Claim and Reconstruction Update- January 20, 2025

ELC, please use the following as CCMG’s update on the progress of claim settlement and preparation for reconstruction activities.

On 1/6/2025, Scott Benglen met with the community in an open forum meeting at the clubhouse.

  • A revision to the original claim estimate by Engle Martin (EM) is underway. CCMG met with the EM adjusters on December 10, 2024 and we are still awaiting their agreed upon updates. CCMG identified multiple items that EM omitted or under estimated on their original documentation.

  • Because the claim estimate is currently just under ELC’s 10% wind and hail deductible, the final claim amount WILL become the total deductible the association will assess for once the claim is agreed upon.  Because of this ELC has not formally notified the community of the assessment or the assessment amount.  CCMG is hopeful this portion of the claim is settled within the next 10-days.
  • CCMG has prepared a full Reconstruction Proposal package and sent to qualified contractors.  As soon as the estimates are finalized, CCMG can begin the formal RFP process and present to ELC’s board qualified respondents ready to perform the work.  Work will generally begin in the Spring (April/May) due to weather restrains during winter.  In general the heavy construction will be roof replacement followed by gutter/downspout replacement.  After that, each building will have various amounts of window/screen, painting and exterior light replacements. Notification will be sent to the community as we get closer to kicking off the reconstruction.

  • ELC’s board will have multiple decisions in regards to the materials/quality of replacement shingles, gutters, etc.  These discussions will begin shortly and will include the “best use” of claim funds to produce the highest quality reconstruction.
