Insurance Claims
When a claim arises Insurance Companies are often keen to use their own contractors to get the work done. Not all clients may prefer this as the quality of the products and services may differ, so they prefer to take the payout and use their own contractor, mostly adding personal funds in the process to upgrade their property at the same time, especially if its owner occupied and high-end finishes is needed.
During this process of deciding to be paid out, or to have the work done by the insurances’ contractors, it often becomes necessary to get a second or even third estimate. We can provide a detailed comparison so you can compare apples with apples.
As we are qualified quantity estimators/surveyors we do need to charge a fee for the hours spend to quantify your comparison estimate, but this will give you the clarity you need!
The pricing would differ from project to project, based on complexity and size and could cost you between $250-usually $1500. Building your project on a good basis by obtaining such an estimate, will in fact mean savings for you during the project. (Ask us about this process when we meet). Should it happen that you decide to proceed with the Insurances’ contractors, you could also request from your insurance to pay our Invoice as part of the claim’s expenses, which they sometimes will consider if requested before the payout/once their offer is on the table.
If you do decide to take a payout, we can manage the process further for you during the build phase, by dealing with your insurance further. We have the experience to manage this efficiently, so if your life is already busy, call us to assist you in this process.
Maintenance and Repairs
Proper maintenance to your property ensures your property will serve you well in return. We excel at handling tricky repairs, with a problem-solving approach, however we are not always able to assist, as we mostly use maintenance and repair works as filler work between our larger renovation and building projects, last mentioned being our specialising fields of work.
Feel free however to enquire if we have open slots and if we do, we’d be happy to assist. We collaborate with a few other service providers we trust and can supply referrals in busy times for works we can’t do due to time constraints, so we will still help you. This will ensure you remain carefree, while living in your property or renting it out.
Property/Facilities Managers
With the experienced eye of an in-house Property Manager, we are well equipped to assist Property and Facility Managers, etc. with larger home/building repairs, maintenance projects, as well as tenanted renovations.
We understand that working on a tenanted property differs significantly from working on an owner-occupied home. If you are a property or facilities manager requiring assistance with larger renovation projects or maintenance repairs, feel free to contact us.
