Asset Valuation
By utilising the Capital Asset Valuation of Amenity Trees (CAVAT) method, PJC’s experienced arboricultural consultants can put a monetary value to the amenity benefits of a tree.
This tool is regarded as one of the principle and most effective method of tree valuation in the UK.
CAVAT provides a method for managing trees as public assets rather than liabilities. It is designed not only to be a strategic tool and aid to decision-making in relation to the tree stock as a whole, but also to be applicable to individual cases, where the value of a single tree needs to be expressed in monetary terms.
PJC work closely with local authorities, infrastructure managers and woodland owners on the management of their land, and understand the importance of seeing trees as an asset and not just a liability. Our arboricultural consultants can undertake detailed assessments using the CAVAT method, and help to assign a valuation to your trees. It is commonly utilised where trees have been illegally removed or damaged, and a claim for compensation is required. It is also becoming increasingly popular with Local Planning Authorities as a tool to ascertain tree mitigation as a result of planning and development. Most commonly it is used as a strategic tool to show the overall asset value of trees in the public realm.
