Estimating & Workflow

Contents category

The part of an estimate that covers personal property rather than the building itself. Contents can be packed, cleaned, stored, and returned as part of a loss. In an estimate, contents are usually grouped in their own category so they can be separated from the structural repair work in the scope.
