  1. Enter the fire-damaged area (sqft) from the scope of loss.
  2. Set cost rates for fire damage ($), smoke damage ($), water damage ($) (from suppression), and structural ($).
  3. Toggle structural damage involvement to include framing and load-bearing repairs.
  4. Review total restoration cost broken into fire, smoke, water, and structural line items.
  5. Cross-check with the insurance adjuster's estimate and supplement for items not captured initially.

What each input means

Fire-Damaged Area (sqft)
Square footage directly damaged by fire/flame
Smoke-Affected Area (sqft)
Square footage affected by smoke, soot, and odor (often much larger than fire area)
Water-Affected Area (sqft)
Square footage affected by fire suppression water (sprinklers, hoses)
Structural Damage
0 = No structural damage, 1 = Structural repairs needed (joists, beams, etc.)

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Fire-Damaged Area (sqft) = 300, Smoke-Affected Area (sqft) = 1000, Water-Affected Area (sqft) = 500, Structural Damage = 0 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Fire Damage Cost
    Fire Damage Cost
    10500 = $10,500
  3. Calculate Smoke Damage Cost
    Smoke Damage Cost
    6000 = $6,000
