The primary purpose
of I-ENG-A® is to provide a vehicle
from which independent engineering firms can become qualified and recognized
as part of a national entity. Insurance companies, because of the broad
base of their operations, need to have access to services nationwide which
they can depend on for consistent procedures, uniform reporting methods,
predictable billing standards and the basic level of specialty expertise
to meet the needs of assignments. They have not been able to draw upon
local engineering firms due to the small number with investigative training.
The current method of having qualified engineers travel great distances
and sometimes stay on location for extended periods of time places is
not cost-effective and puts companies in the position of being very selective
as to the assignments they give out. Yet they recognize that there are
thousands of claims on which the services of an investigative engineer
could have saved substantial amounts of money. |
