real or scam?
(OP)
ok wise people -
I've been contacted by a firm that coordinates forensic engineers for insurance companies. Basically, they would call me when there's a structural claim in my area and I would go out and do my standard investigation, and write up a report with general recommendations. I've heard of such companies but this is my first contact with one, and I want to make sure I'm not getting sucked over to the dark side.
Do any of you do investigation work for companies like this? What do you charge? They'd be my client and they're basically a passthrough to the insurance companies.
cheers for any thoughts.

1. Find licensed engineers "out there".
2. Provide a mechanism where the engineer can simply do engineering and not mess with the work involved in building and managing a firm as well as marketing.
3. Use the engineer's services to make money.
4. Pay the engineer a reduced fee to "pay" for their management and marketing.

How is this any different than an engineer working in any situation other than a one-man shop?
