How we work with insurers
High volume, fixed turnaround and paperwork that matches the claim. Our staff include assessors who have worked inside major Australian insurers.
After the 2008 Blacktown storms we delivered 170 major housing repairs, on time and to the insurer's satisfaction. That is the volume this part of the business is built for.

The company has handled high volumes of repeat work for long-standing insurance clients, including more than 170 housing repairs following the 2008 Blacktown storms, and home building compensation certificates on the public register show insurance-driven residential work as far afield as Tamworth, Narrabri and Gravesend in 2016.

Questions about insurance work
How fast can you make a damaged property safe?
The on-call team answers around the clock and attends make-safe the same day in the Sydney metropolitan area. Make-safe covers tarping, propping, boarding, isolating water and power where needed, and photographing the damage for the claim before anything is moved.
Do you work directly with insurers?
Yes. We prepare scopes and photographs in the insurer's format, quote fixed against the approved scope, and raise variations before proceeding rather than after. Several of our staff have worked as assessors inside major Australian insurers.
Can I choose my own builder for an insurance repair?
In most cases yes. Policies differ, so check your product disclosure statement or ask your insurer. If you want us to quote alongside the insurer's panel builder, we can prepare a scope in the same format so the comparison is like for like.
