What is large-loss restoration?
Large-loss restoration is the recovery of commercial or high-value residential property after a major fire, water, smoke, or contamination event, projects too large or complex for a typical restoration crew. It combines emergency response, environmental remediation, estimating, insurance coordination, and reconstruction under one managed program.
What areas does BuildWise serve?
BuildWise is based in Houston, Texas and serves the greater Houston area, Texas, and the Gulf Coast, and mobilizes for large-loss projects nationally.
Does BuildWise work directly with insurance companies?
Yes. We produce Xactimate estimates and scopes that carriers recognize and coordinate directly with adjusters and consultants, including time-and-material billing and auditing, so claims move forward without scope disputes.
Is BuildWise a staffing agency?
No. BuildWise is a restoration partner that owns the project end to end, scope, schedule, budget, safety, and subcontractors, with a single point of accountability, not a supplier of temporary labor.
Does BuildWise handle asbestos and lead abatement?
Yes. We perform asbestos and lead abatement and other environmental remediation to regulatory standard, with containment, air monitoring, disposal documentation, and clearance before the next phase begins.
How quickly can BuildWise respond to a large loss?
BuildWise provides 24/7 emergency response and mobilizes rapidly to assess, stabilize, and document the loss, the first step in controlling cost and timeline.
Does BuildWise offer financing?
Yes. We offer flexible financing options so cash flow does not stall recovery while an insurance claim is being settled.
