Services

Three ways we work with property holders.

Each engagement is delivered to RICS Red Book standards and supported by transparent assumptions, so brokers and insurers can rely on the figure.

Insurance Appraisal

Full Replacement Cost Valuation for a single building — measured on site and costed using current Canadian construction data.

Insurance-to-Value Review

Desk-based review of an existing insured value with adjustment recommendations and supporting rationale.

Portfolio Revaluation

Multi-asset programs for REITs, funds, trusts and property managers, sequenced quarterly or annually.

Why it matters

Co-insurance penalties are the silent risk on most policies.

Most Canadian commercial properties are insured below their true replacement cost. Where a co-insurance clause is triggered, a partial loss can be settled on a proportionate basis — leaving owners to fund the shortfall from their own balance sheet.

  • Independent figure brokers and insurers can rely on
  • Replacement cost on a like-kind-and-quality basis
  • Methodology aligned to RICS Red Book with Canadian cost data
  • Refreshed periodically to reflect construction market shifts
