South Africa field reporting

Loss Adjusting Inspection Software in South Africa

Coastal humidity, winter rainfall in the south-west, summer storms inland and cold overnight surfaces can produce very different moisture patterns. Reports should distinguish rain penetration, plumbing defects and condensation.

A workflow for loss adjusters

Organise affected areas, damage observations, measurements, photographs and recommended next investigations. The purpose is to record the extent, apparent cause and condition context of property damage.

A time-ordered photo record supports communication between policyholders, insurers and repair teams. PropertySurvey Pro generates the PDF on the device and can sync the survey when connectivity returns.

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and local records

South African Energy Performance Certificates are used for qualifying non-residential buildings and may form part of an asset record. Relevant certificate or rating references can sit beside the inspection findings rather than replacing a physical condition assessment.

Local minimum housing and habitability standards vary by jurisdiction. The responsible professional should confirm the rules that apply to the property, tenure and authority.

Configuration for South Africa

  • Use ZAR for cost schedules and repair allowances.
  • Use “mould” in condition descriptions.
  • Reference Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) where it is relevant to the asset.
  • Use EXIF-verified capture timestamps for photographic evidence.
