The scope of the disaster for many homeowners is such that true costs and estimates cannot be determined without extensive investigation and research. Therefore, the contractor shows up at your door ready to offer suggestions and promises while considering the 10% commission he hopes to quickly earn after he walks away with your 30% down payment check. His presentation quickly translates into numb
ers on a scratch pad or whatever the newest and flashiest computer brag book to which he recently subscribed. INSIDE HINT – Virtually all named insurance carriers rely on the same software to calculate the value of their losses. They know exactly the maximum dollar they will pay for each loss. The job of the field adjuster, who visits your premises, is two-fold: gather information concerning your loss and place the carrier in a position to successfully convince you to accept less than they were prepared to pay. Bulava Builders LLC, a licensed and insured Louisiana general contractor accesses the same software used by those named carriers. Pricing for damage to individual structures, following a named disaster, except for a roof without structural damage, is virtually impossible to estimate with anything except an educated guess, at best. ACCURATE PRICING requires research. Bulava Builders LLC is so certain of its capabilities that we will undertake your project with absolutely no money down. You will owe nothing until onsite construction begins. In the interim we will survey your site, prepare professional estimates to convince your insurance carrier that your coverage needs to include our prepared scope of work for your stated coverages and that our, pricing is the realistic and acceptable norm. There are also the unconsidered little “extras” that go into professional site preparation; consulting, architectural, engineering, environmental and OSHA compliance, supply chain and qualified workers to name a few.
