Home Building CostsWhat would the replacement home building costs be to restore your home back to its original condition prior to a disaster or catastrophe? In estimating the probable cost of reconstruction, homeowners should consider the
• Type of home—ranch, 2-story, etc.
• Quality of finished materials—upgrades or builder quality
• Appliances
• Mechanical systems
• Wood frame or block, roof construction etc. • Upgraded bathrooms
• Kitchens, including cabinets and counter top materials
• Tile or wood floors
• Other unique interior and exterior features
Other things to consider are whether the home is on flat ground or a hillside, near a water course or in dry country, and whether there are wide-area risks that may damage many homes in the area from fire, storm, wind or rain, tornado, hurricane or other causes like flood and earthquake. The reason for this is that the replacement home costs of construction usually skyrocket when there is a disaster which destroys many dwellings. The cost of materials and labor rise due to high demand, whereas they remain stable when there is a single loss.
It is also a good idea to take pictures of the interior and exterior of the house and all of the rooms to show how your house was built and with what materials. Other structures can include outbuildings, such as garages, storage sheds, guest houses, fences, retaining walls and driveways.
A major insurance provider is quoted as saying . . . Since it is impossible to predict today what the exact cost will be to replace your home in the future, it's important to have enough coverage to account for unforeseen circumstances. Your insurance company will recommend that you purchase an amount of coverage equal to the estimated replacement cost.
