The challenge
Effectively managing flood assessments
In the aftermath of severe weather events, A1 Services activates its team of engineers, hygienists, and electricians to undertake property assessments – inspecting, estimating, and reporting on flood damage impact. The team needs to access accurate, measurable data as quickly as possible to provide assessments and estimates that enable quicker response and recovery actions.

The solution
Up-to-date data for accurate proposals
Using Nearmap aerial imagery, A1 Services can measure and record details to create more accurate proposals, making calculations based on the building footprint and other verifiable property details. Viewing imagery of properties pre- and post-flood helps the team assess the extent of loss. With the accuracy and the frequency of capture, with Nearmap imagery A1 assessors can provide a clearer outline of quantities and materials needed for replacement and repair.

The impact
Fast assessments for rebuild and repairs
The ability to provide more accurate estimates of replacement building materials – such as external cladding, wall plaster, vinyl flooring, and other components – helps A1 Services provide insurers and government authorities with higher-accuracy reports of damage impact, along with anticipated replacement and rebuild costs. Remote inspections enable more properties to be assessed. This allows for supplies to be ordered sooner, helping expedite the claims process to facilitate, rebuild, and repair.
