Building Reinstatement Cost Assessment

Insurance is becoming an increasingly significant factor in the construction process. That is why accurately and regularly evaluating building reinstatement costs is key in preventing over and under-insurance.

Our expert Building Reinstatement Cost Assessment (BRCA) service is rooted in a deep understanding of construction and strictly adheres to RICS Guidance Notes.

We accurately assess and estimate, for insurance purposes, exactly how much it will cost to rebuild a property that has been damaged or totally destroyed by fire or flood, or has suffered a serious structural failure.

Using specialist costing software and our best practices, our highly qualified and experienced chartered surveyors will benchmark against a vast range of properties in the UK. We then ensure the relevant reporting is done in a secure, transparent manner.

We will provide a reinstatement cost that covers the cost to rebuild the property back to its original specification. This cost will include:

  • Site clearance and removal of all debris.
  • Labour and materials.
  • Architect, engineer, surveyor and other professional fees.
  • Compliance with all Building Regulations.

No project is the same. That’s why we bespoke our assessments according to your requirements and resources, with the assistance of our various departments where needed to provide an accurate cost for reinstatement.

A BRCA for your insurer should be conducted every three to five years as markets, labour and building material costs can fluctuate considerably. This will help to ensure that you are properly covered and avoid paying unnecessarily high premiums.
