A Bit About DBI:
DBI Construction Consultants specializes in evaluating damage to buildings and structures.

Sometimes damages are caused by flooding, a hurricane, a factory fire, or possibly a design failure.
At times the damages are concentrated to a single area of a structure, and other times only a pile of rubble remains.
Whatever the case, DBI's Estimators are in the field documenting the resulting conditions and evaluating options for the path forward.

Don't Be Fooled

The fraudster will send a check to the victim who has accepted a job. The check can be for multiple reasons such as signing bonus, supplies, etc. The victim will be instructed to deposit the check and use the money for any of these reasons and then instructed to send the remaining funds to the fraudster. The check will bounce and the victim is left responsible.
