Abstract:

Techniques are described for valuing, insuring, and certifying a valuation of landscape architectures. According to exemplary embodiments, a method for valuing landscape architectures includes identifying a landscape architectural object, and determining a future value associated with the landscape architectural object. The determined future value is based on at least one of a material cost associated with the landscape architectural object and an installation cost associated with an installing of the landscape architectural object in a landscape architectural setting. A growth rate is associated with the landscape architectural object, and a size of the object is determined using the growth rate. The material and installation costs can be determined based on at least one of the determined size, aggregate pricing information, and environmental and economic trends.

Abstract:

Methods and a system are disclosed for insuring landscape architectural objects. According to an exemplary embodiment, a value associated with a landscape architectural object is determined. A change in the value of the object is determined over a period of time. A risk-of-loss to the object is determined attributable to an eligible event that can occur over the time period. A cost of an indemnity against a loss to the object is determined from the eligible event over the time period based on the change in value and the risk-of-loss.
