Commercial, Agricultural, Residential and Equipment — BC, Alberta, Yukon & Ontario

An appraisal should be a tool for decision-making — not just a document for a file.

Quality Appraisals Inc. provides independent, AACI-certified appraisal and valuation services across BC, Alberta, Yukon, and Ontario. We cover all major property and asset types under one roof — so you deal with one firm, one standard, and one point of contact, regardless of what you are appraising or why.

Heavy Equipment, Farm Machinery & Commercial Assets

Machinery & Equipment Appraisals

Our CPPAG-designated equipment appraisers value heavy equipment, agricultural machinery, food processing equipment, restaurant and commercial kitchen equipment, manufacturing machinery, and industrial assets. One of the very few firms offering both property and equipment appraisals under one roof — across BC and Alberta.

Tenant Improvements & Commercial Fit-Outs

Leasehold Improvement Appraisals

When financing, insurance, estate, or a disposition requires a certified valuation of your tenant improvements or commercial fit-out, we provide accurate, professionally documented reports across BC and Alberta.

Specialized Appraisals & Advisory Services

We regularly work with lawyers, accountants, lenders, and government agencies on complex appraisal assignments that go beyond standard financing reports. Each service below has its own dedicated page with full details.

CRA Compliance
& Tax Reporting

Capital Gains Appraisals

When the CRA requires a certified property valuation for capital gains reporting, we prepare retrospective appraisals valued at any past date — including Valuation Day (December 31, 1971) — for commercial, agricultural, and residential properties.

Probate, Executors
& Trustees

Estate Settlement Appraisals

We support families, executors, and trustees with current market value and retrospective date-of-death appraisals for probate, CRA clearance certificates, and estate tax compliance — accepted by the CRA and courts in BC, Alberta, and Ontario.

Separation Agreements
& Family Court

Divorce & Family Law Appraisals

As an independent third party, we provide objective market value opinions for matrimonial settlements and family court proceedings — delivering a defensible number that helps all parties move forward in BC, Alberta, and Ontario.

Property Assessment
Appeal Board

Assessment Appeals

If your property assessment is higher than market value, a certified appraisal is the most effective evidence for a PAAB appeal. We assist commercial, industrial, agricultural, and residential property owners with BC Assessment appeals across the Interior, Okanagan, and Alberta.

Rebuilding Cost at Today’s
Construction Costs

Insurance Replacement Cost Reports

Buildings are frequently underinsured after years of sharp construction cost increases. Our insurance replacement cost appraisals establish what it would actually cost to rebuild your property today — for commercial buildings, farm structures, strata properties, and industrial facilities.

Government Acquisition
& Utility Infrastructure

Expropriation & Right-of-Way Appraisals

When a government authority or utility acquires or crosses your property, you are entitled to fair compensation. We prepare AACI-certified expropriation appraisals and right-of-way valuations for landowners in BC, Alberta, and the Yukon.

BC Strata Property
Act Compliance

Strata Depreciation Reports

BC strata corporations are required to obtain depreciation reports under the Strata Property Act. We prepare CUSPAP-compliant depreciation reports that assess common property condition and project future repair and replacement costs.

Complex Assignments
Requiring Full Written Reports

Narrative Appraisal Reports

A narrative appraisal report is a comprehensive, full-length written valuation prepared from the ground up for each assignment — no templates. Required for complex commercial, agricultural, and legal matters. Clearly written, well-reasoned, and built to withstand scrutiny.

Construction Lending
& Development Financing

Progress Inspection Reports

When your lender requires independent verification of construction progress, we provide professional site inspections and progress reports for development financing — ensuring draw advances are supported by accurate, on-the-ground assessments.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the complexity. Most residential appraisals are completed in 3 to 5 business days. Commercial and agricultural appraisals typically take 5 to 7 business days. Contact us and we will give you a specific timeline for your assignment.

Because every property is unique — from a single-family home to a large agricultural operation — we provide custom fee estimates. Call us or submit our online quote form and we will respond the same day with a fee estimate and timeline.

Yes. All our appraisals comply with CUSPAP and are completed by or under the direct supervision of AACI-designated appraisers. Our reports are accepted by all major Canadian banks, credit unions, Farm Credit Canada, and the Canada Revenue Agency.

Yes — this is one of our key advantages. We have AACI-designated real estate appraisers and CPPAG-designated equipment appraisers on our team. For farms, restaurants, and commercial operations that require both real property and equipment valuations, we handle both assignments.

An appraisal is a formal, certified opinion of market value prepared under CUSPAP and signed by a designated professional. A consulting report is an advisory document that may address a broader range of real estate questions — feasibility, market analysis, highest and best use — without necessarily providing a certified value conclusion. We provide both.
