Nitesh Shrivastava — Civil Engineer | Government Approved P&M Valuer
Engineering-led valuation for plant & machinery, industrial equipment and factory assets, with a physical inspection approach focused on condition, Remaining Useful Life (RUL) and DRC accuracy.
Why the Civil Engineering qualification matters for your factory
A P&M valuation is not only a calculation. The physical condition of the asset directly influences the valuation outcome.
The most commercially important difference between a Civil Engineer’s P&M valuation and a non-engineer’s desktop estimate is the physical condition assessment.
When Nitesh Shrivastava arrives at your factory floor, the inspection includes:
Structural Condition
Structural condition of press frames and machine tool beds for fatigue cracks.
Moving Components
Lubrication and cleanliness condition of moving parts.
Running Equipment
Bearing noise in compressors and motors when running.
Electrical Condition
Electrical insulation condition on switchgear and motors.
Weld Integrity
Weld integrity on pressure vessels and boilers.
Civil Foundation
Civil foundation condition for heavy equipment affected by factory structural integrity.
From physical inspection to Remaining Useful Life
This engineering inspection is what produces the accurate Remaining Useful Life (RUL) estimate — the single most important number in the DRC computation.
The assessment reflects your equipment’s actual condition rather than its age alone, helping the valuation account for the physical realities observed at the factory.
A non-engineer valuer applying a standard depreciation table from an age schedule may produce a number that is 20–40% wrong in either direction.
A valuation format designed for bank credit requirements
A2Z Valuers is empanelled with leading nationalised banks, private banks, and PSUs for SARFAESI P&M hypothecation certificates.
What bank empanelment means
Empanelment means the bank’s credit committee accepts the certificate format and methodology without additional certification or qualification challenge.
Panel Valuer Certificate
When the bank asks for a “panel valuer” certificate, A2Z Valuers delivers the certificate the bank’s credit policy requires.
SARFAESI P&M Hypothecation
The practice covers SARFAESI P&M hypothecation certificates for relevant bank valuation requirements.
Credit-Ready Documentation
The valuation is structured around the certificate format and methodology expected within the bank’s credit process.
