Building Consultant

A building consultant provides expert assessment of property damage, determines the full scope of necessary repairs, prepares detailed documentation for insurance claims, and represents the property owner's interests throughout the claims process. We ensure no damage is overlooked and that repair estimates reflect true restoration costs.

Hire a building consultant immediately after significant property damage, before accepting any insurance settlement. Early involvement ensures proper documentation, prevents missed damage, and strengthens your claim. We're particularly valuable for large loss claims ($250K+), disputed claims, or complex commercial properties.

Building consultants focus on construction expertise—assessing damage, determining repair methods, and estimating costs. Public adjusters focus on policy interpretation and claim negotiation. FCS provides both construction expertise and claims management, offering comprehensive representation without the typical public adjuster percentage fees.

Yes, we work directly with insurance adjusters, engineers, and carriers. However, our client is always the property owner. We provide professional documentation and communication that facilitates fair claim resolution while protecting your interests.

We assess all types of property damage including fire, water, wind, hurricane, hail, flood, mold, structural damage, and more. Our in-house engineer evaluates structural concerns, while our estimators document all damage with Xactimate-certified estimates.

Absolutely. We frequently help property owners whose claims were denied or underpaid. Our detailed assessments often reveal damage the original adjuster missed, and our professional documentation supports appeals, appraisals, or litigation if necessary.
