A Quiet Phase

The horror of a fire raging through your home, the chaos of water falling from your hotel lobby ceiling, in a split second, you are dropped into the moment. You must act fast.

Firefighters extinguish flames. Plumbers identify and shut off water leaks. Mitigation teams extract water and contain damaged materials. Eventually, they all complete their jobs and leave to help someone else. What happens next?

The Quiet Phase

After the noise and chaos of disaster, the pace of the rebuild process can feel quiet. But many things are happening behind the scenes.

What happens during the quiet phase?

a Restoration Specialist creates a repair scope that identifies the labor and material required to put your building back to pre-loss condition.

Communication with your insurance

The Summit project manager creates an estimate using the same software the insurance industry uses and communicates documentation to the insurance company so scope and cost can be agreed upon.

Communication with subcontractors and suppliers

Summit schedules specialty subcontractors, researches materials, and submits the final estimate to the insurance carrier for approval.

Communication with you

Your project manager communicates selections and scheduling. Once the scope and cost are agreed upon and funds are released, repairs can begin.

The quiet phase may last a few days or several weeks depending on the type and scale of the job. You should expect regular updates throughout the process.
