Quantity Surveying Services for Perth and Regional WA
Reliable • ATO Compliant • AIQS Certified
ACP Quantity Surveyors provides independent quantity surveying services for property investors, accountants, strata companies and homeowners across Perth and Western Australia. Our team has been preparing accurate, ATO-compliant reports for more than 25 years, from family homes to commercial buildings.
Each report is prepared by an AIQS-certified quantity surveyor and set out so your accountant or insurer can use it straight away. Our Perth quantity surveyors prepare:
- Tax depreciation schedules
- Regional and mining town depreciation
- Insurance replacement valuations
- Bank reports for regional builds
Tax Depreciation Schedules for Perth Investors
A double-brick home in Morley and a new apartment in East Perth have little in common at tax time. Our ATO-ready depreciation schedules cover established homes, apartments and new builds in areas like Baldivis and Ellenbrook, with assumptions your accountant can follow.
If your home was built after September 1987, the original structure can still be claimed under capital works (Division 43), along with any kitchens, bathrooms or extensions added since. Homes built before then can still claim any renovations carried out after that date.
Regional and Mining Town Properties in WA
Many WA investors own property well outside Perth, including workforce housing in Karratha and Port Hedland and family homes in Kalgoorlie, Geraldton and Bunbury. Building costs are usually higher in remote areas, and that carries through to larger deductions.
These schedules are prepared from plans, records and the documents you supply, so distance does not hold up your report. An inspection is arranged only when the property needs one.
Insurance Replacement Valuations in Western Australia
Many Perth owners insure for roughly what they paid, which can leave a shortfall if the building has to be rebuilt. We work out the true rebuild cost in a professional replacement valuation based on current WA costs, including site clearing, consultant fees and cost escalation.
Strata companies, landlords and homeowners base their sum insured on this figure. In northern WA, the valuation also allows for cyclone-rated construction, which adds to the rebuild cost.
Bank Reports for Construction Loans
A lender funding a new build in regional WA will often want an independent check on costs before money changes hands. ACP prepares construction loan bank reports at two stages of the build.
Cost to Complete Report
Before the loan is approved, we compare the builder’s contract price with current WA rates. The lender then knows whether the budget will cover the whole project.
Progress Reports
Each progress report compares the work on site with the builder’s claim, so your lender pays only for completed work. Homes and commercial builds are both covered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a quantity surveyor in Perth to claim depreciation?
You need a quantity surveyor in Perth to claim depreciation whenever the original construction costs are not known, because the ATO recognises quantity surveyors as qualified to estimate them. Our schedules are prepared by AIQS-certified quantity surveyors with the fee confirmed up front.
Do you prepare depreciation schedules for regional WA?
We prepare depreciation schedules for properties across regional WA, including mining towns such as Kalgoorlie, Karratha and Port Hedland. The work is completed remotely from plans and records, with an inspection arranged when the property needs one.
Can I claim depreciation on an off-the-plan property in Perth?
An off-the-plan property in Perth can be depreciated from the day it is first available for rent, including its new plant and equipment. Because nothing has been claimed before, new apartments and townhouses usually carry the highest deductions.
Why does cyclone-rated construction raise an insurance valuation?
Cyclone-rated construction raises an insurance valuation because buildings in northern WA must be rebuilt to higher wind standards, with heavier framing, fixings and roofing. A replacement valuation for a Pilbara or Kimberley property includes those requirements in the rebuild cost.
