About Rapid-Calc
Rapid-Calc, Castle's replacement cost estimator, is a web based application developed exclusively by Castle Data Services. Rapid-Calc utilizes Castle's proprietary replacement cost data to produce the most accurate valuations available. Since 1993 underwriters and agents have used Rapid-Calc to find the replacement cost of a property.

How does it work?
Since Rapid-Calc is fully integrated into the RiskMeter Online, getting a geographic risk report and replacement cost of a property is easy! All you have to do is type in an address, click on the geographic risk report(s) that you need, and then select residential replacement cost.

Once you receive your geographic risk report, there will be a link under the residential replacement cost header. If you click on this link, it will take you directly to the Rapid-Calc Web site, with your address information downloaded. Your next step will be to answer some questions about the policy in question, and then Rapid-Calc will give you a detailed replacement cost report. Once you're done, click on the return to RiskMeter link, and you'll be back at the search by address page.
