What We Review
We Build the Case for What’s Actually Covered.
Every property, policy, and loss is different. Our review focuses on the documents, costs, coverage, and facts that affect recovery.
Policy Language & Coverage
We analyze the policy word for word to identify applicable coverage and recovery paths.
Scope & Causation
We document the full extent of damage and establish cause, timing, and repair connection.
Valuation & Pricing
We test pricing, depreciation, escalation, labor, market rates, and cost-estimating assumptions.
Code & Ordinance
We look for required upgrades and compliance costs that may be overlooked or minimized.
Extras & Business Interruption
We pursue covered categories that affect the owner’s real recovery, including time-sensitive impacts.
Project Documents
We connect estimates, plans, expert reports, communications, and repair sequencing to the claim.
Representative Results
Real disputes. Real property economics.
Representative matters only. Every case depends on its own facts, evidence, timing, coverage, contracts, and applicable law. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
$7M
Multifamily project dispute
Unapproved change orders, defective work, delay, and lost rental income were all in play.
$6M
Apartment-building loss
Structural instability, foundation reconstruction, stabilization, collateral repairs, and rent loss.
Millions
Recovered for property owners
Through trial, arbitration, and settlement in serious owner-side property disputes.
