I am a construction estimator and xactimate insurance loss estimator. I create profitable, accurate and detailed estimates for residential and commercial contractors, public adjusters and attorneys. I am also a CAD/Chief Architect, Lumion and D5 architectural drafter and render artist. I assist large corporations, architects, interior designers and developers in creating beautiful interior and exterior design renderings, plans and elevations to present to their clients or issue for permit. I have experience creating construction take-offs or client focused estimates for: Commercial and residential; Excavation Foundation Framing/Block/CMU/Structural Panel wall construction Rough in Electrical Finish electrical with fixture allotments Rough in Plumbing Finish plumbing with fixture allotments HVAC Structural steel or microlam install Insulation Septic Systems Finish Drywall/Panels/plaster/Venetian plaster/ paint Finish flooring tile/wood/carpet/concrete/pavers/steel and wood plank decking Cabinet creation/resell/install Moldings and finish items. I am also an expert level xactimate specialist proficient in writing xactimate estimates for damage caused by water, fire, wind, flood, tornados or hurricanes. I draft water mitigation estimates specific to loss and CAT code, mold remediation based off of assessor protocols. I also draft pack outs, asbestos abatement, structural cleaning and structural repair xactimate reports for the residential and commercial industry. I write for public adjusters, restoration contractors and attorneys. I am well versed with most managed repair programs like CCC, Alacrity, Nexxus, SM Corp, Servpro Corp, PD Corp and can also write with carrier requirements such as State Farm, Allstate, USAA, AIG, CHUBB and AM Family/homesite. I offer additional services in which I can manage your full schedule of work flow from estimates, contracts, disclosures, subcontractor and labor management to the design renderings and customer material selections and budget reports. In reference to the design renders I offer, I am a draftsman and render artist specializing in Chief Architect 16 (full CAD REVIT capacity), Sketchup, Blender 3.64, Lumion 12.5 and Photoshop. I am well versed with IBC and ICC standards and local building codes (once you tell me what state and county your build is located in) I draft; Elevations Residential Floorpans Commercial Floorplans DRO/SRO shelter housing space plans Site plans (if you have the survey I can add point elevations on the site plan) Eminent domain site plan conversions HVAC plans Electrical Plans Framing plans (if using truss your manufacturer can provide me with the .dwg file of their stamped drawings) Structural Steel Plans Foundation plans Finish fixture and material plans Cabinet legends Custom CAD blocks for structural framing and concrete, I have also created custom CAD blocks for wells and septic. Window and door legends (dimensions only unless you have a benchmark brand in mind) Chief architect renders Lumion retextured renders Photoshop post production Lumion 30 second video walk throughs (4-8 hour render process times per 30 seconds of finished clip) I support large corporations, developers, architects, interior designers and contractors in creating beautiful interior and exterior design renderings, plans and elevations to present to their clients.   I can create virtually any rendering or elevation desired. For example:   - All interior residential renderings floorplans and elevations such as Kitchen and Bathroom renderings, including cabinetry schedules and plumbing fixture placement elevations   - Commercial large offices, retail spaces, warehouse factories, restaurants, stadiums, concert halls, and hotels   - Exterior commercial and residential renders I have earned all my 5 star reviews on my upwork profile that illustrate my skill set and perhaps more importantly, my work ethic and reliability.   My general strategy is to build your design in Chief Architect/sketchup/blender. This is where I can draft your general model, floorplan, elevations, legends, framing, hvac, MEP plans and, if you would like a more photorealistic render with video walkthrough options I can retexture the model in Lumion. If you want specific fixtures or furniture I can model those in blender to bring into the render as well. I pride myself in having one of the fastest turnaround times - if I have all the necessary information available:   - Floor plans and/or a matterport   - Design color schematics/moodboard   - Materials choice Please take a look at all my 5 star reviews here so you can see I am a reliable and skilled candidate.

I provide forensic estimating, appraisal support, and property loss inspection services for both residential and commercial property losses, backed by real-world construction, restoration, and claims experience. I am a Florida-licensed Independent Adjuster with a background that combines insurance adjusting, restoration contracting, construction, field inspections, and damage documentation. My work is best suited for assignments that require more than basic line-item writing — especially when accurate scope recognition, practical repair logic, and defensible estimating matter. Services are strictly limited to independent evaluation, forensic estimating, and appraisal-based analysis. I do not provide claim negotiation, advocacy, or carrier-facing strategy services. My role is to evaluate damage, scope, and estimate logic based on documentation and field conditions — not to advance or repackage an existing claim position. Engagements are structured around independent analysis, not negotiation. I work with Xactimate, Symbility, CCC One, Audatex, and AdjustRite, and I understand the difference between simply producing estimates and building estimates that reflect real job conditions, real damage patterns, and real repair methodology. Property Experience On the property side, I bring hands-on experience in: * Water damage and structural drying * Mold remediation (IICRC-aligned) * Fire, smoke, and odor damage * Demolition, pack-out, and contents handling * Reconstruction estimating and repair sequencing * Insurance-driven restoration workflows My experience spans both residential and commercial properties, including complex losses where access, sequencing, code requirements, and multi-trade coordination directly impact scope and estimate development. I also hold NFIP certification and Windstorm Appraiser/Umpire training, which strengthen my ability to review disputed scope, estimate support, and complex loss conditions from an appraisal-level perspective. Auto & Equipment Experience On the auto side, I have vehicle damage appraisal and estimating experience supported by Automotive Paint & Body training, along with practical experience involving vehicles, boats, and gas, diesel, and small-engine systems. Important Engagement Notes * Work is performed based on materials provided. Missing or incomplete documentation (including policy forms, pricing data, inspections, etc.) may impact findings and conclusions * Timeline is confirmed after initial file review * Services focus on scope accuracy, documentation, and valuation — not negotiation or claim handling I bring over 22 years of construction-related experience and a practical understanding of how damages occur, how repairs are performed, and how estimates should be built to withstand scrutiny. My approach is structured, professional, and grounded in field reality — not template-only estimating. If your project requires independent judgment, disciplined analysis, and defensible estimating support, I provide services built on real-world industry depth.
