Who are we?

Concept Building Solutions are a truly national Claims Management company. We specialise in insurance claims and reinstatement property repairs, project managing all works from start to finish, removing stress from the customer.

What we do?

After assessing property damage we prepare a work schedule and quotation. We then negotiate and settle

the claim with the policy holder’s insurance company or appointed loss adjustor. Each Concept claims manager typically uses a local contractor base to carry out all property repair works.

How We Work & The Claims Process

We visit your property to survey all the damage and provide a list of recommended repairs with costs to your insurer.

Following this we then contact your insurance company to negotiate and agree all repairs to your property on your behalf.

Once accepted we will then project manage all building works with our qualified tradesmen and get your property back to its previous condition.

We then invoice your insurance company directly; you have nothing to pay but the excess on the policy.
