Hi I'm Roselle with BuildersrRisk.net
Let's talk about replacement costs. It's one of the biggest misconceptions
of people buying property insurance, but first let's see the basic concept.
What is replacement cost?
Replacement cost is the amount of money that the insurance
company will pay to rebuild your property according to the current rates
in the market.
Who determines this rate?
This rate is determined by Marshall and Swift.
They are the leading indicators of how much it costs to rebuild.
this company has been around for 100 years.
What they do is determine the costs of
labor in specific areas, the cost of materials and the cost of getting
materials to certain areas.
In general they do a deep research to come up with what it costs to rebuild.
It is the bias obligation to ensure their property to
100 % of replacement costs and failure to do so can result in what is
called Co-Insurance penalty. How this works is that in the event of the claim
the insurance company figures out what the replacement cost is.
If you aren't sure - less than this number, the amount showing showed you is divided by the
insurance company's replacement costs and this is the percentage they will
give you for your damages. Here's an example.
The insurance company determines
your building should have been insured to $500,000 when in fact it
was only insured to $400,000.
They will take the $400,000
and divided by $500,000 giving you a factor of 0.8 or
80%, so the insurance company will only pay you 80 percent of your damages in
the event of a $100,000 claim your payout would only be
$80,000 and she would be $20,000 out-of-pocket
Also, if the percentage of the coverage to the replacement cost the building
falls below 80% almost all policies turn to an actual cash value policy instead
of getting replacement costs on your claim. This is very important and many
people feel if they had $400,000 in coverage any claims list will be paid in
full. This is false it's not an expensive coverage when you buy Builders Risk for
example and it makes sense to have your property insured correctly to the amount
it costs to rebuild.
