Assessment Services

AAG’s team of assessment professionals possess over 75 years of collective assessment-related experience. Each of our assessors specializes in a particular assessment discipline allowing them to be extremely knowledgeable and proficient in their area of specialization. AAG is proud to be involved with the assessment community acting on various committees and attending a range of assessment related functions.

Whether it is Digital Video Data Collection, GPS/ GIS-assisted location mapping, or electronic market analysis tools, AAG employs the latest technologies to make the assessment process as efficient, effective, and accurate as possible.

AAG completes inspection and assessment valuations for all property types:

   
   
 
   

 

Residential

   
   

AAG has experience in all types of residential properties ranging from Economy to Luxury residences. We have created an automated process to mass produce MAF (market adjustment factors) to assist in calculating market values. AAG also utilizes MERLIN, a market valuation application created by Compass Municipal Services.

   
   
 
   

 

Non-Residential

   
   

Through market analysis, AAG has created a series of tables/ rates, used in the CAMAlot software application to produce values utilizing the income approach to value. This valuation method is compared to the Cost Approach to value to ensure accurate and equitable assessments are placed on each property.

AAG has developed a cost calculator program based on the Alberta Assessment Manual to ensure accurate and equitable building cost estimations.

   
   
 
   

 

Farmland

   
   

AAG staff are skilled at creating/ maintaining assessments using both the soil series and non-soil series regulated farmland valuation methods. Creating spatial farmland polygons using GIS has allowed AAG to efficiently perform precise area calculations for farmland assessments.

   
   
 
   

 

Industrial

   
   

AAG has an excellent understanding of the regulated Oil & Gas assessment approach. AAG utilizes many sources of information to assist in creating an accurate assessment. In particular, the development of our GIS has allowed our Industrial assessors to provide better assessments through digital well and pipeline data, GPS vehicle navigation, and spatial mapping products.
