Lender Technical Advisor (LTA) Services

Safeguarding Investments with Technical Oversight

At G.H.D, we act as an independent Lender Technical Advisor (LTA), representing the interests of banks, financial institutions, and private investors during project financing. Our role is to reduce technical risks and ensure project feasibility, performance, and compliance at every stage of development.

What is a Lender Technical Advisor?

A Lender Technical Advisor (LTA) is a third-party consultant appointed by the lender to perform technical due diligence and monitor project progress from a neutral standpoint. The LTA ensures that the project is being delivered as planned — on time, on budget, and in compliance with agreed standards.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Technical due diligence during financial close
  • Review of project design, planning, and permits
