Insurance Repair Assessment

A free first visit to understand the issue and discuss the right next step.

Need a builder to take an initial look at visible property damage? We'll review accessible areas, discuss the circumstances and determine whether Brownlow may be able to assist with repair work.

What the free initial assessment includes

  • A brief on-site visual review of accessible areas related to your enquiry
  • A chance to explain the issue and share relevant photos or existing reports
  • An initial discussion about whether the work is a fit for Brownlow Building
  • Initial guidance on potential repair next steps. This is not an insurer determination, causation opinion or formal expert report.
  • Guidance on likely next steps, including whether an engineer, specialist investigation, formal inspection or approvals may be needed

What it doesn't include

This is an initial visual assessment of accessible areas only. It does not include thermal imaging or moisture testing, invasive investigation, a written report, formal defect inspection, causation opinion, detailed scope of works or fixed-price quotation. If more detailed work is needed, we'll explain the recommended service and costs before proceeding.
