Claims Management Our project managers have the unique experience perspective of being involved in both the consulting and
contracting areas of the environmental field. By working on both sides of the proverbial fence our team
members have the experience to review contractor and supplier invoices for consistency with applicable
contracts and usual and customary charges.
Our budget monitoring- services are tailored for longer-term projects, and include a regular review of
up-to-date project expenses with comparisons of project completion vs. budget expenditure. Close budget
monitoring allows the flagging of potential budget issues before they happen, helping reduce financial
surprises.
Project Forecasting
Experience allows us to take a long term "What If" approach to each claim. This "project forecasting" occurs
throughout the duration of the project to help manage unknowns and allows us to shed light onto so called
unforeseen factors that can both delay a project as well as increase the project cost. Our evaluation starts
with face to face meetings with the insured/property owner to help manage their expectations of the project
and to assist the carrier with any issues that we feel might arise from the insured. These meetings can lead
to thorough structural assessment of the dwelling and obtaining past home inspection reports which helps to
provide a current snap shot of the condition of the property and structure. Thorough photo and video
documentation of the property and work area are recorded to document the condition of the property. A
physical evaluation of the foundation, by excavating a section of the foundation of the dwelling can be
performed by a structural engineer to confirm the depth and construction of foundations, which avoids
changes in structural supports planning and helps control costs by avoiding surprises
We offer the ability to continue to evaluate the progress of the remedial excavation on a day to day or
weekly basis taking into account newly exposed utilities and ensuring that practical controls are in place
to prevent rain runoff from entering the work area and to avoid other weather related conditions that could adversely affect the progress of the project.
