Is your commercial property being managed to its full potential?

$800,000 in damage. A $600,000 cheque. 😬

That gap isn't a policy limit — it's the co-insurance penalty, and it catches BC commercial owners who are quietly underinsured.
Here's the trap: your building should be insured at replacement cost — what it costs to rebuild today — not market value or what you paid. In Greater Vancouver, with construction costs up sharply, an insured value that hasn't been reassessed in a few years is very likely too low. When it is, the penalty cuts your payout proportionally — even on a partial loss.
Why owners end up short:

▸ Insured market value, not rebuild cost

▸ Construction costs jumped; the policy didn't

▸ Renovations were never added to the insured value
The fix: a replacement-cost appraisal every 3–5 years, indexed in between — and a property manager who tracks it instead of filing the policy and forgetting it.

Is your commercial lease quietly costing you money? 💸
On a recent Vancouver property with a national anchor tenant, a lease review uncovered three problems hiding in one lease:
▸ A cost cap calculated wrong — under-recovering for years

▸ Recovery deadlines that waive what you're owed

▸ Expense categories that need their own billing rules
We didn't fix the math — we recovered the money, then put controls in place so it stays recovered.
Owners often watch rent and vacancies, but lease administration can move property income just as much. With a national tenant, the lease usually holds the answers — the value is in administering it correctly.
