Building Insurance Claims

Building Remediation Works

If you have suffered damage to your property from an insurable risk, leaving your premises in disrepair, you will likely be entitled to appoint your own Building Surveyor at the insurer’s cost to advise and oversee the works. We often act for the insured party working with the insurance company’s appointed loss adjuster to agree the extent of remediation required in the event of a claim for risk matters such as Flood or Fire.

We would survey the damage, providing all necessary reports to advise on the remediation works necessary, agree such works and costs with the loss adjuster and prepare a detailed specification, overseeing the works through to completion, often being appointed as a Contract Administrator on behalf of the insured party.

We have a wealth of experience diagnosing and agreeing remediation works resulting from Flood or Fire events as well as considerable experience of working with various loss adjusting firms which enables us to obtain a satisfactory outcome for our clients.

Our fee structure for Insurance work is normally charged on a time charged basis for the initial surveys with any consequential Contract Administration charged as a percentage of the works value. In most instances these fees can be recovered from the insurers.
