SCStorms Consultants

Services

Consulting services for damaged property and reconstruction.

Each service is oriented to construction reality: what exists, what was damaged, and what work is reasonably required to restore the property correctly. Offerings include consulting and insurance appraisal. Storms Consultants is not a law firm.

01

Property Damage Consulting

Storms Consultants evaluates physical damage conditions across building assemblies and finishes. Work centers on what exists on site, how damage presents, and how those conditions relate to construction methods, materials, and reconstruction requirements—not on advocacy framing or claim outcome promises.

  • Residential and commercial property evaluation
  • Multi-trade damage condition review
  • Clear, construction-focused reporting

02

Insurance Appraisal

Storms Consultants provides insurance appraisal services connected to residential and commercial property losses. Work is grounded in field conditions, construction assemblies, repairability, and estimating discipline so appraisal positions remain tied to the property rather than abstract claim framing. Engagement terms are defined in writing for each matter.

  • Property-loss appraisal participation
  • Construction-informed scope and cost analysis
  • Documentation suitable for appraisal proceedings

03

Construction Scope Development

Scope development translates observed conditions into organized work items: demolition and protection, repairs, replacements, finishes, and related trade requirements. The goal is a scope that reflects the building, the damage, and the work reasonably required to complete reconstruction correctly.

  • Trade-organized scope structures
  • Quantity and unit logic support
  • Alignment with field documentation

04

Estimate Review

Estimate review examines line items, quantities, assembly assumptions, sequencing, and omissions. Storms Consultants approaches estimating as a construction documentation discipline—supporting clarity around what work is included, what is missing, and what assumptions drive cost.

  • Quantity and assembly verification
  • Scope gap identification
  • Estimate reconciliation support

05

Repairability Analysis

Repairability analysis considers material condition, matching limitations, fastening and underlayment systems, manufacturer guidance, and practical construction constraints. Findings are documented so stakeholders can evaluate repair versus replacement on technical grounds.

  • Roofing and exterior assemblies
  • Interior finishes and components
  • Manufacturer and method considerations

06

Roofing & Exterior Consulting

Roofing and exterior consulting addresses covering systems, underlayments, flashings, ventilation interfaces, cladding, trim, and related envelope details. Documentation emphasizes how water management, fastening patterns, and transition details affect repair strategy.

  • Steep- and low-slope systems
  • Flashing and transition details
  • Cladding and exterior finishes

07

Interior Damage Consulting

Interior consulting reviews ceilings, walls, flooring, cabinetry, insulation, and related finishes in context of the loss mechanism and building construction. The emphasis is on documenting affected materials and the work required to restore appropriate pre-loss condition.

  • Finish system evaluation
  • Secondary damage pathways
  • Reconstruction sequencing considerations

08

Building Code Research

Building code research supports reconstruction planning by identifying relevant requirements that may affect repair methods, materials, and permitting. Findings are presented as research documentation—not as code official determinations or legal opinions.

  • Applicable requirement research
  • Repair method implications
  • Permitting consideration notes

09

Manufacturer Documentation

Manufacturer documentation work collects and organizes product literature, installation instructions, and repair guidance that may affect how damaged systems are restored. This supports technically grounded decisions about matching, fastening, underlayment, and system compatibility.

  • Installation instruction review
  • System compatibility considerations
  • Documentation packages for stakeholders

10

Large & Complex Loss Consulting

Large and complex losses often involve interconnected assemblies, phased reconstruction, and dense documentation needs. Storms Consultants supports these matters with organized field investigation, multi-trade scope clarity, and construction-focused analysis designed for sophisticated project conditions.

  • Multi-building and multi-trade losses
  • Disputed or incomplete scope support
  • Structured documentation for complex files

11

Reconstruction Consulting

Reconstruction consulting examines means and methods, sequencing, access, protection, and the practical work required to complete repairs correctly. The focus remains on construction reality—what must be disturbed, what can be salvaged, and what work is reasonably necessary.

  • Means and methods evaluation
  • Sequencing and access considerations
  • Pre-loss condition alignment

12

Site Documentation

Site documentation captures field conditions with photographic records, measurements, diagrams, and, where appropriate, 3D documentation. The objective is a durable record that supports later analysis, estimating, and reconstruction planning.

  • Photographic and diagrammatic records
  • Digital measurements
  • 3D property documentation capability

13

Material Testing Coordination

When material identity, composition, or performance questions matter to repair decisions, Storms Consultants can coordinate with appropriate testing resources. Coordination supports documentation; laboratory findings remain those of the testing provider.

  • Testing need identification
  • Sample and chain-of-custody coordination
  • Integration of results into project documentation
