COMPREHENSIVE SCOPE OF LOSS We use an incredibly detailed process to completely document a building’s scope of loss after a disaster:

Sketch the footprint and measure the perimeter

Sketch the interior floor plan

Number each room for organization

Photograph each room in detail and in order

Analyze every room in order — floors, ceiling, millwork, etc.

When finished, we have a comprehensive scope of loss. We have an objective and complete picture of the loss — down to the last hinge.

After both you and the insured agree upon the scope of loss, the possibility of misunderstandings or an inflated scope of loss are reduced. And misunderstandings can be cleared up by reviewing the assessment.

GENERAL CONTRACTOR

OUR APPROACH SAVES MONEY. With more than 20 years experience as a general contractor, we are ready for anything, and have extensive experience responding to catastrophes and rebuilding churches and businesses. This experience has helped us develop and refine an approach that saves insurers money.

Here’s how we do it: 1

We get bids from every trade. Estimating software has become a large part of the adjuster’s tool belt, but we find that an old-fashioned bidding process is more cost-effective. We solicit bids from reputable subcontractors and suppliers.

We understand the unique requirements of disasters. Fire, flood, earthquake, tornado — each require a different approach and a different specialist. During our time in operation we’ve seen them all.

The GC3 project manager is always on-site. Our experienced project managers take ownership of each disaster. They are determined to keep the project moving. We listen. We keep the communication lines open to stakeholders so expectations are realistic and concerns are addressed.

THE RESULT? As a general contractor we will perform the work under our scope of loss. Plus, we track cost avoidance for every project we undertake, and we consistently complete projects 15 to 35 percent below claim file reconstruction estimates. Finally, our services help close your claim file ”on average” 90 days sooner.
