Cotality Disclaimer

The Renovation Estimate generated by the Cotality Renovation Calculator is an estimate of the cost to renovate certain improvements and is generated by the Renovation Calculator which uses your answers to the calculator questions together with certain construction data to statistically derive a renovation estimate through a series of computer implemented algorithms.
The Renovation Estimate does not take into account individual design features, site specific conditions, structural conditions and materials, local planning laws or any other regulations. Renovation Estimates include an allowance for builder’s margins and GST.
The Renovation Estimate is an indicative guide only and is provided for personal general information purposes only and must not be relied upon as an accurate representation of the costs associated with renovating your property.
While Cotality uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the Renovation Estimate is current, Cotality does not warrant the accuracy, currency or completeness of the Renovation Estimate and to the full extent permitted by law excludes all loss or damage howsoever arising (including through negligence) in connection with the Renovation Estimate.
That there are a number of qualifications that apply to the Renovation Estimate, which are set out in the Cotality Renovation Calculator Terms of Use.
The Renovation Estimate is not intended to replace a professional valuation through a person appropriately qualified to undertake a valuation of improvement replacement costs (such as a valuer or quantity surveyor).
Where any default information in provided in the Cotality Renovation Calculator, it is your responsibility to check that the default information is accurate and correct. If you do not amend it, we will assume that you have diligently checked the default information and agree that it is accurate and correct.
No physical inspection or reference to building features beyond what you describe to us (or have accepted as pre-populated) have been used in generating the Renovation Estimate. Except where expressly identified, no local laws (including local planning requirements) have been taken into account in generating the Estimate.
Construction costs vary regularly from time to time and by region – construction industry data used in the Renovation Calculator is updated regularly (as it becomes available) but may not always be up to date where construction costs are volatile, and likewise the Renovation Estimate may become out of date in a relatively short period of time. Also, for certain regions, there may be less construction data available or a lower quality of information, and this may adversely affect the Renovation Estimate.
Any descriptions about the information requested for the Cotality Renovation Calculator are simply included to assist you in completing the required information.
We do not accept any responsibility for the answers you provide or the Third Party.
Information that the Cotality Renovation Calculator receives, and as such, we will not be liable for the accuracy of, your reliance of or use of the Cotality Renovation Calculator.
