The Crucial Role of Building Surveyors in Insurance Claims

Building surveyors play a pivotal role in the insurance claim process. Here's how they can assist:


  • Accurate Damage Assessment: They provide a thorough and accurate assessment of the damage, ensuring that all issues are documented for the insurance company.
  • Expert Representation: Acting as a liaison between you and the insurance adjuster, surveyors ensure your claim is fairly represented and that you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
  • Technical Expertise: With an in-depth understanding of building structures and repairs, surveyors can dispute any underestimations made by the insurance company, advocating for your best interests.


Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Building Insurance Claim

  1. Immediate Documentation: As soon as possible after the damage occurs, document everything. This includes taking photographs and making notes about the damage.
  2. Contact Your Surveyor: Engaging a chartered building surveyor early can guide you through the initial steps and ensure you have the professional documentation needed for your claim.
  3. Notify Your Insurance Company: Inform your insurance provider about the incident and express your intention to file a claim. Your surveyor can help compile the necessary details to ensure your notification is comprehensive.
  4. Prepare for the Insurance Adjuster: Your insurance company will send an adjuster to evaluate the damage. Having your building surveyor present during this visit ensures that all damages are accurately assessed from a structural standpoint.
  5. Claim Submission: With the support of your building surveyor, submit your claim, including all required documentation and professional assessments.
