rebuild valuers unique approach
Rebuild insurance valuations
Buildings should be valued for insurance purposes at regular intervals to ensure there is adequate cover in the event of a potential disaster.
Regular insurance valuation updates enable insurers to quantify their claim exposure and to be in a position to offer lower premiums. We normally recommend that valuation updates are undertaken annually to account for increases in construction costs.
In completing insurance valuations we calculate the reinstatement value (replacement cost) of the existing building. This is based on current construction costs and compares the subject property to other buildings of a similar size and quality. Allowances for building consents, professional fees and contingencies are taken into account.
Rebuild valuers
Every site visit and subsequent report generated by rebuild valuers is done by a fully qualified quantity surveyor ensuring that your rebuild estimate is as accurate as possible. Our quantity surveyors have extensive experience in both residential and commercial building – we get it right, every time.
