Frequently asked questions

For detailed advice tailored to your specific strata, talk to one of our team today.

An insurance valuation is a professional assessment of the estimated cost to rebuild a property from the ground up in the event of total destruction. This includes not just the building structure itself, but all relevant costs involved in reinstatement.

The total building sum insured is more than just bricks and mortar. A compliant insurance valuation considers all costs that would be incurred if the property had to be rebuilt entirely. These include:

  • Demolition and site clearance
  • Professional fees (architects, engineers, project managers)
  • Construction and material costs at current market rates
  • Council and statutory fees
  • Cost escalations (due to delays or inflation)
  • Replacement of common property assets (lifts, pools, fencing, etc.)
  • Compliance upgrades under current building codes (e.g., fire safety, accessibility).
We also factor in items specific to your scheme’s configuration to ensure the valuation is accurate, defensible, and tailored.

We specialise in valuations for strata schemes, building management committees (BMCs), and community associations. This includes residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments—whether newly registered or well-established.

The Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW) requires owners’ corporations to determine the full replacement value of their building at least once every five years. Due to rapidly rising construction and material costs, we strongly recommend updating your insurance valuation annually to ensure adequate coverage. This proactive approach helps avoid the risk of underinsurance and aligns your coverage with current market realities.

A Unit of Entitlement valuation determines the proportion of ownership and shared costs allocated to each lot in a strata or community scheme. These valuations are required at the time of strata plan registration or when modifying existing plans, in accordance with the Strata Schemes Development Act 2015 (NSW).

Our typical turnaround is 3 to 10 business days, depending on the size and complexity of the property. If you’re working with a tight deadline—such as a settlement or insurance renewal—we can accommodate urgent requests with expedited service.

Yes, we conduct site inspections to accurately assess building condition, construction materials, and other factors that influence replacement cost. In limited cases, desktop assessments may be appropriate, particularly for renewals.

Costs vary depending on the size, type, and complexity of the property. We provide fixed-fee proposals with a clearly defined scope, so you know exactly what to expect before we begin. If you would like us to provide you with a quote, please get in touch here.

Absolutely. All reports are prepared by a registered valuer and comply with the relevant legislation and valuation standards.
