How Our Process Works
Step 1: Initial Consultation & Project Intake
To begin, contact SMR Engineering LLC by phone or through our online form. We gather preliminary information about the property, the type of damage, and the insurance context to provide comprehensive insurance claims support. This information helps us define the scope of the project and the required engineering services, including permit-ready engineering documents and structural damage assessments.
Step 2: Review, Coordination & Planning
Our team provides insurance claims support by reviewing the available information and coordinating with the insurance adjuster, restoration company, or contractor as needed. We confirm the scope of services, establish timelines, and schedule the site visit, ensuring that we also prepare permit-ready engineering documents and conduct structural damage assessments.
Step 3: On-Site Structural Evaluation & Damage Assessment
A licensed engineer conducts on-site structural damage assessments to evaluate both visible and concealed issues. We document our findings to support insurance claims and determine appropriate repair recommendations, ensuring compliance with code requirements and field conditions. Additionally, we provide permit-ready engineering documents based on our evaluations.
Step 4: Engineering Documentation, Permitting & Support
We prepare clear permit-ready engineering documents, including engineering reports, repair scopes, and calculations for structural damage assessments. These documents are submitted to the local jurisdiction, and we provide insurance claims support by assisting with plan check reviews and necessary revisions. Our team coordinates with all stakeholders throughout the permitting and reconstruction processes to help move the claim and repair process forward efficiently.
Damage Assessment & Repair
Our insurance and restoration engineering services include:
Our services include structural damage assessments and site evaluations to support insurance claims. We provide detailed engineering reports and letters for claim documentation, along with repair scope development and structural recommendations. Our team designs architectural and structural repair plans and prepares permit-ready engineering documents, including construction drawings. We also offer temporary shoring and stabilization recommendations, structural reinforcement, and retrofit design. Additionally, we conduct code compliance evaluations for damaged structures and coordinate with restoration teams and contractors to ensure seamless project execution. All deliverables are meticulously prepared with insurance review, permitting, and reconstruction in mind.
