    Marshall Swift / Boeckh have similar replacement cost data, but it is much more refined [reconstruction] data.

    Full / partial structural component loss reconstruction data, established from daily, and post catastrophe, loss claim markets, may give a clearer picture of future liability obligations for insurers, and adjusters.

    Market conduct examinations can become more accurate, and revealing, by such loss value data mining…

    How do actual reconstruction / replacement loss value components, established at an agents desk, compare to reconstruction / replacement claim loss value components presented to homeowner claimants

    Part of the article states;

    \”Replacement costs, often calculated using outdated square- foot or unit-count methods, are based on prices for labor, materials, overhead, profit and fees that are in effect prior to the loss.\”
    __________

    Reconstruction costs contain the same base (labor, materials, overhead, profit and fees) construction contractor business costs, plus mobility overhead costs commonly encountered in reconstruction projects / markets.

    Premiums can reflect those anticipated replacement / reconstruction business values.

    Insured loss claim estimates should reflect those anticipated replacement / reconstruction claim loss values.
