Licensed assessments, engineering, and forensic documentation that anchors your scope.
You do the work. Everest BCG documents what the work needs to be, and never competes for it. We provide contractors and restoration companies with independent documentation of the cause and extent of damage, giving your scope a defensible foundation that holds up with adjusters and owners. We never perform remediation, restoration, or repairs of any kind. That separation is the point: a scope carries more weight when it comes from a party with no stake in the job.

You do the work. Everest BCG documents what the work needs to be, and never competes for it. We are an independent forensic building consulting firm that partners with contractors and restoration companies across Florida, providing the neutral assessment and scope documentation that gives your project a defensible foundation. We inspect, test, and report on the cause and extent of damage, and we never perform remediation, restoration, or repairs of any kind. That separation is the point. When the scope comes from a party with no stake in the job, it holds up with adjusters, owners, and everyone else at the table.
Restoration and repair firms bring us in when a job needs more than a visual estimate behind it. A scope that an adjuster keeps pushing back on. A cause-of-loss question you are not licensed to answer. A structural concern that needs an engineer's stamp. In each case, independent documentation gives your crew a clear starting point and gives your position the weight that a self-performed estimate cannot carry on its own.
When you scope your own job, an adjuster can question it as self-interested, and you spend time defending the estimate instead of running the project. An independent assessment removes that friction. Everest BCG performs no remediation, restoration, or repairs, so the documentation we hand you is not a bid. It is a neutral, credentialed account of cause and extent that your crew can build from and that stands up when the scope is reviewed. You keep the work. We keep the objectivity.
Our team is led by a Ph.D. structural engineer and staffed by licensed inspectors and certified assessors. We treat a loss the way a forensic investigator treats a case: gather evidence, test where it matters, and reach conclusions supported by what we actually observed.
A scope moves faster when the documentation behind it is solid. Our reports lay out findings, methods, and conclusions clearly, with the labeled photos and technical detail that help a scope clear review and keep the project on schedule.
When a carrier pushes back on a self-performed estimate, independent documentation of cause and extent gives your scope a neutral foundation. Because the findings do not come from the firm doing the work, they are harder to dismiss as self-interested.
Some jobs turn on whether a structure was compromised, and that question belongs to a licensed engineer. Our Ph.D.-led team provides the structural documentation your project needs without you having to carry that credential in house.
When the origin or mechanism of damage is unclear or contested, an independent forensic assessment documents what the evidence shows. A neutral account of cause supports your scope and protects you from taking on work that a carrier later disputes.
Damage often reaches past the visible surface, into wall cavities, structural elements, and adjacent areas. We document the true extent so your scope captures the whole job up front rather than surfacing surprises mid-project.
On a large or complicated job, independent documentation across structural, moisture, and air quality conditions gives you a complete technical picture. That reduces change orders, callbacks, and disputes once the work is underway.
Restoration is repeat work, and a consistent assessment partner keeps your scopes defensible from one job to the next. Because we never bid against you, referring us carries no risk of losing the work you brought to the table.
Forensic evaluation of water intrusion and flood damage that establishes cause, scope, and the moisture conditions behind the walls to anchor your restoration scope.
Water Damage AssessmentPh.D.-led structural evaluation of cracks, settlement, and load concerns, providing the licensed engineering documentation a job may require.
Structural Engineering ServicesIndependent documentation of fire and smoke damage, from soot and contamination spread to structural impact, to support the cleaning and restoration scope.
Fire InvestigationsIndependent mold assessment that identifies the source, extent, and type of growth, with documentation that defines the remediation scope you will perform.
Mold Inspection & AssessmentTesting that identifies what is actually in the air before and after a job, from microbial growth to other contaminants, with clear, documented results.
Indoor Air Quality AssessmentsLicensed inspection and sampling for suspect materials before demolition or when a loss disturbs original materials, documented for the file.
