Building Valuation System 3.53

Building Valuation System (BVS) by Marshall & Swift / Boeckh

BVS is a cost-based valuation application designed to help insurers, appraisers, and assessing offices estimate the replacement cost and depreciated value of buildings. It uses Marshall & Swift’s researched construction cost data and localized cost modifiers to produce consistent, defensible estimates for residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

Key capabilities:

• Models key attributes such as occupancy/use, construction type, quality/class, size, age/condition, and special features.
• Calculates replacement cost new and depreciated values, with options to apply physical, functional, and external depreciation.
• Reflects current material, labor, and equipment costs through regular data updates, including regional and local multipliers.
• Generates clear valuation summaries and detailed component reports to support underwriting, insurance-to-value analysis, tax assessment, and appeals.
• Offers import/export and integration options to connect with CAMA and policy administration systems, with audit-friendly documentation.

By standardizing inputs and leveraging curated cost data, BVS helps organizations improve accuracy, transparency, and efficiency in cost approach valuations.
