WHAT IS A DESKTOP REBUILD COST ASSESSMENT?

A desktop rebuild cost assessment is a professional validation of your property's rebuild cost, completed remotely using advanced technology and expert analysis. Unlike traditional on-site assessments, a desktop assessment uses:

​

- High-resolution aerial imagery and mapping data
- Property information you provide
- Our assessors' professional expertise and industry knowledge
- BCIS (Building Cost Information Service) data and regional rates

​

This approach allows us to provide accurate, RICS-regulated rebuild cost assessments without the need for a physical site visit, making it faster, more convenient, and more cost-effective for most properties.

WHY CHOOSE A DESKTOP ASSESSMENT?

Most desktop assessments are completed in half the time of a site survey, without requiring you to be present for a site visit. Simply provide the necessary property information, and our assessors will complete the validation remotely.

Desktop assessments are typically more affordable than on-site assessments, making them an excellent choice for standard properties where a site visit isn't necessary.
