I would like to expand on the role and responsibilities of a Technical Advisor in the context of fire cleanup and restoration. As a technical advisor, how can I leverage my acumen and erudition to provide invaluable guidance and support throughout the cleaning and restoration process?
Technical Advisors (TAs) are experienced professionals who help fire contractors during the loss process. They have extensive knowledge in assessments, investigations, and building science. TAs bridge gaps and ensure efficient restoration, benefiting contractors and insured parties.
Let me know if you’d like any further elaboration or additional details!
Both the Technical Advisors representing the insured and the contractors are equally competent. They possess the highest level of industry education and follow industry standards of care while actively contributing to them. These advisors have additional skills that enable them to formulate, accumulate, and strategize the steps required for the project to achieve the desired outcome.
Project Commissioners (P-Cx) have provided technical advisory services to contractors, insurers, and government organizations in the construction industry since the 1970s.
Building commissioning (Cx) manages cleaning and restoration projects. The technical advisor plans, designs, constructs, tests, and verifies building components to ensure they work together efficiently. The goal is to harmonize everything from assessment and investigation to documentation.
Commissioning a building project is a well-structured process involving several distinct phases and activities tailored to meet the specific requirements of cleaning and restoring a building environment and its loss. This process consists of a sequence of step-by-step functions to obtain project-specific benefits and documentation.
Evaluation after loss is crucial to see if the facility’s environment can continue to function as intended post-cleaning and restoration. Not a post-restoration evaluation (PRE or PRV) since those focus on the work done.
Instead, the post-loss assessment is a comprehensive investigation and evaluation of the facility’s physical infrastructure, systems, and components to ensure everything functions properly.
Facility owners and contractors can benefit from trained technical advisors who understand the assessment and investigation carried out by contractors.
This leads to harmonization between the contractors’ equipment and the facility property. One of the benefits of having such advisors is the ability to assess and investigate documentation, assist the contractor in their work, capture all necessary documentation, and give value to the analysis of the cleaned and restored project.
The documentation generated by P-Cx can be used to enhance project planning, including categorization, classification, condition, and level, which provides for the design and construction of appropriate environmental considerations, verification, and documentation necessary for that project.
However, it is essential to note that the Commissioner ensures the restoration work plan (RWP) and protocol design are carefully developed, and construction quality assurance and performance verification measurements are carried out holistically through commissioning.
