Building consulting

Our in-house consultants, engineers and quantity surveyors have experience working with architects, building contractors and fire investigators. We also offer the flexibility to work with our own panel or the client’s preferred experts. Our team provides trusted, accurate replacement cost estimates, and serves as an independent resource during the investigation and rebuild phase.  

We work with builders on our clients’ behalf to eliminate waste and improve efficiency and profitability. Our qualified experts are trained in assessing each case on its individual merits, enabling them to truly understand each client’s unique needs.  

For a customer who is experiencing the trauma and disruption caused by a flooded or burnt property, technical excellence is important — but it’s not everything. In addition to their technical know-how, Sedgwick’s experts have highly developed communication and problem-solving skills. This combination allows us to balance the priorities of each party involved based on our in-depth knowledge of the building’s structure and the claims handling process. We provide reassurance, control and constant communication to all involved so they have confidence in our strategy to restore their property quickly and effectively. 

Ensuring clear, timely communication between all parties is a critical part of every project. Working as a team means we can provide the support needed to manage each loss effectively for our clients.
