Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between market value and replacement value for equipment?

Market value is what the equipment would sell for on the open market in its current condition. Replacement value is what it would cost to buy and install new equivalent equipment today, and it's mainly used for insurance. The right basis depends on why you need the valuation.

What can a plant and equipment valuation be used for?

Common uses include insurance, financial reporting, tax compliance, business sales and mergers, finance and sale-and-leaseback arrangements, liquidation, and family law settlements. Tell us the purpose when you request a quote, so the valuation is prepared on the right basis.

Can you value the property and the equipment together?

Yes. Because we value commercial, industrial, and rural property as well as plant and equipment, one team can value your whole site. You get consistent figures across the land, buildings, and equipment, all at the same valuation date.

Do you inspect the equipment physically?

Yes, in most cases. The equipment's condition, maintenance history, and operating status have a major effect on its value and remaining useful life, and an inspection is the most reliable way to assess them.

How do you value specialised or custom-built machinery?

We research markets in Australia and overseas and consult original equipment manufacturers. We then assess what it would cost to rebuild the asset, less allowances for age, wear, and technological obsolescence, meaning value lost because newer technology is available.

Can you value equipment across multiple sites?

Yes. We coordinate inspections and valuations across sites nationwide, from single facilities to fleets and production plants in several states. Every site is valued to one consistent standard.
