Assessing Building Reinstatement Costs: At Huntley and Partners, we go beyond simple building valuations. Our BRCA reports involve a detailed assessment of the costs of restoring a building to a usable state. During our on-site inspections, we thoroughly examine the property, taking into account factors such as its fabric, structure, and specialized features. This includes architectural elements, monuments, underground parking, water features, specialist plants, or lifting equipment.

Our assessments also consider important aspects such as the building's age, condition, and previous uses. With this information and the help of current BCIS construction rates, we provide you with a detailed numerical assessment. Our reports consider additional costs or deductions based on specific factors, such as the overall site, listed status, conservation area designation, regional location, professional fees, and building cost inflation.

Benefits of Building Reinstatement Cost Assessments:

By accurately estimating reinstatement costs, we ensure that you receive the appropriate compensation in the event of a loss, preventing disputes or inadequate payouts.
