Insurance claim support and repair management
Managing property damage can mean juggling reports, site visits, phone calls and repair decisions. Bay Rebuild helps homeowners in Rotorua and the wider Bay of Plenty organise the building side of an insurance claim, from the first damage information through to completed repairs.
With your written authority and through your insurer’s authorisation process, we can act as your nominated contact for agreed claim coordination tasks.

Help preparing the building information
We can help organise the damage description, photographs, inspection findings and repair documentation needed to support your claim. Where your authority and the insurer’s process allow, we can help submit that information and follow up on the building assessment.
Notify your insurer promptly after damage occurs; you do not need to wait for our inspection to lodge your claim.
Coordinating assessments and the repair scope
We help arrange access and attend assessments with your insurer’s appointed assessor or loss adjuster. We bring practical building knowledge to the discussion, including:
Documenting the damage we identify.
Discussing repair methods, materials and quantities.
Raising potential omissions or unclear allowances.
Identifying where further investigation or specialist input is needed.
Our aim is a clearly documented repair scope, with a record of what is agreed and which building questions still need answers.
Managing the agreed repairs
When you appoint Bay Rebuild to carry out the work, we agree the scope, price and arrangements before starting. We coordinate trades and materials, monitor progress and workmanship, discuss changes with you, and take you through the completed repairs at handover. We focus on repairs completed to a high standard against the agreed scope.
If your insurer has offered a cash settlement, our cash settlement scope and cost review can help you understand the building work behind that offer.
You stay informed and in control
We agree our role and any fees upfront, keep you informed of material developments, and bring decisions back to you. Our work focuses on building assessment, documentation, coordination and repairs; your insurer determines policy cover and settlement.
Whether the claim is new or already underway, start with a brief summary of the damage and the help you need. We will explain the practical next steps.
Claim support questions
Can you speak to my insurer for me?
Yes, for the tasks you authorise once the insurer’s requirements are completed. Coordination authority does not automatically let us accept a settlement, change your policy or commit you to building work.
Are you the insurer’s loss adjuster?
No. For this service, you engage us to assist with the building side of your claim. We work with the assessor or loss adjuster appointed by your insurer.
Will the insurer pay your support fees?
Do not assume these are covered. We confirm our fees with you before starting; any reimbursement needs the insurer’s agreement.
