About Normac

    Our Story

    When Cameron Carter founded Normac in 1998, his goal was to provide the highest quality insurance appraisals in the business.

Our clients trust us to provide exceptional customer service and the most reliable insurance appraisals in the industry. Our established history is based on the experience of accredited professionals, responsiveness to client needs, and ongoing education and growth.

    Why Choose Normac

    Normac specializes in insurance appraisals. In fact, it is the only type of appraisal we do. Most appraisers in Canada specialize in market value appraisals. All too often, this can lead to properties being under or over valued. Our team of experts have the knowledge, experience, and in-house costing database to produce reliable replacement cost reports. 

    Knowledge

    Our team is trained in actual construction costing, current
    building codes and municipal bylaws, demolition and removal costs, condo/strata law, and
    hard and soft costs.

    Comprehensive
    Reports

    Our industry-leading reports provide clear breakdowns of all demolition and removal costs, labour and professional fees, materials, required upgrades to current bylaws and building codes, taxes, and inflation.

    Costing Database

    Our proprietary software is based on actual costing information from architects, developers, and construction associations. Updates are made routinely according to regional published valuation services that consider local nuances.
