An insurance replacement cost estimate is an independent, evidence-based assessment of what it would cost to fully rebuild a property at today's prices, covering construction, demolition, professional fees, and statutory costs. MCG's replacement cost reports are accepted by all major Australian insurers and used by property owners, body corporates, and managed funds to set or review their building sum insured and protect against under-insurance.

Standard insurance calculators often underestimate true replacement costs. An independent assessment ensures your property is adequately insured, protecting you from significant out-of-pocket expenses if you need to make a claim.
Under-insurance occurs when your sum insured is less than the actual cost to rebuild your property. In a claim situation, you may receive only a proportion of your loss, leaving you to cover the shortfall yourself.
We recommend updating your assessment every 3-5 years, or sooner if you've completed significant renovations or if there have been substantial changes in construction costs in your area.
