Mike Behler, a Santa Rosa builder, has, at no cost, helped fire survivors with their insurance. He does not prepare scopes of loss like these folks do, but he has prepared cost summaries for rebuilding and code upgrade costs to submit to insurance companies.
Mike will also help review construction contracts. See his handouts on Hiring Builders and Questions for Architects/Designers found Here »
He currently focuses on commercial building and is not taking on any residential projects at this time. Mike has donated his time to help fire survivors embark on rebuilding.

Dear Fire Survivors,
My name is Matthew Grill. As you may know, my non-profit Fire Victims Coalition hosted the Fire Survivors Seminar at the LBC last Saturday.
After the seminar, I received a request to provide one on one consulting. After giving it some consideration, I can take on a handful of people and help them navigate the insurance and rebuild process.
Here is my experience:
I lost my home in 2007 in a Wildfire.
I was underinsured
I rebuilt and maximized all of my insurance policy
I have 20+ years experience in building and development
Here is what I can help consult with:
I can be your advocate in this rebuilding process to help protect you
Find ways to save you money so you can add more upgrades or have additional cash
A-Z rebuilding and insurance navigation
Selecting a builder
Bid reviews
Help with builder contracts
Process mechanics lien paperwork, so you don’t pay twice
Process bank draws from your mortgage company
Communicate with your builder
I know the process may seem daunting to rebuild. We will get through this, and it’s not as bad as it seems.
If you are interested, I would be happy to give you an hour of my time at no cost to see how I can help or just give you tips to help you on the road to recovery.
