Digital 2D floor plans for property insurance claims

Encircle Floor Plan can be used on ANY iOS or Android device that meets the minimum Operating System (OS) requirements, including tablets! The minimum OS requirements are: iOS 13.4 and Android 8.0. Most, if not all, Android and iOS devices from the past 4 years will be able to meet this minimum OS requirement. However, the accuracy of your scan increases to 97% if you are using an iPhone with LiDAR (whereas 95% is our typical scan accuracy).

To capture a property that has multiple floors, you can simply continue your scan as you walk up or down stairs between levels. Our technology will detect that you are on a different level, and the 2D floor plan will be returned with separate image files for each floor, with the stair locations represented as well. We recommend starting on the lowest level of a property and working your way up. Do not move back and forth between levels during a scan.

You bet! Measurements are available in metric (meters and centimeters) or imperial (feet and inches). The floor plan will be returned with metric or imperial measurements based on your app’s user preferences at the time the property was scanned.

To capture a property with Encircle Floor Plan, you do not have to remove contents, clutter or furniture. Our technology can “see through the clutter” and fill in missing information if there are areas of the room being blocked by furniture, appliances, or general clutter. However, you need to be able to walk far enough into a space to capture where the floor meets each wall. So, for hoarder environments where you cannot get far enough into a room, the room will need to be cleared out to a certain extent in order to capture an accurate scan.

Encircle Floor Plan files are delivered directly into the Encircle claim as JPEG image files. An image will be returned for each level captured. The floor plan image(s) can be easily included in an Encircle report or can be downloaded from the Encircle app to use or share within another application.

We know how important it is for you to get your floor plans into Xactimate. Currently, you can import any floor plan into Xactimate as an underlay to create a sketch in under 5 minutes. Our lightning fast delivery of your floor plan within 6 hours or less allows you to start your estimates faster than if you were waiting 24-48 hours (or more) to receive an ESX file back. We are actively working on a solution that will allow floor plans to be automatically converted into an Xactimate sketch.
