Improved
efficiency and cost savings
Independent construction experts
With world-leading construction all risk (CAR) and engineering all risk (EAR) expertise, we can manage any repair that comes our way. Our consultants collaborate with architects, contractors and fire investigators to drive the best outcomes, and each project is assessed on its individual merits. This allows us to truly understand your company’s needs and make practical, independent recommendations designed to eliminate waste, boost efficiency and maximize profitability.
Complex site monitoring
Effectively managing construction projects requires expert planning and coordination. Our global building consultants, mitigation specialists and forensic accountants work together to deliver outstanding clerking services, track repair costs and ensure claim components are well organized. With detailed project oversight and comprehensive schedule management, our consulting team keeps our clients’ repairs on time and on budget.
Roof inspection services
Our roofing specialists collaborate with our building consultants to deliver the best possible experience and outcome for every project. As registered roof observers (RRO), our professionals have expertise in all types of roof diagnostics and can provide assessments, estimates, rough orders of magnitude (ROMs) and more. We can also review existing estimates from contractors to ensure proposed services for your business’s project are appropriate and fair.
Video drone technology
Accessing major loss sites can be dangerous and come with safety challenges. With the industry’s most advanced AI-powered drones and radio-controlled cars, we can safely enter hazardous areas to capture footage and validate loss information within just 24 hours of the incident. This footage is then turned into a 360-degree tour of the building so you can view the damage remotely, get your claim processed faster and quickly resolve any disputes.
Litigation support
When there’s a property dispute, our consulting team works with law firms, insurers and technical experts to deliver accurate forensic assessments and strategic litigation support. For over 40 years, we’ve been trusted to streamline preparation and manage costs for our clients’ most complex and high-profile cases. With integrated services and advanced technology, we can quickly provide insights to help drive favorable outcomes for any property litigation case.
