Replacement Cost Estimates for Appraisers:
Documentation for a Fair and Balanced Settlement

As an appraiser, your work is important. You are trusted with determining the fair market value of a property owner’s parcel of land and/or structures in cases of eminent domain, financing, insurance, or purchase and sale. As you know, a crucial part of that process is determining equitable replacement costs.

Martyn can help you figure that out. He understands the complex laws and regulations and is experienced in developing detailed and accurate cost estimates for replacing property owners’ existing structures.

He will complete a site investigation to determine the size, quantity, and quality of the necessary improvements. He uses the information to prepare an estimated cost of construction, using today’s costs for materials, practices, and methods of construction.

When the structure has already been removed or a site investigation is not possible for another reason, Martyn uses other tools and resources to understand the building in its original form, such as historical photos, blueprints, and permit drawings.

Martyn’s replacement cost estimates have proven valuable when up against any other methods of determining values for improvements, particularly when others use estimating manuals and tables.
