What is the role and where can you add value?

Geotechnical Report Reviews/Approvals for High Risk Area Enrollments

One requirement for the enrollment of structures built in designated high risk areas is the submission of a soils report. The reports are reviewed to determine the risk level associated with the site, what additional requirements for enrollment may be warranted, and to check that the foundation type recommended in the soils report is what the builder has informed us that he constructed. Risk Management Engineer may also review and write a synopsis of soils reports submitted by builders who are seeking Risk Management's opinion as to the risk involved in building on a particular site.

Review Various Construction/Post Construction Inspections Submitted for Approval

Review inspections such as Final Inspections to determine if any deficiencies identified in the report will need to be corrected prior to the structure being enrolled in our program. The builder may be asked to provide more information or a re-inspection based on the content of the reports. On a case-by-case basis, determine if various risk management requirements are met.

Claim Investigations

As needed assist claim representatives in the inspection of residential properties with reported distress.
