Earlier in the year, our Quantity Surveying team spent the day volunteering with the amazing group at Auckland City Mission, packing food parcels made from donated goods.

These boxes go directly to Aucklanders who are experiencing food insecurity. It was a great way for us to give back and support the important work the Mission does in our community.

An online calculator estimated $1,973,045 to rebuild a Dunedin home, while a professional Quantity Surveyor's assessment determined the actual rebuild cost would be $3,847,194.

This significant discrepancy means the homeowners would have been 49% underinsured if they had relied solely on the free online tool. In a worst-case scenario requiring a complete rebuild, they would have faced a shortfall of nearly $1.9 million!

There's a reason these online calculators are free - they simply can't replace the expertise and thoroughness of a qualified Quantity Surveyor's professional valuation.

Andy, Brett and Alex talk about a concerning trend in this month's podcast episode - clients receiving tenders that are much lower than they should be.

On the surface, this may seem like a good thing; however, in reality, accepting these tenders would create a rod for the client down the track.

Watch out for the full podcast and the guys' predictions for where the construction market is headed.

A homeowner on Waiheke Island discovered a dramatic difference in reconstruction cost estimates depending on the assessment method used.

A free online calculator provided a rebuild cost of $1,174,069, but when a qualified Quantity Surveyor conducted a thorough evaluation, they determined the actual cost would be $2,581,391.

This substantial gap meant the property owner would have faced a 55% insurance shortfall in the event of a total loss had they trusted only the online calculator!

There is a reason these calculators are free.
