GeoTech investigations commenced in Brookhaven in early February. All of the approx 372 properties are zoned TC3. (see photos of GeoTech last week in Delta Way http://www.brookhaven.net.nz/photos.htm)
AMI have scheduled approx 15 so far and the number is expected to rise as people look at their options and make decisions. Work will be progressively undertaken during this month and through the winter. After the investigation a report is made and sent to Arrow.
The next step usually is a structural engineer is engaged to recommend and design suitable foundation.
Then a registered surveyor conducts a survey to confirm boundaries and determine the height of the new floor in order to comply with Variation 48 of CCC Flood Plan.
How does one get to GeoTech Report you may be asking? This is a general overview based on feedback from residents who are AMI/Arrow International clients.
- EQC determines that your house is overcap.
- Private insurers make contact with homeowner to advise your property will be managed by their Project Management Office(PMO) e.g. AMI uses Arrow, IAG use Hawkins etc.
- PMO visits property and generates a scope of works or detailed repair analysis (this is additional to EQC scope).
- Draft report on the scope is sent for property owner to check and advise variances.
- Redraft of report by PMO to include changes or variations.
- Recommendation is made by PMO to private insurer as to Repair or Rebuild.
- Owner is notified and repair or rebuild options are presented..
- If PMO recommend a rebuild and property owner wishes to rebuild on existing site, Geotech is ordered by PMO.
