2009 ranks as one of the most costly years in terms of insured property losses after a number of disasters struck Canada throughout the year.
The 2009 Property Report discusses how these disasters drove loss estimate values and volume, and it also provides insight on these key findings:
- Trends in cost of composition shingles, lumber, drywall, and other construction materials.
- The volume of insurance estimates reported to Xactware per month.
- The average insurance estimate value by type of loss.
- The rise in popularity of green building materials and techniques.
- Changes in reconstruction costs broken down by province.
