Many general contractors will advertise that they are reconstruction experts, but you should choose a reconstruction company because it can help you get better results, often for a better price, and faster.
A reconstruction company that also handles restoration will have experts who can tell you if it really is the best idea to tear down and rebuild or if restoration makes more sense. Jumping directly to reconstruction without having a restoration expert look at the property can cost you a lot of money.
You can also save the cost of significant furnishings if some of the movable property within the damaged structure can be restored rather than replaced.
Working with a reconstruction company that understands insurance companies can also make it easier for you to get the full compensation you’re due under your policy, and to get it in time to help with reconstruction costs.
