The direct answer
Ducere Construction Services, Inc. offers licensed reconstruction services for metro Atlanta restoration firms and property managers coordinating repairs after water, fire, or storm losses. The rebuilding scope, mitigation handoff, permit requirements, client communication, and estimating deliverables should be agreed before work starts. Ducere identifies Georgia GC license GCCO006711 and IICRC firm certification 7781459.
How do you protect the mitigation firm's client relationship?
The owner should never have to mediate an unclear handoff between mitigation and reconstruction. Establish who contracts with the property owner, who communicates with the adjuster, who approves changes, and who is responsible for each remaining condition. Define whether Ducere is contracting directly with the owner or working under a separate business-to-business arrangement.
The handoff should identify:
- The authorized repair scope and any unresolved coverage or pricing questions.
- Affected rooms, measurements, photographs, and existing-condition records.
- Mitigation work completed, remaining work, and any applicable drying, clearance, or testing documentation.
- Structural concerns and the need for qualified design professionals or specialty assessment.
- Site access, utilities, occupancy restrictions, and protection of unaffected areas.
- Permit responsibilities, communication contacts, and approval steps for concealed damage.
Reconstruction should not conceal unresolved moisture, unsafe conditions, or other deficiencies merely to meet a target date. Confirm readiness for rebuilding through the appropriate project-specific checks.
Does Ducere estimate with BNi or Xactimate?
Ducere uses BNi cost references as a construction-cost benchmark. This should not be represented as an automatic Xactimate estimate or as a carrier-approved price. The actual proposal must account for quantities, site conditions, materials, trade quotations, and the work included or excluded.
If a carrier or partner requires Xactimate, confirm the preparer, software access, deliverable format, fee, and turnaround before committing. Mapping a BNi-based scope into Xactimate requires a qualified estimator to review matching line items, activities, units, quantities, price-list assumptions, and inclusions. It is not a reliable one-click price conversion.
No free 48-hour scope, native Xactimate file, or carrier-approval guarantee is included in this page's offer. Those terms require a separate, explicit agreement. Insurance coverage and payment remain subject to the policy and the carrier's review; contractor documentation supports that review but does not determine coverage.

How are additional damage and scope changes handled?
Document the condition, its location, photographs, the reason additional work is needed, and the proposed cost and schedule effect. Obtain the appropriate owner's authorization and coordinate any requested carrier review before proceeding, except where separately authorized emergency measures are required. Maintain a clear distinction between the construction contract and insurance reimbursement.
The closeout plan should address inspection records, punch-list completion, warranties, and payment and lien documentation appropriate to the contract. No contractor can promise that every inspection will pass on the first attempt; the useful commitment is a documented process for identifying and resolving deficiencies.
What completed work can a partner review?
The 7015 Wellcrest Drive project in Kennesaw is listed as completed and documents fire-damage mitigation, structural stabilization, and residential renovation. Review the associated reconstruction technical brief for the recorded scope. This is a residential reconstruction example, not a claim of a completed commercial loss of the same scale as your project.
What belongs in the partner qualification review?
Verify Georgia GC GCCO006711 and RLQ RLQQA005251 through the Georgia license lookup. Request current insurance certificates and required endorsements, relevant trade credentials, and confirmation of IICRC firm certification 7781459. NASCLA examination credential 404696491 does not independently authorize work in another state.
Agree on a project-specific visual record, including any OpenSpace 360 captures, and the method for checking crew and subcontractor credentials. BuildPass credential tracking and documentation tools support a review process; they do not replace license verification or required inspections. Confirm access and deliverables rather than assuming every project uses identical software.
Discuss an active rebuild
Provide the site address, loss type, current mitigation status, approximate repair scope, target handoff date, and required estimate format. Avoid putting policy numbers or sensitive claim documents into the initial inquiry.
Request a reconstruction partnership discussion or call (404) 565-0631. Availability, site review, fees, and turnaround are confirmed for the individual loss.
