Today is World Mental Health Day, which falls within this year's Mental Health Awareness Week.

This year, the theme for Mental Health Awareness Week is "Top Up Together", which focuses on the importance of connecting with others - whether it's at work or outside the office - across the Five Ways to Wellbeing.

This week, as a team, we've been particularly mindful of interacting with each other across each of these. In particular, giving our time, words and presence to support each other, taking notice of what gives us joy, and embracing new experiences together.

Taking the guesswork (and boredom) out of construction costs, rebuild valuations, and insurance risks. Hosted by Andy, a Chartered Quantity Surveyor with 35+ years of experience, and Brett, a master stonemason and engineer. Together, they built tech platform C3IQ to help the insurance industry get it right.

Each episode breaks down construction and insurance trends - rising costs, regulations, industry blind spots - in plain English, with a few laughs along the way. No jargon. No fluff. Just straight-talking insight. For insurers, brokers, builders, or anyone wanting the truth behind the numbers.

On Friday, our team experienced something special - celebrating Chuseok, the Korean harvest festival.

A big thank you to Mike Shin, one of our talented Quantity Surveyors, for sharing the tradition with us. From bringing in delicious food to introducing us to the game Yut Nori (let's just say the competition got intense!), we really appreciated the opportunity to experience this celebration.

It shouldn't really matter whether we're in a soft market or a hard market. We should be insuring for the right amount of cover.

This month on their podcast, Brett and Andy talk about how they are concerned that we're setting ourselves up for a boom-bust scenario based on how the insurance industry is handling the current soft insurance market.

What is a soft insurance market?

We've been hearing this term a lot from the insurance industry, so Brett and Andy decided to have a chat about their understanding of what it is, what it means, and how we can help.

An online calculator estimated $1,422,343 for a New Plymouth property's rebuild cost. In comparison, a professional Quantity Surveyor calculated that the true rebuild cost would be $4,121,000.

If the homeowner had relied on the online calculator's figure, their property would have been underinsured by $2,698,657!

There's a reason online calculators don't cost anything.

Having a Rebuild Valuation done for your commercial property is critical.

Underinsurance can result in significant financial losses in the event of damage or destruction. A professional valuation not only mitigates this risk �but can also mean you are paying significantly less in FENZ levies. Many elements within a valuation are exempt from the levy, and our detailed process ensures these items are identified and excluded in compliance with current legislation on how it is calculated, reducing your overall costs.

A Dunedin property owner received vastly different rebuild estimates when comparing valuation methods.

An online calculator suggested a rebuild cost of $2,259,180, while a professional Quantity Surveyor's assessment revealed the true cost would be $3,770,428.

This significant discrepancy means the homeowners would have been 40% underinsured if they had relied solely on the free online tool. In a worst-case scenario requiring a complete rebuild, they would have been over $1.5 million short!
