Insurance Valuation Reports

When insurance matters

In some instances, an Insurance Valuation is required for compliance, dependant on the state in which the property resides. In all other cases Acumentis recommends getting an independent insurance valuation if:

  • You have never engaged a qualified valuer to assess your declared value for insurance.
  • You are reviewing your business interruption cover.
  • It has been more than two years since your last independent insurance valuation report.
  • Your asset-base has changed through acquisition or downsizing.
  • You are undertaking an insurance risk assessment.
  • You are looking to get a building valuation for insurance purposes.
  • Mediation
  • Compulsory acquisition and resumption valuations
  • Portfolio services

 

Types of insurance valuations

At Acumentis, we offer three different types of insurance valuations, depending on what coverage and service you require.

Extensive valuation

These insurance valuations are necessary if inadequate levels of sums insured have been detected or suspected. In addition to this, an extensive valuation is necessary if there has been a significant time gap since the last valuation. Our extensive valuations are offered to all property types. We assist you to understand building replacement costs, reinstatement values, property, and asset insurance coverage.

Insurance review

An insurance review simply checks all of your assets are adequately covered by your current insurance company. Acumentis recommends you undertake insurance valuation reviews whenever your business undergoes a significant change. This may be to its asset base or if it has recently gone through other major changes.

Desktop revaluation

The Acumentis revaluation services are offered as part of a longer-term insurance valuation program. Your insurance valuation expert provides essential advice and re-evaluation of insurance to confirm you have adequate coverage. At Acumentis, we advise all our clients to undergo regular insurance valuations of their property as well as plant and equipment assets.

Additional insurance services

To complement our valuation process, we also provide non-valuation services to address specific asset needs. These include at least:

  • Effective life reviews – a comprehensive review of a depreciating asset’s life, especially if it is subject to wear and tear.
  • Asset register reconciliation and reconstruction services.
  • Asset tagging and location audits.
  • Project management of large valuation assignments.

Contact your local Acumentis office to learn how these property and building insurance valuation services will help your business.

Insurance Valuation FAQs

It is a valuation of property for the purpose of replacement due to an insurable event such as a fire or natural disaster. An Acumentis valuation (also known as a replacement cost assessment) will make sure your building is insured for the full amount it would cost to replace, not just the replacement construction cost. Our experts will ensure all elements of replacement including building costs, escalation, demolition / removal of debris, re-design fees, application fees, and other professional fees are all considered and conform with current regulations. The value of land is not included in an Insurance Valuation as it is presumed that the land will still be intact after the insurable event.

- Engaging an expert will ensure accuracy and remove assumptions often used in market appraisals that could leave you underinsured.

- To ensure adequate coverage so in the event of a claim, owners are not left with substantial out-of-pocket expenses.

- Appropriate coverage will reduce the likelihood of paying unnecessarily high insurance premiums.

- Appropriate coverage is required to comply with regulatory requirements.
