Our approach

A disciplined path from field conditions to decisions.

Four connected stages keep analysis tied to the building—not to generic templates.

Inspect

Document the actual physical conditions across assemblies, elevations, and interiors.

Analyze

Evaluate construction assemblies, damage, repair requirements, codes, manufacturer requirements, and scope.

Document

Develop clear photographic, written, estimating, and technical support.

Resolve

Provide the information stakeholders need to make informed decisions concerning the property.

Built around the property

Analysis begins with the building—not the paperwork alone.

Storms Consultants approaches a loss from the actual building outward. The property establishes the facts; documentation and analysis follow from those facts.

What was damaged
How it was originally constructed
What must be disturbed during repair
What can actually be repaired
What manufacturers require
What applicable building requirements require
What work is reasonably necessary to complete the project correctly

Technology & documentation

Records built for technical review.

Documentation tools serve the investigation. The deliverable is clarity—measurements, images, diagrams, and research that hold up under scrutiny.

3D property documentation

Spatial records that preserve layout, extents, and context beyond still photography alone.

Digital measurements

Measured conditions that support quantities, diagrams, and estimating accuracy.

Detailed photographic documentation

Systematic photo sets organized for review, comparison, and long-term file clarity.

Estimating platforms

Construction estimating workflows used to structure scopes, quantities, and pricing logic.

Roof & exterior measurements

Elevation- and slope-aware measurement support for roofing and exterior assemblies.

Material identification

Field identification of coverings, finishes, and assemblies relevant to repair decisions.

Laboratory / testing coordination

Coordination with testing providers when material questions affect reconstruction.

Project documentation

Organized written, visual, and estimating records for complex project files.

Construction research

Manufacturer instructions, repair methods, and construction requirement research.

Who we work with

Stakeholders who need construction clarity.

Storms Consultants works with parties involved in documenting, scoping, and reconstructing damaged property. Engagement terms are defined in writing for each matter.

Property owners
Contractors
Restoration companies
Attorneys
Appraisers
Insurance carriers and stakeholders
Property managers
Commercial property stakeholders

Listing a stakeholder category does not imply representation, licensing, or a retainer relationship.

Complex losses

Complex losses require more than a quick inspection.

Reconstruction decisions can involve interconnected roofing, exterior, interior, mechanical, electrical, environmental, and building-envelope components. Storms Consultants provides construction-focused analysis designed to document those relationships clearly.
