The paper first outlines the background to calculating rebuilding costs and how the adequacy of the sum insured may be considered within insurance policies. Readers are then guided through the practical aspects of obtaining measurements and use of the BCIS guides when dealing with different types of property. The author, John Carey, is both a Chartered Loss Adjuster and Chartered Surveyor with considerable experience in the handling of property claims.
