No, as a customer (home owner) who needs repairs, the Assignment of Benefits (Claim) is a technique used by many constructors to abuse that position. You want a contractor to take control of the repair of their property at the whelms of the contractor. Contractors use this ploy to avoid performing an evaluation and cost of repairs to the homeowner. The clever contractor uses coercive conditions in the contract, with punitive controls to strong-arm the customer into things the customer doesn't really want. The penalty of 10%, 20%, 30%+ , to get out of the contract, is onerous and burdensome to the customer: especially, when the contractor hasn't given the customer a scope of work, or estimate. The contractor takes control of something that they should not be taking control of. It's NOT their property. This "deal" causes frustration and anger toward the contractor which lives long after the job is done toward ALL construction contractors. So, if you think that contractors need more animosity toward them for such practices, go ahead and advocate AOB's.

Great video! You seem like an excellent lawyer!

I think you should sell those shirts next year. Restoration United.

on the question of the improperly stored extension cord I noticed the orange one toward the center has a lot of small kinks in it and everything I've heard is that you should try to wind up extension cords very loosely so has not the damage the internal wires. also the red one towards the right has a tendril that is hanging much lower than everything else I'm not sure exactly how to explain this but you wouldn't want it to potentially tangle up with anything else and or get in the way. lastly one of the extension cords has a female end that is near the charging station and you wouldn't want somebody to accidentally use it thinking that is supplying power when it is not and then their battery does not get charged..

Love this

Bobby!

We at Richard Stone & Associates are looking forward to attending, stop by booth 217 and say hello. #gotinvoices

Hey Winners

Great Job , Nicole

I have been desperately trying to get a hold of Caroline. She handled a case for me a few years back-she was excellent. And I really want to speak with her about another case I have. If anyone has a contact number or email for her- please get it to me. She's awesome and I need her! Thanks

Xactimate has been stagnant in many of the daily costs of equipment, especially equipment that is used on nearly every water loss. Since 2015, dehumidifier daily pricing has increased roughly 9% with Xactimate. At the same time, retail costs for dehumidifiers have increased 100%. Nationwide rental rates on dehumidifiers have also increased 100% since 2015. Verisk states that pricing isn't based on either of these factors. If Verisk is basing pricing strictly on contractor feedback, they shouldn't be using pricing from the same contractors that are contractually obligated to Xactimate pricing, as a "preferred vendor". I suspect this is the main reason that Xactimate pricing has not been properly updated on these specific line items. It is an awful and inaccurate way to gather pricing and biased towards the carrier side of the industry.

Why he choose restoration 1 among other companies

Good interview Michelle and team. “Claims is not just the estimate”

I have included a youtube link to the exact moment that Corelogic (Xactimate) talked about how Artificial Intelligence will give you less or more claims in 2024 and beyond. This is a must watch kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frGVhpaXuNreaZ8.htmlsi=61vVtHmX-uTZsI8o&t=378

Great to see Ryan getting his book out there more!

8 computers & 10 screens!!!!!

Great video!

I really enjoyed this interview. With Canstar being a former founding member of the Canadian Disaster Restoration Group in 2004 I can attest to their leading role in Western Canada. They are always at the forefront of innovation and we call learn from this 30 min video. Thank you again Michele for your continued hard work.

So many gold nuggets in this video! I'm going to have to watch it again and take notes. Thank you so much!!

Keep the bloopers coming Chuck. 4-letter words are encouraged, it’s more realistic. 👍

Omg im the First person to comment yea

Very powerful tool !

This is so sleazy. If you've not been asked to come out you shouldn't be there.

At 03:55 you mention speedxdistance=time.. Restated as permeance x thickness is time to dry. .. Should it be thickness divided by permeance instead... Distance by speed is time.

Interested in this series but audio is not good. Very hard to hear and understand the guests. Host audio is great.

It’s always a struggle working with Accuserve. I submit line items to them and they get it completely wrong. I get back their estimate and all the measurements are not what I put and line items are missing. When i try calling them or send an email they don’t respond. I only get a response if I tell em I’m going to call the DOI for lack of good faith

Great Video 👍

Thanks for having me on!

I’m a project manager for CRS and I’m excited for what the future holds for us , with this merger . The environment and culture they have created here at CRS is amazing and none like I have ever seen or been apart of . 🎉
