Property insurance

Sum insured banding, catastrophe zone factors, and rebuild indexation.

Residential homes, landlord portfolios, commercial premises, and body corporate schemes. InsureOS handles complex location-based rating, statutory levies, and broker distribution on an auditable calculation platform.

Purpose-built for property portfolios. Integrated with your policy core.

01

Location and hazard rating

Rate properties against territorial authorities, flood risk overlays, seismic zones, and construction materials with sub-second lookup tables.

02

Statutory levy and tax calculations

Calculate regional fire service levies, broker commissions, and GST within the auditable calculation engine.

03

Underwriting referral controls

Flag high sum-insured buildings, heritage structures, unreinforced masonry, or flood-prone locations for manual review before bind.

Precision rating for residential and commercial structures

Property underwriting balances structural characteristics against geographical hazards. A modern reinforced-concrete warehouse in Christchurch requires fundamentally different rating logic from a multi-unit residential property in Wellington. Our automatic rating engine computes complex rate cards without manual spreadsheet conversions or custom database code.

Through flexible underwriting schemas, you can define sum-insured bandings, apply regional catastrophe loadings, and incorporate construction-type multipliers. Policy documents, including certificates of currency and schedules of cover, generate immediately using our automated document generation pipelines once terms are agreed.

Catastrophe & Peril Overlays

Match postal codes or regional territorial authorities against seismic hazard tiers, coastal inundation zones, and bushfire exposure matrices to calculate accurate risk premiums.

Construction & Occupancy

Differentiate timber framing, tilt-slab concrete, EPS panels, and historic brickwork. Adjust rates based on tenant occupancy profiles, industrial processes, and fire sprinkler systems.

Rebuild Indexation

Combat sum-insured underinsurance at annual policy renewal by automatically applying your building cost index factors, presenting updated renewal schedules to property owners.
