Key P&E Valuation Definitions.

Many terms are specific to the valuation of assets, which may be overwhelming to those that are not only new to plant & equipment valuations but to valuations in general. We believe good communication is key to great customer service. To ease communication, here are a few key terms that may be useful when reading about our services:

• Plant and Equipment: All tangible or fixed assets of an entity. These assets are expected to remain a part of the business's operations for many years as they are not consumed or sold.
• Plant & Machinery Valuer: A professional with the necessary training and qualifications to value an organisation's plant and machinery. Also known as a plant & equipment valuer.
• Valuation: The process of assessing and determining the value of an asset or assets based on objective evidence. This results in a formal report.
• Fair Market Value: The expected amount an asset may be purchased by a prudent buyer from a willing seller in an arm's length transaction.

Our P&E Valuation Methods.

There are many ways a valuer can approach an asset valuation. The best method is ascertained by the intended purpose of the report and the specific needs of the client. For a comprehensive valuation that is precise, a valuer may use a primary method of valuation and a secondary method. A few of the approaches that are a part of our valuation methodology are:

• Direct Comparative Sales: An approach to valuations involving the use of the local sales of items that are comparable to the valuing asset to determine its relative market value.
• Income Capitalisation: A method of valuation used for reports made for investors who wish to weigh potential investment opportunities. By using the capitalisation rate and net operating income, valuers would be able to calculate the estimated investment value of an asset.
• Cost Approach: A summation of all variables influencing the value of an asset. This includes such factors as, the age, condition, size, and use of an asset.
