From the make safe on the night to the final coat of paint, we manage the building and electrical side of your insurance claim with one team, one contract and clear reporting every step of the way.
We'll call you back to arrange an inspection or review your insurer's scope.
An insurance claim is stressful enough without chasing four different trades. After a storm, burst pipe, fire or impact, most properties need a mix of work: roofing, carpentry, plasterboard, painting, flooring, waterproofing and electrical. Coordinating that through an insurer and an assessor is where claims stall.
Excel Building and Power is a Sydney multi-trade contractor that handles insurance building work from start to finish. We make the property safe, document the damage, prepare a detailed scope, quote it in a format your insurer can approve, then carry out every trade under one contract. The building and the electrical are done by the same team, so nothing waits on someone else.
We work directly for homeowners, landlords and strata managers who want their own builder, and we take work orders from insurers, loss assessors and claims builders.
Every insurer runs claims slightly differently, but the building side almost always follows the same path. Here's what to expect when we handle your repairs:
Tarping, propping, boarding and electrical isolation to stop further damage.
You notify your insurer and get a claim number. We provide make safe photos and invoice.
We inspect, find the cause and record the full extent of damage, including hidden damage.
A detailed scope and itemised quote for insurer or assessor approval.
Once approved, all trades are scheduled together to minimise disruption.
Completion photos, compliance certificates and final sign-off.
Roofs, gutters, skylights, ceilings, windows, façades and fences.
Burst pipes, roof leaks and failed waterproofing: ceilings, walls, floors and joinery.
Structural repairs, framing, linings and electrical reinstatement.
Vehicles, fallen trees and falling objects through walls, roofs and structures.
Break-ins and vandalism: doors, windows, locks and finishes.
Storm-affected switchboards, wiring, fittings, service lines and metering.
Most claims involve several of these. Because we cover roofing, carpentry, plastering, waterproofing and electrical in-house, one scope covers the whole job.
We know what claims teams need to approve work quickly: clear cause-of-loss information, photos that show the damage in context, and quotes broken down so each item can be checked against the policy.
We accept make safe and repair work orders across Greater Sydney and keep the insured informed throughout, so your team gets fewer calls.

Many home and strata policies give you a choice: let the insurer appoint a panel builder, nominate your own builder, or accept a cash settlement and manage repairs yourself. The options depend on your policy wording and the insurer, so always ask.
If you want us to handle your repairs, we'll inspect the damage and prepare a scope and quote you can submit to your insurer. If you've taken a cash settlement, we can quote against the insurer's scope so you can see whether the settlement covers the work.
When damage affects common property, the owners corporation's strata insurance usually responds, and the strata manager coordinates the claim. These jobs need extra care: access to multiple lots, communication with residents, and reports the committee can understand. We provide make safe, scopes, quotes and repairs for strata claims across Sydney. See strata building maintenance.
