This information is essential for all surveyors, valuers and loss adjusters who carry out Rebuilding Cost Assessments. BCIS Rebuilding Cost information is the basis for insurance reinstatement and rebuilding cost assessments for residential properties in the UK. Professionals who are carrying out assessments need to use the cost information contained within the Guides to make sure that all variables have been covered and that the assessment is correct.
In total, 81 costs for individual houses are given. However, it must be stressed that these costs are not applicable to listed houses and will need to be adjusted further if they are used in conservation areas.
In addition to new adjustments which are particularly relevant to Georgian houses, there are new adjustments for swimming pools, decking and basement car parks in modern flats.
