Construction Costs Rise for New Business

-------------------

-------------------

December 17, 2021

As announced in Personal Lines Bulletin: Inflation Factor Adjustments, inflation is higher than previous years due to increasing construction costs. Citizens’ cost estimator, Residential Component Technology (RCT) Express, makes updates based on underlying construction costs each quarter. The first quarter cost update will occur on January 1, 2022.

Any cost estimate in PolicyCenter that is created or updated after January 1 will reflect the updates.

Note: This includes cost estimates due to policy changes.

It is important to insure properties for the full replacement cost. This can prevent dwellings from being underinsured in the event of a loss.
