Tree removal invoice example for Planning

what is going on everybody this is andy with patterson adjuster training hey i wanted to do a quick pop-up video i had a couple of people ask me how tree debris removal works in terms of the xactimate estimate so i wanted to show you guys how you add that to the estimate i remember being new years and years ago trying to add tree debris removal to an estimate never fails something like this pops up about 8 30 at night you're trying to get an estimate done you're like oh my gosh how do i add this to the freaking estimate and you're banging your head against the wall and nobody's available to call so you go to bed frustrated mad upset and you got that hanging over your head the next day so i wanted to show you guys how to add that so we're in our estimate here we've already got our dwelling in here policy limit 130 000 we're gonna play like the tree is on a house so we're going to go to add options if you look in most homeowner policies it's an additional coverage nowadays it's like a thousand dollar limit and what this tree debris removal is the tree is on the house to get that cut up off the house it's paid under this same coverage limit that is available for the house so essentially you have a hundred and thirty thousand dollars to cut the tree up and get it off the house not cutting it up and calling it to the dump just to get it off the house in the spirit of the policy the repairs can't go forward until that tree is off the house so that's why it's paid under that same coverage and we're going to act like this is one of the standard insurance policies out there for homeowners so under additional coverages this tree debris removal pays up to a thousand dollars to cut it up and haul it off the premises so we're gonna do a thousand dollars then we're gonna go to our estimate items and we're going to put tree debris removal under debris removal in our grouping tree now the two that you're going to use probably the most is all under the dmo category and you're going to use tree lhr and think of this as two guys with chainsaws cutting trees up the other one that you're going to use is tree hr thinking think about this one as a tree company with guys or gals with chainsaws a crane a backhoe any equipment needed like that those are the two that you're going to use the most the other one that you're going to use is bid item a lot of times you're gonna get out to the policy holders house and they have already got the tree removed they've already got the tree cut up and hauled off so you're gonna use dmo bid item i'm not gonna concentrate on that right now what i'm gonna do is show you how to add tree debris removal if you're doing it yourself so what you've got to do is you've got to think in terms of how long would it take a tree company to remove this tree off a house now i don't want to get into the weeds as far as what if a policy holder wants to do their own tree debris removal or a policyholder says i spent 60 hours cutting this tree up and got it off my house now so you guys need to pay me i'm not gonna get into all that there is a way to handle that but this is really just a quick video to show you how to add it to your estimate okay so we're going to uh do tree lhr and if you read your definition it's basically workers with chainsaws to cut up a tree so we look at the tree look at the house and think okay eight hours will probably be plenty for those guys or gals to cut that tree up and get it off the house so repairs can begin so what you'll do is do two workers working four hours each that way whoever comes behind you knows your thought process the other thing you need to add i've already got these saved as note templates because i've got one tree debris removal for coverage a and then tree debris removal for cut up and haul off so i got this one this is to remove tree debris from home detached buildings fence etc and see the coverage is dwelling now the next one is going to be a duplicate line item essentially and i'm going to say okay so the tree's on the ground now they need to cut it up and haul it to the dump i figure six hours would be plenty for two workers working three hours each now i've got my line note this is to cut it up and get it off the premises i'm gonna go down here and it's gonna be tree debris removal hit okay okay so we got both of them on there now i'll show you what this looks like on the estimate you go to reports okay so under our grouping tree debris removal you've got the one for coverage a here the one tree debris removal cut up and haul off here and so here's here's our summary page summary for the dwelling this includes the stuff i've already added to the estimate 6686 and that includes the coverage a tree debris removal and this is the tree debris removal under additional coverages that's how you add tree debris removal to the estimate hopefully save some frustration for somebody down the road i'll see you tuesday at four o'clock with the new video you
