Insurance Services

With a 70-80% inaccuracy rate (due to errors or incomplete data) on the OIR 1802 form, there is a definite need in the industry to create accuracy and consistency of reporting wind resistant construction features. 

Some common errors include:

  • Improper classification of roof type
  • Improper classification of fenestration protection
  • Protection not meeting ASTM standard
  • Not all openings protected
  • Improper classification of garage door
  • Failure to rate/inspect skylights
  • Improper identification of gable bracing
  • Incorrect classification of roof deck attachment

  • Our Process

    Quality Assurance Process: Our select QA Wind Inspectors are specifically trained on the accuracy and consistency concerns of previous OIR forms. With enhanced oversight and clarification from building science experts regarding prevalant errors, each file is reviewed to ensure the checklist data reflects the photo files and that the insurance form is properly executed. Photos of specific details, elevations, product documentation and other factors used to make determinations about building features are uploaded with the file. On-site investigations are scheduled with the homeowner, and courteous interviews are conducted.

    Rapid Response & Efficiency: From the time the QA work order is received, inspections are scheduled and completed on average within 4.2 days.

    As SkyeTec has worked with well over 200 clients and in the past nine years has performed more than 500,000 inspections, SkyeTec has a fundamental understanding of scheduling goals and deliverables. Therefore, SkyeTec has developed internal and external processes, documentation, communication and technological services to satisfy this type of volume and expectation. 

  • Our Deliverable

    Client and Homeowner Deliverable: SkyeTec Wind Inspectors upload the necessary insurance form  and photos at the conclusion of the QA inspection. Mitigation retrofit recommendations are provided to the homeowner, along with an informational wind safety DVD.

    Information Technology: State-of-the-art, web-based systems allow SkyeTec personnel and the client to review all photos and inspection data within minutes of the inspector completing the upload of the data. File review is available online to agents and underwriters via the paperless portal. The electronic document storage system is backed up on secure offsite servers.
