Replacement Cost Estimates for Attorneys:
Documentation to Help Your Client Get Just Compensation

Your clients have placed their trust in you to defend their rights and secure fair and just compensation in their recovery of claims for losses. As you know, a crucial part of that process is determining fair replacement costs. The replacement cost estimate is a key tool for getting your clients what they are entitled to in condemnation.

Martyn can help you figure that out, so you can focus your time and energy on guiding your client successfully through the eminent domain process. Martyn 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.

Contact Martyn or call him at 425.398.5708 for a free, no-obligation consultation on your client’s needs. He’ll provide the support you need to make the best case and get optimal compensation for your client.
