Repair Cost Estimates & Claim Support in Melbourne

 

When your home suffers damage from an insurable event like fire, storm, flood or impact your Insurance company will either send a Home Assessor, Loss Adjuster or their own Panel Builder to assess the damage and they will then provide an Assessment and repair cost report back to the Insurer. 


What should you do if the assessment is incorrect in the way of scope or cost?


That’s where Rezi Estimating Services steps in.


We act as independent building consultants, offering independent repair cost estimates and home insurance claim support. We undertake our own onsite assessment, review all of the insurer’s reports and we provide a second impartial opinion. This impartial advice gives you evidence to confirm or challenge a claim assessment and secure a fairer outcome.


Why Choose an Independent Building Consultant for Home Insurance Claims


 

Insurance companies appoint their own Claims Assessors. Their Assessors may not have that much building experience or knowledge and they may not capture the entire scope of works to bring your property back to pre loss condition. Also if the Insurer is offering you a Cash Settlement based on their own Assessors advice , the cash settlement offer may be lower than the true repair costs.


Our role is to provide accurate independent cost advice based on 25 years of extensive Building & Construction experience which includes working within the Insurance Industry in key roles such as Loss Adjusting, Home Assessing and Estimating. 


If the Insurance Company claims your loss is $100,000, but you believe the cash settlement is low and the Insurance Company has missed items which relate to the claim, we can help. 

We will assess and provide our own impartial report for comparison. We ensure that the settlement offer relies on accurate, defendable building costs advice, not guesswork.

Repair or Replacement, Cash Settlements, and Disputes

 When insurers review a claim, they may suggest repairing or replacing damaged property. They might also offer a cash settlement. Often, the amount offered is not enough to cover actual repair costs.


Our independent cost reports give you the proof you need to settle disputes or negotiate a fair settlement. This can include getting information ready for a settlement offer or checking if an insurer's assessment is right.


We also assist with alternative dispute resolution. If your claim goes to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA), you can trust our reports as fair and accurate evidence.

Accurate cost estimates are crucial. Whatever the situation, we help ensure every party involved has the right information to reach a fair outcome.

We Work With Homeowners, Brokers, and Claims Advocates

 We work with a wide range of clients:


  • Homeowners – to check if cash settlement offers are fair and the full scope of works has been captured. 
  • Insurance Brokers – to get independent advice for their customers.
  • Claims Advocates – to strengthen negotiations with technical building expertise.


Our independence is key. We are not tied to any Insurance Company. We provide impartial, evidence-based reports that stand up in negotiations and disputes based on over 25 years of Building & Construction experience.
