Scaling a commercial property firm from 60 to 220 appraisals per month
Client: Commercial property appraisal firm (anonymized)
The firm hit a ceiling at 60 appraisals per month — each report took a senior appraiser 3–4 days of formatting, comparable-sales research, and RICS/IVS disclosure work. Junior staff could not be trusted with format-critical output. Growth required either 2x headcount or a productivity leap.
Rolled out GARAASSETS's Property module with the comparable-sales database, RICS Red Book + IVS 2025 template selector, and automated depreciation calculators. Juniors now produce structured drafts; seniors review methodology and sign — no more re-formatting.
- Throughput: 60 → 220 appraisals/month over 9 months
- Senior time per report: 3.5 days → 0.8 days (77% reduction)
- RICS/based on IVS methodology findings on external audit: 3 → 0
- New junior time-to-productive: 6 months → 8 weeks
“The template selector is the thing. Pick RICS or IVS once, and the entire report — disclosures, adjustments, depreciation — is compliant by default.”
