Is this valuation for the construction loan? To my knowledge they value it as a 'completed build' at this stage, so the data you should be looking at would be…

OMG, our valuation!!! Update, good news

A valuation conducted by a licensed valuer is worth the paper it is written on. An 'appraisal' by any Joe Bloe, namely real estate agents, are not.
