The Situation

J.S. Held was retained to consult on the restoration of a 2,500 square-foot residential property that sustained significant fire and smoke damage. In collaboration with structural engineers from Pario Engineering, we played a pivotal role in establishing the scope of work required to return the property to its pre-loss condition.

How We Advised

Utilizing Xactimate, J.S. Held’s consultant meticulously prepared a comprehensive estimate for emergency services and demolition, ensuring that all necessary mitigation steps were promptly addressed. Coordination of structural assessments was crucial in verifying the integrity and safety of the property, and we ensured that these findings were fully incorporated into the restoration plan.

J.S. Held’s consultant conducted a detailed bid review process to compare contractor proposals, ensuring alignment with industry standards and cost efficiency. This involved scrutinizing each proposal to guarantee that all aspects of the restoration were covered and that costs were justified.
