The partnership embeds BEI’s expertise into Brelly’s AI, creating “learn-while-you-work” claims, improving speed, accuracy, and judgment across the industry.
Brelly, the AI claims platform redefining how property claims are resolved, announced its acquisition of Building Experts Institute (BEI), a leader in advanced restoration and building science training. The deal fuses BEI’s industry expertise with Brelly’s AI Claims Copilot, creating the first platform where every claim interaction doubles as real-time training. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Why It Matters
Insurance claims are messy. They’re multi-party, high-stakes, and often drag on for weeks or months—costing insurers, contractors, and policyholders alike. Brelly already cuts handling time in half by turning chaos into guided, step-by-step resolution.
BEI, known for its deep curriculum in repairability, mitigation, documentation, and codes, brings decades of practitioner wisdom. Together, Brelly and BEI collapse training and execution into a single workflow: every AI answer is backed by expert methodology and delivered with embedded micro-lessons. The result: professionals who not only resolve claims faster but grow sharper with every case.

Leadership Commentary
Tobias Patch, Founder & CEO, Brelly: “Claims are built and settled by people, and they’re resolved best when everyone shares the process. By weaving BEI’s expert training into Brelly’s AI, we deliver real-time answers that teach the ‘why’ and compound learning with every interaction; a huge win for our shared customers and another step toward claims done fully, fairly, and fast.”
Mathew Mulholland, Dean, Building Experts Institute: “At Building Experts Institute, I’m excited to bring artificial intelligence directly into our training programs through our partnership with Brelly. In today’s claims environment, AI has become an essential tool, and now we can train professionals step-by-step on how to use it effectively in real-world claims. This partnership allows us to go beyond theory and provide practical, hands-on guidance—while continuing to deliver the same high-quality training our industry knows us for, only now enhanced with the power of AI.”

Matthew Danskin, Co-founder, Building Experts Institute: “Better claims help starts with better facts. Brelly verifies every answer against building codes, policy language, and claim facts before it responds—ensuring guidance is accurate, precise, and source-linked with a full audit trail—in ways generalized AI tools can’t, putting even more distance between us and general-purpose AI.” —Matt Danskin, Brelly
