International Restoration Institute was built for the victims of disasters — since 2006.
We stand with the contractor and the adjuster in the field. IRI is built for the licensed contractors, adjusters, and property owners working the raw wreckage of a storm, fire, or flood — and we’ve been doing it since 2006.
Same mission since 2006
Disaster workers are ground zero. When the hurricane makes landfall, when the fire takes the house, when the flood fills the basement — restoration contractors are the ones who walk in.
What every network member brings
The standards IRI checks before a restoration or remediation company is listed — and keeps checking.
Meet Hope — the IRI Contractor Network AI
Hope is IRI’s own proprietary AI training system — a large AI model system consisting of hundreds of billions of parameters. She is not a cloud endpoint, a monthly subscription API, or a standard corporate chatbot.
General-purpose models like ChatGPT are brilliant at everyday tasks — and even they recognize that a specialized model trained on a specific field will outperform a general one. That’s exactly why IRI built Hope: a model trained on 20+ years of restoration field data, so you get answers grounded in the work, not generic guesses.
Built on IRI’s own private supercomputer
IRI Hope AI runs on a custom, industry-specific AI system built on IRI’s own private supercomputer, powered by next-generation accelerator hardware we own and operate — our models, training, and orchestration are proprietary to IRI. We do not route your private data through public clouds. Because we build and control the infrastructure ourselves, your questions stay confidential and you get zero-latency answers, 24/7.
Hope works for you on these pages too
