Note:

The area is based on Gross Floor Area

This building cost calculator is based on single building rates provided by Andrew Nock Valuers for the gross floor area of a building. The gross floor area is the total of the fully enclosed covered floor areas of a building over all floor levels measured. Measurements should be based on the external measurements of the building that is including the thickness of all walls. In this building cost-calculator unenclosed covered areas are not included in the gross floor area.

Building cost rates per square metre - a disclaimer

Estimated building costs only provide an indicative value of the likely cost of rebuilding a building within that category. While a single rate does provide a reasonable guide in many instances it should not be relied on to set a declared value or sum insured for a building. It should be regarded as a reasonable test only. There are a vast many factors which can influence the true replacement value of building.

Please note that the building cost rates do not include allowance for the following:

• Access

• External structures, i.e. balconies, verandahs, covered ways, carports, garages
• Furniture and furnishings
