What a Commercial Property Replacement Cost Estimate Covers
A commercial property replacement cost estimate combines both building structure replacement cost and business personal property (FF&E) replacement cost into one holistic estimate sized for a full commercial property insurance policy. This bundled view helps set both coverage limits together rather than estimating each in isolation.
Estimate Florida Consulting provides detailed combined commercial property estimates for business and property owners statewide, coordinated closely with our commercial building replacement cost service for structure-only detail and our commercial contents replacement service for business personal property-only detail.
This guide breaks down 2026 Florida market rates for combined commercial building and contents replacement cost, an interactive cost calculator, and the Florida-specific factors — hurricane exposure and coinsurance requirements — that most affect your final policy limits.

Reviewing both together helps commercial property owners avoid a coinsurance penalty from underinsuring either side of a bundled commercial policy.

Replacement cost to rebuild the commercial building itself.
Business Personal Property
Replacement cost for furniture, fixtures, equipment, and inventory.
