Average Geometry
The unit is modeled using an approximate 1.5:1 rectangular footprint. Actual floor plans and field measurements will change perimeter and wall quantities.
Fire Loss Reconstruction Estimator
Estimate the Construction Before the Build Begins.
Create a preliminary per-unit and project-level reconstruction RCV for multifamily fire losses using unit size, wall height, unit configuration, scope, finishes, building systems, and project general conditions.

How the Model Works
More than a square-foot multiplier.
The estimator creates an average unit geometry from the entered square footage, estimates exterior perimeter, estimates interior partition length by bedroom configuration, and converts those dimensions into wall, ceiling, insulation, trim and flooring quantities.
Interior Partitions
Interior wall length is estimated using a layout coefficient based on bedroom count. Larger and more compartmentalized layouts create additional wall surface.
General Conditions
Project-level supervision, labor, dumpsters, storage, temporary facilities and site controls are calculated once and allocated across the affected units.
Important Estimating Qualifications
Fire reconstruction is condition-driven.
This estimator is intended to provide a preliminary construction-cost planning value based on user-entered assumptions and provisional restoration pricing. It is not a contractor's fixed-price proposal, an engineering opinion, a public-adjusting service, or a determination of insurance coverage or benefits.
