Important information about how this guide works

The programme for calculating the estimated replacement costs of your Home Building is provided by Reed Business Information Pty Ltd (ABN 47 000 146 821) trading as Reed Construction Data, and is licensed to Suncorp for use on this web-site. The building calculator programme uses typical building replacement costs identified by Reed from its industry research. Reed authorises use of the building calculator on the basis that whilst every care is taken to ensure the accuracy of the information as a guide for costing, no responsibility is accepted by Reed for its accuracy. Reed's research indicates that in 80% of cases the building estimate delivers an accuracy of +/- 10%. Suncorp takes no responsibility for the accuracy of any information in, or results derived from, Reed's building calculator.

Estimates for contents replacement costs are provided by Suncorp and are derived from statistics about Suncorp and GIO customers. All estimates for contents replacement costs are averages, calculated as a proportion of the Home Building estimated replacement costs; they do not take into account the value of any particular items. All building replacement costs include an allowance for GST.

This guide provides estimates only, based on data about industry averages. The value of your Home Building and contents will vary depending on your circumstances. This guide does not provide a definitive valuation of any Home Building or contents. For a professional valuation you will need to contact an architect, builder or other valuation expert.

Home and Contents insurance is issued by Suncorp Metway Insurance Ltd ABN 83 075 695 966. Please read the Product Disclosure Statement before you make any decisions regarding the product. Contact us for a copy.
