Does any home insurance provider still offer a sum-insured policy where you can enter rebuild costs rather than how many bedrooms, what type of property, what year it was built and them guess the square footage and rebuild cost?

I have a figure from the mortgage valuation surveyor for the rebuild cost and would like a quote based on this information that was calculated using square footage and type of build etc... rather than vague things like bedrooms.

    Is this for buildings cover? Just done a moneysupermarket.com quote. I asked the usual stuff about bedrooms, etc for contents and came up with a 'guesstimate' for rebuild costs, but did allow me to amend this up or down if I wasn't happy with it.
