Next Step Guide - Get the right replacement cost estimate

Is your commercial or residential property over-or under-insured?


Chances are that it is, given that research indicates some 75% of commercial buildings are underinsured, and professionals who assess building replacement costs frequently find instances of properties that are over-insured.

  • What exactly a replacement cost estimate is and how it differs from a property valuation

  • Risks and opportunities: why having a current, accurate assessment is so important for you and your property

  • Five best practices for establishing the right insurable value
