Estimating & Workflow
Inspection protocol
The set of steps an adjuster or an inspector follows when examining a damaged property. It can include walking the roof, reviewing existing photos, taking moisture readings, and verifying the measurements behind the estimate. Following a consistent inspection protocol keeps findings objective and makes the claim review faster. Contractors help by preparing a clean, organized estimate and documentation package before the adjuster arrives.
