Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it important to update my building replacement valuation regularly?
Construction costs, material prices and labour rates change over time. An outdated valuation may result in insufficient cover or unnecessarily high premiums. It’s recommended to update your building replacement valuation every 1–3 years, or sooner if your property undergoes major renovations or market conditions shift significantly.
Does a market value differ from a replacement value?
Yes. Market value reflects what a buyer would pay for your property, including land. Replacement value only estimates the cost to rebuild the structure itself. Insurance companies use replacement value to determine coverage, not market value, so getting the right valuation type is crucial for appropriate protection.
What is included in a building replacement cost estimate?
A replacement cost estimate typically includes demolition, debris removal, rebuilding materials and labour, architectural and engineering fees, permits and compliance costs. It may also factor in inflation and cost escalations to reflect the real cost of replacing your property in the current building environment.
Can I use online calculators instead of a professional valuation?
Online calculators offer general estimates and often miss key cost factors like site access, materials used or unique architectural features. A professional valuation is far more accurate and accepted by insurers as a reliable and defensible figure in the event of a claim or dispute.
