NEVER BE WITHOUT GREAT APPRAISERS
BKI clients have the best prepared, best organized,
and best argued claims. BKI Appraisal Teams are extremely skilled and qualified to manage any loss and any insurance
loss appraisal. BKI expanded its services to include insurance loss appraisal in 2004 following the devastating
hurricane season. Since 2004, we have managed in excess of $200,000,000.00 of claims. We are currently managing
active appraisals in excess of $100,000,000.00.
BKI has several teams of highly trained
estimators and self-perform project managers trained in the Art of Appraisal. Additionally, each client receives
the benefit or our Construction Legal Team that reviews all insurance contracts for multiple coverage issues. Our
Appraisal Teams hold licenses and certifications in the following:
- Licensed General Contractor
- Independent Adjuster
- Certified Defective
Drywall Remediator, Consultant and Trainer |
- Building Envelope Specialist
- Excel Spreadsheet and
- Xactimate |
| BKI's approach to managing insurance claims is
unique. We manage the contractor and the loss. We describe success for our clients as paying a reasonable price
for the damage actually caused by a covered loss. We understand that this is achievable only when the loss is handled
like a construction project. In the same way that we would not allow a contractor free access to write change orders,
BKI does not allow the insured's contractor the freedom to submit supplemental claims at their whim. Our company
has implemented this philosophy into our appraisals and achieved great results for our clients. |
The founders of this construction
company are lawyers. This legal influence is useful for appraisal and we approach appraisal as though it were a
trial. As we proceed through claim management, we build a file critical to the support of our position. Should
the claim go to appraisal the Umpire will have a detailed, well organized binder. Additionally, our appraisers
diplomatically explain to the Umpire, the limits of the insurance policy, the evidence, FS§718 limits, and
the limits of appraisal relative to coverage versus causation. Finally, BKI provides a detailed appraisal award
to insure all items are included in the scope of the appraisal. This precludes supplemental claims following the
appraisal.
BKI is centrally located in Vero Beach, Florida, three hours from Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, Orlando and Gainesville.
Our company works for a variety of clients including insurance companies and law firms.
