Asset Valuations
Determining the financial value of an asset with the impact of changes in value to the end user, client or community from a wholistic perspective.
The Capisce QS team is experienced with the process behind valuing assets for a range of business types within both public and private sectors including building, utilities and infrastructure. Valuations can then be utilised for insurance purposes, life cycle maintenance and establishing public cost structures rates.
For our team, asset valuation is equally about the non-cost decisions as it is about the cost decisions. For example, the outputs we produce not only inform clients about the financial worth of assets but helps them understand how asset values impact their stakeholders – from the general public using public transport or specific stakeholders such as medically critical patients using a hospital facility. This advice complements our other services such as cost management where we can use asset valuation information to control costs in a reliable manner.
Capisce QS offers the following asset valuation services:
- Estimate preparation for insurance purposes
- Site inspection and validation
- Evaluation of modern equivalency
- Asset identification and suitability review
- Condition Assessments
