The MCG Maintenance Forecasting Tool provides indicative replacement cost forecasts for investment property assets based on inputs provided.
Replacement costs are based on MCG Quantity Surveyors industry build cost data in 2026 dollars. Effective lives align with the ATO Effective Life Tables and MCG industry standards. Actual replacement costs and timing will vary based on asset condition, market conditions and individual circumstances.
The tool is a planning aid only and does not replace a professional sinking fund forecast or capital works plan. For strata schemes and body corporates requiring state-compliant sinking fund reports, MCG Quantity Surveyors prepares Certified Quantity Surveyor reports tailored to the property and applicable regulatory regime.
The tool is not endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office.
Built on MCG Quantity Surveyors industry replacement cost data and ATO effective lives.
