What a Condo Replacement Cost Estimate Covers
A condo replacement cost estimate calculates the dwelling/structure rebuild cost of a condo unit's interior — walls, flooring, cabinetry, and fixtures — for HO-6 condo insurance dwelling coverage purposes. This differs from a condo insurance premium quote or a personal property replacement estimate; it focuses specifically on what it would cost to rebuild the unit's interior structure and finishes from a total loss.
Estimate Florida Consulting provides detailed condo replacement cost estimates for condo owners and HOA boards statewide, coordinated closely with our condo insurance premium estimating and personal property replacement estimating services for complete coverage planning.
This guide breaks down 2026 Florida market rates for condo dwelling replacement cost by finish level, an interactive cost calculator, and the Florida-specific factors — master policy coordination and hurricane rebuild costs — that most affect your final number.
Square Footage Method vs. Percentage Method
The square footage method multiplies your unit's square footage by the average rebuilding cost per square foot for your area, giving a direct dollar estimate. The percentage method estimates dwelling coverage as roughly 20% of the condo's market value, a rougher approximation often used as a starting point before a detailed estimate.
