Special Projects was a new department created to handle any damages incurred to our properties by the following: Vandalism, floods created either by plumbing, or mechanical failures, properties damaged by fires, properties damaged by car accidents, foundation repairs, and mold projects. Responsibility was to make all necessary repairs to CP damaged properties. Responsible for delivering any CP damaged property back to marketing/leasable and rent ready standards.

In the past, I estimated costs for projects and submitted a bid proposal/estimated cost of repairs to insurance companies for reimbursement and payment. Presently we hire a public adjuster to provide an Xactimate Estimate for Repairs which increases our request for reimbursement for property damages. Record and track of all expenses and information for each project and calculate profit margin. Handle mold cases at times since they can become legal issues.
