Description

This is a mid-to-large-size Category 2, Class 3 mitigation project requiring demolition and drying efforts spanning just over two weeks. This Insight Sheet exists to clarify how one might invoice for a Fuel Surcharge during periods of extreme market volatility. This surcharge is intended to bridge the gap between static monthly price lists and the rapidly escalating real-world costs of gas and diesel required for fleet mobilization.

By design, the Insight Sheet Database does not dissect pricing. We are not in the business of telling contractors, claims professionals, or software providers what their prices or percentage modifiers should be.

This does not seek to include or make concessions for all logistics or travel-related activities. The Insight Sheets were designed for use outside of managed repair work; however, they can still be applied with consideration to the respective network’s guidelines.
