Biography

Justin Isabell is a restoration & building consultant with a background in construction & loss mitigation spanning the last decade. With an educational background in architecture, and ten years working in restoration reconstruction, Justin can knowledgeably assess loss, identify potential pitfalls early on, & has a thorough understanding of building construction within & outside of the restoration industry.

Justin’s strengths are in understanding construction types, their impact on mitigation processes, building cost estimating, & working collaboratively with the insureds, emergency service providers, & the carriers that insure them.

Justin has worked on a variety of projects including commercial, industrial, institutional, educational, residential, & historical; and enjoys the complexity that are inherently within larger losses with lots of moving parts. Justin brings a demonstrated ability to effectively communicate with all involved parties in a productive manner so that all understand the critical path forward to a restored property. His past work experience has included projects as small as a flooded residence where sensitivity to a person’s loss is paramount to large scale commercial restoration projects with more than half a billion dollars in exposure where business interruption & retaining market share become driving factors of the response. With this experience Justin can seamlessly assimilate with any project team & will knowledgeably contribute wherever requested.
