Questions about program work for restoration contractors

We created the Fellowship of Construction Knowledge and Entrepreneurial Development (FoCKED) last year as a means of networking for local restoration contractors and insurance claims professionals based in the Pacific Northwest. We held in person meetings in Puyallup, Washington and had several hearty discussion on issues that contractors and entrepreneurs face daily in the marketplace as well as in their growing organizations.

Is Program Work Right for Your Restoration Company?

We are exploring the idea of opening the discussion to restoration contractors and insurance claims professionals on the West Coast. One area of discussion that doesn't always allow for earnest feedback online, is the topic of program work in the insurance claims world. If you or your team members have asked:

• Can you make any money being on a third-party administrator vendor list?
• How would my company even get started with program work? 
• What are the best practices that will allow me to incorporate or manage preferred vendor work in my organization?
• Are the horror stories I hear on social media real? 
• Do you have to sell your soul in order to make the process work? 
• What are the alternatives to program work?  ​​

Discussing Restoration with Other Contractors

Are you interested in a contractor to contractor roundtable discussion about program, third-party administrator (TPA), and preferred vendor work? Please fill out the survey on the FoCKED webpage to express your interest. If we have enough entries, we will continue our work to set up a moderated discussion in an environment where restoration contractors can ask their peers honest questions about their wins and losses in this realm. ​
