In order for the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) to be able to calculate the impact of earthquakes it is necessary for it to be able to assess the building replacement cost at the level of individual buildings. This document outlines the methodology proposed by Geoscience Australia to determine the replacement cost for buildings. The methodology proposes a method for determining the rate (measured in currency per unit floor area) to reconstruct a building with given characteristics. The reconstruction cost is determined by multiplying the rate by the floor area. The methodology discusses the various factors that affect the rate and suggests sources where data on rates may be found.

Development of GIS tools for transforming detailed 3D building geometry into blast model input files
A conference paper describing GIS tools developed in support of the blast loss estimation capability for the Australian Reinsurance Pool Corporation. The paper focus is on GIS tools developed for: exposure database construction and integration of a number of datasets including 3D building geometry
