Services
Tax Depreciation Schedules
Tax depreciation schedules help property investors claim deductions for depreciation against rental portfolios. Our reports comply with Australian Taxation Office guidelines, covering plant and equipment, capital works, and structural improvements. By inspecting properties to assess asset age and condition, we maximise legitimate tax benefits while staying updated with legislative changes.
Insurance Replacement Cost Estimates
Insurance replacement cost estimates ensure property owners maintain adequate coverage. Our reports forecast reconstruction values, including demolition, redesign, tendering costs, and escalation to project completion. This service addresses rising construction costs and helps body corporates and property owners avoid underinsurance through accurate re-valuations.
Trade Package Measurement
Trade package measurement supports builders and tradies with accurate tender formulations. We tailor measurement methods to client pricing strategies, balancing practicality with modern construction techniques. Reports can also align with Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors' Standard Method of Measurement for consistency.
Estimating and Cost Planning
Estimating and cost planning services provide accurate construction cost forecasts for new developments. From speculative orders of cost to detailed trade-based estimates, we assist with tender negotiations and value management. Our experience spans small to large projects, ensuring practical solutions for speculative analysis or design development stages.
Expert Witness Reports
Expert witness reports offer impartial advice on construction costs, variations, and defect rectification during disputes. We provide independent evidence for mediations, tribunals, or court proceedings, combining negotiation skills with technical expertise to resolve conflicts and minimise project risks.
