CAR / EAR & Builder’s Risk

Our team of professional Quantity Surveyors, Cost Consultants and Practicing Engineers accurately measure and value reinstatement/repair costs following property damage, with a proactive and transparent approach in delivering cost certainty.

Our team includes RICS accredited and chartered civil, structural, building services, geotechnical and commissioning engineers with a wealth of experience in project management, cost consultancy, contract negotiation and providing independent expert opinion.

We undertake a comprehensive review of project records and, where required, have the technical capability to assist in determining the most effective repair strategy/scope. 

Projects

CCi have worked on hundreds of projects worldwide. With specialist teams in time, cost and technical, and a broad range of industry experience, we bring clarity to the most complex of situations.

Manufacturing / Heavy Industry

Following a large explosion and subsequent fire at a chemical manufacturing plant CCi was appointed by insurers to assess the duration of repairs required to restore the plant to its pre-loss production capacity. CCi’s analysis identified a number of additional construction activities in the rebuild timeline that were not required to repair the property to the condition it was in prior to the loss and amounted to an improved design of the plant.

LNG Plant

Location: USA

A named windstorm caused widespread damage to the construction of an LNG plant. Significant damage was caused to pipe that had been prefabricated and was waiting to be installed at the facility. CCi carried out an analysis of the delays incurred to the project prior to the storm and identified pre-storm delay that had not been accounted for in the forecast Commercial Operation Date (COD). In addition, CCi identified delays to the fabrication and installation of structural steel that meant the delay caused to the COD by having to replace pipe was much less than originally claimed by the Insured.

61MW Onshore Wind Farm

Location: UK

The Super Grid Transformer suffered delay during transit which led to critical delays to the phased handover of the plant. CCi was appointed as the delay expert to help quantify the extent to which the project had suffered delay to its commercial operation date as a result of damage. Working with very limited available information, CCi worked collaboratively and flexibly with the insured to establish the overall project status and achieve a successful settlement of the claim.
