INSURANCE INDUSTRY SUPPORT
ALWAYS INNOVATING We work closely with our CORE studio to develop new technology that gives us better ways to serve our clients, such as simulation tools, forensic information modeling (FIM) and TT SmartMaps (an app that compiles project and GIS data from multiple sources into an interactive map that can be viewed on a phone, tablet or PC). We also develop flexible data-acquisition systems to collect, process and deliver in-situ, real-time information. Collaboration across the firm’s 10 practices enables us to draw on an unparalleled array of expertise, skills and tools to solve problems for a wide variety of industries.
WHAT WE DO Our staff encompasses many disciplines: architects; structural, civil, mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers; scientists; and acoustics and sustainability professionals. This breadth of expertise enables us to fully investigate damage to structures of all types and sizes to promote accurate and appropriate claim resolution and speedy recovery. PRE-LOSS SERVICES Analyzing and anticipating risks to buildings and other structures are central to pre-loss services. Based on our experience with post-loss events, we are uniquely qualified to assess, analyze and forecast the nature of risks that may affect the performance of buildings and other structures. Pre-loss studies enable building owners to better prepare for both natural and man-made events. • Multi-Hazard Risk Assessments • Probable Maximum Loss (PML) Studies • Resiliency Solutions
POST-LOSS SERVICES In the aftermath of a property loss – one caused by a natural or man-made catastrophe, or by other events that reduce function or value – our experts help clients evaluate damaged structures and plan remediation. Deploying multidisciplinary expertise, we analyze, document and report on the condition of diverse types of structures in the built environment. Whether the damage is minimal or extensive, we provide technically informed solutions to post-loss claims. • Building Code Evaluation • Cause & Origin Evaluation • Damage Investigation • Complex Claim Investigation
