Machinery and equipment resist valuation by depreciation schedule: two machines of identical age can differ sharply in value depending on operating hours, maintenance history, spare-part availability and the state of the secondary market.
We cover industrial production lines, heavy and construction equipment, vehicle fleets, hospital and laboratory equipment, generators and cooling systems, restaurant and hotel fit-outs, and printing and packaging machinery.
We apply depreciated replacement cost where no active secondary market exists, and the market approach where comparable transactions are available, based on a field inspection that records serial number, operating hours and technical condition for each asset — which makes the report directly reconcilable with the fixed asset register.

Frequently asked questions
Can equipment be valued without halting production?
Yes. We schedule inspections around planned downtime or specific shifts and rely on operating data and maintenance logs to minimise any stoppage.
Is the report suitable for insurance purposes?
Yes, provided the basis of value is set as reinstatement value; on request we issue a report presenting market value and reinstatement value side by side.
Do you link the valuation to asset inventory?
Yes, and this is a core advantage: inventory, barcode tagging and valuation can run as one project, so the fixed asset register matches the report without later reconciliation.
