How long does an equipment appraisal take?

Most equipment and machinery appraisals are completed within 7–10 business days after receiving the necessary documentation, photos, and asset details. This timeline works well for the majority of standard assignments, including insurance, estate, and internal planning purposes. Single-asset or low-complexity projects may be completed more quickly, while larger inventories, mixed equipment sets, or assignments with heightened compliance requirements can take longer depending on scope. 

Factors that affect timing include the number of assets, availability of serial numbers and specifications, asset condition, and whether market research requires deeper analysis. When deadlines are tight, expedited options are available, including rush turnarounds in as little as 24–72 hours, subject to availability and scope. Our team confirms timing upfront so expectations are clear before work begins, and we prioritize efficient turnaround without compromising USPAP compliance or report quality.
