Andy & Brett will tell you straight, finding out you're underinsured at claim time is entirely avoidable. But most people don't take that step until it's too late.

The policy looks fine, the premium gets paid, and the assumption is that if something happened, the cover would be there.

For too many property owners, that assumption doesn't survive contact with an actual rebuild cost.

An accurate valuation exists so that conversation never has to happen, our team can make sure it doesn't.

A rebuild valuation shouldn't be complicated or stressful for the people who need one. Clear communication and an accurate report, that's what every property owner deserves.

Thank you for the kind words, Francis.

We've seen it time and time again. A valuation done years ago, left untouched & out of date.

Our team know that costs change, materials move & labour markets shift.

What was accurate two years ago may have drifted further than you'd expect & you won't know until a claim makes it visible.

Our recommendation? Revisit your valuation every two years. If yours is older than that, it's worth a conversation.

In over 35 years working in this industry, we have never seen material prices come down.

Not in a recession. Not in a flat market. Not when construction activity slows and labour stabilises. Materials and construction cost always moves in one direction.

A rebuild figure that isn't reviewed regularly is a rebuild figure that is falling behind.

The worst moment to find out your rebuild figure is wrong is when you're making a claim.

A client added $400,000 on top of their calculator figure because the number felt low. They insured for $1 million, but the rebuild came in at $1.6 million, so unfortunately, they had to find the difference themselves.

That outcome is not unusual. It is the predictable result of a figure that was never accurate to begin with.

A recent news report has advised that insurance premiums have risen more than 40% in the last two years. That’s three times inflation since 2011.

Some of that is directly connected to rebuild figures that do not reflect what it actually costs to build.

When the pool runs short, everyone pays more. That is how this works.

If you're underinsured and something happens, you pay the gap.

If you're not insured at all? The government steps in, buying land, relocating homeowners, issuing payouts. Not at full value, however, it happens, and we fund it through our taxes.

Proper insurance that’s accurately valued exists so none of that has to be the outcome. Get the number right before you need it.

Many properties in New Zealand are significantly underinsured, and most owners have no idea.

When we compare rebuild cost estimates from the most widely used online calculators against our own on-site assessments, the gap is consistent. Properties relying on these tools are typically 35 to 50 percent underinsured.

A professional rebuild valuation that is specific to your property, your location and current market conditions is the only way to know what your property actually costs to rebuild today.
