What RebuildCostASSESSMENT.com does

RebuildCostASSESSMENT.com is the trading brand of Rebuild Cost Assessment Limited, a UK-based, RICS-regulated surveying firm that produces professional rebuild cost assessments for property insurance purposes. The firm estimates the cost to fully reconstruct a building from the ground up, enabling property owners to set accurate buildings sums insured and avoid the Average Clause penalty on claims. Its core service mix comprises three tiers — a remote Desktop Assessment using gross external area and square-metre rates, an Enhanced Commercial Desktop Assessment for commercial rebuild values up to £20 million (with a property questionnaire and quality-control call), and an on-site Site Assessment for properties requiring physical inspection. A REFRESH Update Service applies the latest BCIS (Building Cost Information Service) rate data to existing reports less than 24 months old.

The underlying technology stack combines publicly and non-publicly available property data with BCIS rebuild cost rate data, processed through in-house RICS-qualified assessors; most assessments are delivered remotely without a physical site visit. The firm holds a proprietary empirical dataset from more than 29,000 assessed UK residential and commercial properties, which underpins annual industry infographics and a thought-leadership position on UK underinsurance.

Commercial economics are built on a per-property, quote-based, one-time fee model (no disclosed subscription); pricing is not publicly listed and varies by service tier. Customers span individual homeowners and landlords, insurance brokers and managing agents (who access discounted account rates or refer clients without handling payments), and insurers/coverholders (who can engage the firm on programmes to tackle inaccurate sums insured). The firm is part of the RiskSTOP Group Ltd, operates only in the UK (including Channel Islands and Isle of Man), and is headquartered in Bournemouth with a trading office in Poundbury, Dorchester. GTM is a hybrid of direct-to-consumer self-serve (website ORDER NOW), inside sales (phone, email, live chat), SEO/content marketing, and B2B2C referrals through the insurance intermediary channel.

Revenue model

1. Rebuild Cost Assessment Reports (One-time): The company generates revenue through one-time fees for rebuild cost assessment reports. For intermediaries (brokers, managing agents, insurers), invoices are issued upon completion with 7-day payment terms. For direct consumer/business clients, charges are either invoiced on completion (7-day terms) or paid in advance (PAYG model). Each individual property assessment generates a separate charge. Reports are priced via quotation and are not publicly disclosed on the website.
2. REFRESH Update Reports (One-time): An additional one-time fee service that updates existing rebuild cost assessment reports using the latest BCIS rates. The REFRESH service is limited to reports less than 24 months old and reflects only rate changes, not new property inspections.

• Hollis Global: UK-based independent surveying and real estate consultancy providing building surveying, valuation, and insurance-related reinstatement cost assessments. Comparable as a UK-rooted, RICS-regulated surveying firm serving insurance clients with rebuild cost services.
• e.surv Chartered Surveyors: Major UK chartered surveying firm providing residential and commercial valuation services, including insurance-related rebuild cost assessments. Closely comparable as a RICS-regulated peer delivering professional rebuild cost valuations at scale across the UK.

Others

Broad incumbents

Comparable as a large incumbent serving the same insurance value chain but operating at much wider scope than a rebuild-cost-only specialist.
• Crawford & Company: Global independent claims management and adjusted services provider with insurance-side property loss assessment and valuation capabilities. Comparable as a broad incumbent in insurance valuation and damage assessment, but with a portfolio far wider than rebuild cost assessment alone.
