Through RCV/ACV Quantification and Auditing, we provide detailed analyses, while our customized Tendering Process offers tailored solutions for your needs.

RESERVE CALCULATIONS

We are here to help you in forecasting a reasonable cost associated with the mitigation and replacement costs of a structure composing the claims quantification value over a defined period.

​

Our detailed reports capture:

  • Emergency mitigation

  • Structural repairs

  • Professional fees

  • Code upgrades


A reasonable value is applied which outlines the value associated to both the emergency mitigation and structural rebuild.


Reserve calculations may require adjustments throughout the life cycle of the claim. Accuracy is required for successful claims quantification.

SITE OVERVIEW

We support you with a thorough and methodical assessment of a property and all structures on the specified site.


An in-depth review encompasses the foundation, superstructure, additions, garage, and surrounding backyard structures.


Our well documented, and easy to digest report provides all detailed information including:

  • Site location

  • Date of construction

  • Building description

  • Evaluation and analysis concerns which formulates an accurate estimate of repairs

RCV/ACV QUANTIFICATION

We are here to help answer the most common question at this stage - “what is the Replacement Cost Value vs Actual Cash Value of a claim”?


This requires our experience to be able to inspect a building and understand when the structure was built, as well as the interior and exterior building finishes, and provide the building measurements.


Leveraging our experience, we craft highly detailed documents that provide accurate values which define the method of repairs to be undertaken.
