Empowering Clients: How Reinstatement Cost Assessments Enhance Confidence and Security in Construction Projects

Final thoughts:

RCAs are a client-focussed practice that directly enhances confidence and security in construction projects. By focusing on accurate insurance protection clients can navigate their projects with a heightened sense of assurance, trusting that their investments are in capable hands.

Poole Dick are an RICS accredited firm, established for over 70 years, providing Reinstatement Cost Assessment for property portfolio holders on a local, regional, or national level.

Our RCAs provide your insurers with a rebuild value for determining your building insurance. As part of the process, we will visit your premises to assess all aspects of your building/s to provide an accurate rebuild value. This will allow you to ensure that your building is insured to an appropriate value if you make a claim against your insurance.

The Royal Institute for Chartered Surveyors guidelines recommend that the rebuild value (sum insured) should be checked regularly, with an adjustment made on an annual basis to reflect inflationary effects. A full review should also be undertaken every three years, or earlier should significant alterations be made to the insured property.

Reinstatement Cost Assessments are particularly relevant now as insurance values are likely to have changed significantly due to economic uncertainty and materials price increases following recent economic shocks.
