A third-party estimator’s secret to faster, more accurate estimates

Myriam Walker from Administrative Consultants of Florida understands the essentials of property restoration: speed and accuracy in estimates are non-negotiable. Partnering with AfterShock Clean Team, she brought in Encircle Floor Plan, a decision that amplified their operational efficiency from day one. Myriam's choice was clear: "I'm able to get their estimates out faster than others."

CHALLENGE: Tackling restoration workflow inefficiency

The old way of manually sketching out floor plans often felt like navigating through a maze of inaccurate maps for Myriam.

"There were times when the dimensions didn't add up when sketching by hand. By the time I finished the sketch, I would look at it and wonder, "What in the world is that?" It was because I was inputting the dimensions I was given, and often, it didn't work out due to technicians who were new to sketching.”

On top of that, coordinating with technicians and uploading documents to Dropbox for Xactimate was a headache. Myriam knew there had to be a faster way to nail down estimates without all the hassle.

"The first time I imported a Floor Plan into Xactimate for an entire house flood, it took about 20 minutes. I was amazed at how detailed it was."

Effortless workflow: Myriam made her workflow more efficient by setting up estimates in the CRM system and Xactimate while the emergency work was ongoing. This smart approach saved 109 admin hours and had the estimates finished as soon as the emergency work was finished.

Less adjuster follow-up: The efficiency gain is clear. "I'm able to produce estimates quickly, so everybody's happy." Less time on the phone, more time on actual restoration work.
