A fire in one unit is a smoke loss in a dozen, a water loss in the units below and a building claim for the association or owner, with tenants displaced and the rest of the building still occupied. The scope, the documentation and the schedule are organized around that.

Multifamily fires mean smoke and water in units that never saw flame.

Many units, many policies

Smoke travels through corridors, chases and shared attics; suppression water goes down through the units below. Each affected unit, the common elements and the building systems are documented and scoped separately, so the master policy carrier, each unit owner's carrier and each renter's carrier can approve its own scope without arguing over whose drywall is in whose estimate.

Occupied buildings

Work happens around people living there: access scheduled through the manager, equipment out of egress paths, noise and hours managed, life-safety systems verified before anyone re-occupies.

Fire-rated assemblies

Rated walls, floors, ceilings and doors damaged by fire are rebuilt as rated assemblies to current code, which is typically a code-upgrade item on older buildings.

Managers and owners

A single point of contact, per-unit documentation, a written schedule and status reporting for the board or owner, and honest guidance on which claims go through the master policy versus unit policies.

On the claim

Each scope is billed to its carrier on covered work under the declaration's allocation; deductibles apply as the policies state.

FAQ

Questions homeowners ask us

Who pays for what in a condo fire?

The master policy covers the building elements the declaration assigns to the association; each owner's HO-6 covers their interior and contents; renters policies cover tenants' belongings; the master deductible may be assessed to the owners involved. Separate documentation per unit is what lets each carrier approve its own scope.

Can the rest of the building stay occupied?

Usually, with the affected units and common areas secured and life-safety systems verified. Work is scheduled around residents with access and egress managed.

Do you work with property managers?

Yes: a single point of contact, per-unit documentation, a schedule and status reporting the board or owner can use.
