How accurate are these costs?

Craftsman Book Company has published detailed construction cost data for over 50 years. Costs in Insurance Replacement Estimator are based on Craftsman's popular annual reference National Building Cost Manual. National Appraisal Estimator is not a substitute for judgment, analysis and sound valuation practice. It's an aid in developing an informed opinion of appraisal cost. There's room for legitimate disagreement on appraisal costs, even when complete plans and specifications are available, the date and site are established, and labor and material costs are identical for all contractors.

What costs are not included in the National Appraisal Estimator report?

Site development (such as bringing utilities to the site), government mandated fees and the cost of overcoming unusual soil conditions.

What about the cost of options, such as heating and cooling?

National Appraisal Estimator makes it easy to add the cost of features such as heating and cooling (including unit heaters), porches and decks, basements, balconies, fireplaces, garages, attics, pools and spas.
