Scoping, Estimating and Loss Documentation
What’s In An Estimate?
With the industry transition to a software based estimating environment, the skill required to properly estimate and scope a loss has become an art form.
While many contractors and professionals have existed in an environment where hands on analysis and experience was the key to writing a proper estimate and scope of work, the insurance industry has driven it to an automated numbers game. Utilizing market controlled estimating software programs insurance companies are able to control the scope of work and costs of the restoration. This has created trend of suppressing accurate restoration scopes resulting in significantly underpaid claim settlements.
The ability to accurately use this industry estimating software to its full potential and support the scope of work with experience and knowledge of insurance policy and construction practices is a critical element to a complete and quality restoration.
