Who We Are

Big Firm Capability. Specialist Focus.

Main Valuation combines the technical rigour of a big-firm background with the attention to detail and personal service that only a specialist firm can provide.

Our director, Stuart Main, has worked across the full spectrum of the valuation industry — from large accounting and insurance firms through to complex, large-scale asset engagements. That experience informs everything we do. We know what auditors look for. We know what insurers require. And we know how to build a valuation that stands up to both.

We are a proud member of the Australian Property Institute (API) and operate in accordance with the International Valuation Standards (IVS). Stuart Main is a Certified Practising Valuer (Plant & Machinery).

What Sets Us Apart

Why Choose Main Valuation

Most valuation firms can produce a report. Few can manage the scale, complexity, and evidential requirements that today’s financial reporting and audit environment demands.

We manage the scale of a valuation

Large asset registers, multiple sites, complex structures — this is where most firms struggle and where we are purpose-built to deliver. Our valuation modelling capability means we can handle engagements of any scale without sacrificing rigour or professional discipline.

Evidence-based from the ground up

Our reports are structured with the evidence required to support our conclusions from the outset. Auditors, insurers, and legal teams can work with our reports confidently — because the positions we take are documented, transparent, and supported by evidence.

No surprises — before, during, or after

We discuss the valuation process and relevant considerations before engagement, communicate through draft reports, and ensure you understand our findings before anything is finalised. Our clients tell us this is one of the things they value most about working with us.

Big firm capability, personal service

We bring the modelling sophistication and methodology of the major firms, combined with the responsiveness and attention to detail that only comes from a focused specialist practice. You deal directly with a Certified Practising Valuer at all stages of the engagement — not a sales team.

Reports that third parties trust

Auditors and insurers find our reports easy to navigate, information-rich, and clearly structured. We write for the people who rely on our reports, not just the clients who commission them.

API member. IVS aligned. Designed for third-party reliance

Main Valuation is a member of the Australian Property Institute and conducts all engagements in accordance with the International Valuation Standards. Our reports are prepared to meet the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards and the Family Law Rules, where applicable.
