Insurance Valuations

What is an Insurance Reinstatement Report? It is a detailed current cost estimate to rebuild an existing building should a disaster occur.

To ensure adequate insurance cover, all Building Owners, residential, commercial or industrial, should consider an Insurance Reinstatement Report for their building.

The cost of rebuilding after a disaster can be considerably higher than the cost of building on a greenfield site.

Cost Factors to Consider:

• Redesign Costs and Consultants Fees

• Upgrade of building to meet current building regulations and Australian Standards

• Demolition and removal of Debris

• Access to site (restricted or otherwise)

• Location of site

• Availability and cost of Labour and Materials

• Loss of Rental (Investment Properties)

• Cost escalation over insurance period
