Commentary:• Completion of under-cap claims (EQC: graph 8) is forecast for Dec 2014.
The repair work is behind schedule (see next graphs) but claim settlement is remaining on track as cash settlements increase.
• Completion of over-cap claims (private insurers and Southern Response: graph 9) is forecast for Dec 2016. Actual completions are falling behind insurers own forecast targets creating a significant risk that the end completion date will not be met. See following graphs also.

Construction cost inflation
Commentary:• Construction demand in Canterbury has increased prices, though this has been less apparent towards the end of 2013. • There is a risk that these increases are spilling over into other regions, although the New Zealand figure still remains below the pre
GFC level.
