TECHNICAL FOUNDATION

From Field Conditions to Defensible Estimates

A background in construction and restoration provides the technical foundation to understand how properties are assembled, how damage affects interconnected systems, and what is required to properly restore a structure.

That field knowledge is combined with extensive property-loss estimating experience to develop detailed scopes, estimates, supplements, variance analyses, contents documentation, and technical claim support across residential through large commercial losses.
