Real estate developers face complex financial, tax, and regulatory requirements at every stage of a construction project.
A professional real estate appraisal prepared by a chartered appraiser is an essential tool for sound investment decisions, tax compliance, and maximizing project profitability.
Our reports are built on a comprehensive market analysis, detailed construction cost review, and income potential evaluation. Each appraisal is completed according to the standards of the Ordre des évaluateurs agréés du Québec (OEAQ) and is recognized by financial institutions, private lenders, tax professionals, notaries, and government authorities.
🏗️ Appraisal for Real Estate Development Projects
Before, during, or after construction, we assist developers and investors with:
Land valuation and development potential analysis
Projected market value (after-construction value)
Fair market value determination for sale, financing, or refinancing
Investment performance and ROI validation
Our reports provide a clear, defensible market value to support financial planning, lender negotiations, and strategic decision-making.
🧾 Appraisal for GST/QST Self-Assessment on New Rental Buildings
When you build a new residential rental property (duplex, triplex, or six units and more), you are required to self-assess GST and QST based on the fair market value (FMV) of the building on the self-assessment date.
This fiscal obligation applies even if the property is not sold once completed.
An independent appraisal report by a chartered appraiser is required to:
Determine the fair market value at the time of self-assessment
Document this value for your tax filings
Reduce the risk of penalties or audits by Revenu Québec or the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)
🟢 We help you meet your tax obligations while protecting your compliance position with the authorities.
💰 Appraisal for Project Financing or Refinancing
Our appraisal reports are accepted by major banks, credit unions, investors, and private lenders, helping you:
Establish a credible and independent lending value
Support construction or mixed-use financing applications
Strengthen negotiations with lenders and partners
📊 Feasibility and Profitability Studies
A real estate feasibility study helps evaluate a project’s financial viability and market potential before breaking ground.
We provide analyses that:
Estimate projected costs, revenues, and profit margins
Assess market demand and risk factors
Support business plans and financial models
Guide investors and developers toward data-driven decisions
