Frequently Asked Questions
What types of losses and properties does Compass specialize in?
We focus on large-loss commercial, multifamily, and specialty properties—including healthcare, hospitality, churches, schools, and municipalities. Our team frequently handles consulting and reconstruction for large condominium complexes and HOA communities impacted by storm damage.
What’s the difference between Compass and other building consulting firms?
We’re a Licensed General Contractor first which means we have real-time cost data that makes our estimating and consulting work even more accurate and reliable; especially compared to other companies in our space. Our expert consultants scope, price, and build with real-world accuracy and full accountability. Every estimate we write as part of a consult has been reviewed and backed by our construction division. Meaning, it's an executable estimate that we can build for that cost and we have the ability to take a loss from consult to full rebuild - or perform work at any phase in between.
Do you work directly with insurance carriers or the policyholder?
Both. We’re often retained by carriers as building consultants, but we also work directly with property owners, adjusters, third-party administrators, and attorneys.
How fast can you mobilize for large-loss or emergency events?
We can deploy emergency services within hours and mobilize 100+ skilled trades within 48 hours for large CAT or multi-building events.
Do you provide building code research and compliance support?
Absolutely. Our construction division performs code reviews on every file and verifies with local officials to avoid delays and unnecessary scope inflation.
What is Compass’ turnaround time and accuracy for ROM estimates?
We typically deliver ROM estimates within 24–72 hours, depending on project complexity and available documentation. Our ROMs are informed by real-time data, historical benchmarks, and GC-validated pricing. In most cases, our final scopes fall within 5–10% of the original ROM—far exceeding industry norms, where variances of 20% are common. This allows carriers and clients to make early decisions with greater confidence and fewer surprises.
