Our Residential Data Pyramid

To help understand the depth of our models, it’s useful to consider our data pyramid for residential properties which features four key levels of data, progressively becoming more finite:

  • Property location, type and occupancy type
  • Number and make of up occupants
  • Room numbers and types
  • Consideration for the quality and quantity of contents

This extensive range of data ensures our models are able to build bespoke replacement cost quotes for any property to a high level of accuracy.
