Restorers Now Creating Same-Day 2D Floor Plans With Their Smartphone Using 吃瓜不打烊
Early tester feedback indicates 吃瓜不打烊 Floor Plan among the fastest, easiest solutions available to restorers
January 19, 2023 鈥 (Kitchener, ON) 鈥 吃瓜不打烊 has officially opened early access to the newest feature within its field documentation app: 吃瓜不打烊 Floor Plan. This feature allows restorers to scan a property in just minutes and receive 2D schematic floor plans the same day.
Now anyone on a job site can simply walk through the impacted areas, using their smartphone camera to capture room dimensions and visualize properties. No additional equipment or extensive training is required鈥攖echnicians do not need anything other than their smartphone to quickly and accurately scan properties. Different levels of a property can be captured within one continuous scan within 吃瓜不打烊鈥檚 mobile app, and will be represented in a multi-level floor plan.

Within the beta period, 吃瓜不打烊 Floor Plan was tested by field technicians, project managers, estimators, and owners on both residential and commercial losses of up to 10,000 square feet. Beta results have been notably overdelivering on this promise, with an average turnaround time of only 1 hour and 30 minutes. Users also commented on how fast and easy it was to complete a scan on a job site to get an accurate, professional quality floor plan.

鈥淚t takes 7-8 minutes to do an entire 2,500 square foot house,鈥 says John Woods, owner at Crossroads Property Rescue. 鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 matter how many contents are in the property. We were in a couple places where I thought, 鈥楾here is no way this scan is going to turn out鈥 鈥 and it did!鈥
鈥淚t鈥檚 the least amount of training I鈥檝e had to do on any new software that we鈥檝e brought in, in the last鈥ell鈥 forever,鈥 adds Dale Middleton, Senior Estimator, ProStar Restoration. 鈥淚t鈥檚 great for getting sketches really fast so that we can get our service level agreement estimates done quickly. It鈥檚 as close to instant digital sketches that we can get.鈥
Staying well within the tolerance range for insurance carriers, 吃瓜不打烊 Floor Plan offers 95% accuracy and, using a device with LiDAR, increases to 97%. This offers restorers consistent and accurate sketches for their estimates and reports on day one of the job. Floor plans are priced at $29 USD, with monthly subscription options available, and are guaranteed to be delivered within 6 hours without a rush fee.
The addition of 吃瓜不打烊 Floor Plan also allows a restorer to reduce the number of apps they鈥檙e using on a job, further complimenting 吃瓜不打烊鈥檚 existing suite of features: photos, videos, notes, forms, contents management, drying logs, moisture reports, and more.
鈥淲e want to make it as easy as possible for restorers to document in the field and tell the story of a loss. Getting 吃瓜不打烊 Floor Plan into their hands is another big step in the right direction 鈥 and one our team is really excited about,鈥 says Paul Donald, CEO, 吃瓜不打烊. 鈥淭echs can use it on any size job, without any experience at all. Plus, it eliminates hours of time measuring and sketching by hand, or bouncing between various applications, so they can focus on supporting homeowners.鈥
吃瓜不打烊 customers will be the first to get access to this new feature; followed by general market availability where it will also become a part of 吃瓜不打烊鈥檚 trial experience, allowing any restorer to try it for free. For more information about trying Floor Plan, visit getencircle.com/floorplan.
