3 key reports every restorer needs

There are three key reports that are highly used on our platform by our customers (Encirclers) to collaborate with insurance companies. They are the Preliminary Report, Schedule of Loss, and Moisture Summary.

Preliminary Report

The Preliminary Report is the most used report by contractors.

• It is created within 12 to 24 hours of the initial loss and contains preliminary property damage information
• It can be created within 30 minutes of the site inspection, allowing contractors and carriers greater visibility into the loss
• Includes details such as reserve amount, photos, sketches, and the scope of work to build estimates in the estimating tool

Schedule of Loss Report

The Schedule of Loss Report (SoL report) provides visual information of the damaged items, helping increase transparency and reduce administrative burden.

• Contents managers create the SoL after gathering information from contents team on different items and their dispositions 
• A detailed spreadsheet gives adjusters visual insight into the damaged items as well as the restorable vs non-restorable dispositions
• SoL makes it is easy to calculate replacement cost of items

“That same report that took half an hour to an hour to compile with Encircle, it would have taken 24 hours for us to really do a similar quality job.”

Moisture Summary Report

The Moisture Summary Report is key to understanding a water job’s status and creating a drying plan. A lot of PMs prefer to give technicians a structured list over a tick sheet. Their preferences include:

• Following S-500 standards to use the recommended equipment
• Tracking equipment and atmosphere, moisture, and psychometric readings
• Easily creating PDF summary reports within a few clicks

When field technicians take notes and readings with pen and paper, admins have to wait until they return to office to create the reports. If we streamline this data capture through a software tool, it not only reduces non-billable hours but also improves communication with adjusters/carriers in a timely manner.
