Contractor bids submitted to insurers are not always the same as what work actually costs on a fair, competitive market. Bids may reflect emergency pricing, scope assumptions, relationships between the property owner and contractor, or post-catastrophe market conditions. An independent cost estimate from a qualified building consultant provides an objective basis for evaluating whether claimed costs are reasonable and necessary.
This applies across all phases of post-damage construction – mitigation, remediation, and repairs. Each phase has its own pricing standards, labor requirements, and industry guidelines that must be considered when creating cost estimates.
Haag’s cost estimates are prepared by consultants with direct construction experience who understand current market pricing, regional labor rate variation, material costs, and trade sequencing.
