Sum Insured Calculator
The Cordell Sum Sure calculator will help you estimate the cost to rebuild your home to the same standard in the event of a total loss.
The right amount of cover is so important.
For most of us, our home is an incredibly valuable asset, so we need to make sure we have the right cover in place to protect it. Without the right amount of cover in place, you run the risk of being unable to rebuild your home to a similar size or standard.
The Cordell Sum Sure calculator can help by estimating your "Sum Insured" amount. This amount is how much you will need to rebuild your home in the event of a total loss, and includes things like the cost of removing debris or rebuilding special features; these are easy to miss when you’re thinking about the true cost of rebuilding.
Your Sum Insured amount includes
- Your home - the actual building
- Fencing, decks, patios
- Garages and/or sleepout
- Swimming pool
- Driveway
- Professional fees
- Recreational features (spa pools, water features)
- Special features (bridges, culverts, landings, jetties)
- Built-in Barbeque(s)
- Retaining walls
- Gazebos
- Demolition and debris removal
- Compliance costs
- Garden Sheds
