installation schedule, staff, utilities, approvals, incurred costs and proposed equity/borrowing sources.

Coordinate with: the promoter, finance team, technical team and relevant contractors. Record a named owner, evidence reference and status for each open item.

Residential apartment development

Land, approved areas, construction costs, sales and collection inputs for a housing project.

Inputs to collect
  • Promoter background, completed/ongoing developments, ownership and any joint-development agreement.
  • Land title or lease, encumbrance records, land-use position and local development constraints.
  • Master plan, approved building plans and a floor-wise unit/area schedule with clear area definitions.
  • Architect and contractor credentials, civil/MEP estimates, site development and supporting quotations.
  • Comparable nearby projects, selling-price evidence, proposed sales pace and marketing arrangements.
  • Buyer agreement and proposed collection milestones reconciled with construction progress.
  • Water, power, connected load, access and current approval status.
  • Monthly construction expenditure and funding, incurred costs, equity evidence and proposed loan terms.

Coordinate with: the promoter, finance team, technical team and relevant contractors. Record a named owner, evidence reference and status for each open item.

Cold storage and food cold-chain projects

Use these online prompts for refrigerated storage, pre-cooling and transport within the project’s scope. Where food processing is included, model processing yields, rejects and by-products separately from storage occupancy and handling volumes.

  • Demand and storage cycle: commodity mix, customer evidence, seasonality and expected storage periods for each product.
  • Capacity and movement: usable chamber capacity, layout, loading and unloading, handling rates and transport connections. Reconcile receipts and dispatches with the stock held.
  • Cooling basis: product entry and target temperatures, chamber conditions, pre-cooling or freezing needs, pull-down times and ambient design assumptions.
  • Refrigeration and utilities: specialist heat-load calculations, insulation specifications, refrigeration and electrical loads, power supply and backup arrangements. Collect dated supplier quotations with scope and exclusions.
  • Monthly income: occupied capacity and storage duration, tonnes handled, seasonal ramp-up, customer contracts, storage and handling rates, other service income and collection terms.
  • Operating costs and responsibilities: electricity use and tariffs, backup power costs, staffing and maintenance. State who bears quality or weight losses during storage and transit, and the insurance basis.
  • Delivery and funding: land, civil works, equipment and utility costs; procurement and commissioning milestones; applicable approvals and their status; equity, debt drawdowns and working-capital needs.

Keep the units distinct: tonne-month occupancy measures tonnes stored over time; tonnes handled measures material moved during a period. Reconcile both to storage periods and capacity, define how receipts and dispatches are counted, and apply each contract’s billing unit. Storage occupancy is not a processing yield or a handling volume.

Test lower occupancy, higher power costs and delayed collections, carrying the effects into cash flow, working capital and debt service. For each input or gap, record a dated evidence reference, named owner and status; mark estimates and unresolved questions explicitly. Confirm the intended lender’s scope and current project-specific approval requirements.

Keep originals and revisions in a dated evidence file. For the report structure, read the DPR preparation guide; for independent appraisal, confirm the TEV appointment scope.

Turn missing items into an action plan

Maintain a simple log with the missing input, named owner, due date, evidence reference and effect on the assessment. Resolve significant gaps before final issue, or state clearly how they limit the conclusion.

See examples of stronger and weaker TEV evidence when reviewing the assumptions behind each item.
