A Restoration Consultant should have a solid understanding of building restoration processes, project management, and damage assessment, typically backed by relevant industry experience or education. Familiarity with estimating software (such as Xactimate), moisture detection tools, and relevant certifications (like IICRC) is highly valued. Excellent communication, problem-solving abilities, and client service skills help build trust with property owners and coordinate effectively with contractors and insurance adjusters. These skills are essential for managing projects efficiently, delivering high-quality outcomes, and maintaining strong client relationships in a fast-paced environment.
