Webinar – Reinstatement costs in 2026: what insurance professionals need to know

Getting reinstatement costs right is central to managing building insurance risk. Yet in practice, sums insured are still too often shaped by assumptions and misapplied indexation that no longer reflect construction reality, even as the inflation shocks of recent years have eased. 

This webinar brings together a panel of BCIS experts to explore how reinstatement costs are moving in 2026, and why perceptions of risk can have as much influence as the data itself. 

We’ll cover: 

• What is driving reinstatement costs now, beyond headline inflation 
• The most common causes of underinsurance, why they slip through the cracks, and the real-world consequences 
• The role of indexation and index-linking, where it works well, and where it can fall short 
• How sustainability and carbon considerations are influencing reinstatement decisions 
• What insurers and surveyors need to be aware of as exposure to underinsurance continues to evolve, and how to communicate these risks clearly to policyholders 

Whether you work in underwriting, broking, claims or cost consultancy, this webinar will help you reassess how the risk of underinsurance is understood, communicated and managed in 2026.
