Navigating this process can be overwhelming, but with the right team by your side, it can be smooth and stress-free. Build Crew specializes in handling insurance repairs and rebuilds, guiding you through every step, from filing your claim to completing the repairs.
In this article, we’ll break down the entire process, highlighting how Build Crew ensures efficient and reliable outcomes for every homeowner.
Assessing the Damage and Filing an Insurance Claim
The first step in addressing any damage to your home or property is to assess the situation. Whether it’s minor damage from a storm or significant structural harm from a fire or flood, understanding the extent of the damage is critical.
Key Steps:
Initial Inspection: After the damage has occurred, the first step is an on-site inspection to assess the severity and type of repairs needed. This can be conducted by your insurance adjuster or an independent contractor like Build Crew.
Contacting Your Insurer: Once the damage is documented, the next step is to contact your insurance company to begin the claims process. It’s important to provide detailed information and images of the damage to help the insurer process your claim quickly.
Claim Submission: Submit all necessary documents and forms to your insurance provider. Depending on your policy, they will evaluate the claim and determine the coverage available for the repairs.
Insurance Approval and Scope of Work
Once your claim is lodged, your insurance company will review it and approve the necessary repairs or rebuilds. During this phase, the insurer may send an assessor to your property to determine the extent of the coverage and verify the damage.

Accurate Cost Estimation: Our team provides accurate and comprehensive estimates, so you know what to expect in terms of costs and timelines.
Planning the Repair or Rebuild
Once your claim is approved and the scope of work has been agreed upon, the planning phase begins. This involves coordinating with professionals such as contractors, plumbers, electricians, and other skilled trades to execute the repair or rebuild.
Build Crew’s Role:
Project Management: Build Crew handles all aspects of project management, from organizing trades to setting timelines. We ensure that every phase of the project is handled efficiently, minimizing disruption to your daily life.
NDIS and Insurance Compliance: If your insurance repairs overlap with NDIS requirements, Build Crew has the experience to ensure compliance with all relevant standards, ensuring a seamless process for all types of repairs.
Executing the Repair or Rebuild
This is the stage where the actual work begins. Depending on the type and extent of the damage, repairs can range from minor touch-ups to full-scale rebuilds. At this point, it’s crucial to have experienced professionals working on your property to ensure high-quality results.
Typical Insurance Repairs Include:

Inspection and Final Approval
Once the repairs or rebuilds are completed, a final inspection will be conducted to ensure everything meets your insurance company’s standards. This step is crucial for ensuring that all work is done according to plan and that there are no hidden issues.
Build Crew’s Inspection Process:
Detailed Inspections: We perform thorough inspections to ensure that every aspect of the repair or rebuild meets safety and quality standards.
