Insurance and restoration field workflow

Magicplan Training for Contractors and Adjusters

Neil trains field teams to use Magicplan as part of a repeatable property workflow: create and verify floor plans, capture measurements, attach photos and notes to the right location, and prepare a cleaner handoff for estimating, reporting, or project review.

01

Build the floor plan while you are at the property

Learn a consistent process for starting the project, capturing rooms, checking dimensions, labeling the plan, and correcting the sketch before the team leaves.

  • Project and floor setup
  • Room capture and manual drawing
  • Dimension checks and ceiling heights
  • Doors, windows, walls, and objects
  • 2D and 3D plan review
02

Connect photos and notes to the plan

Train the crew to attach documentation to the project, floor, room, wall, or object it describes so the office does not have to sort through an unexplained camera roll.

  • Room-specific photos
  • Field notes and annotations
  • Consistent labels
  • Photo and report review
  • Cloud handoff to the office
03

Move a checked project into the estimating workflow

For teams that use both platforms, training can include the process around generating an ESX file, importing it into Xactimate, and checking the resulting project before estimate writing begins. Subscription access and platform features are confirmed before the class.

04

Shape the class around your role

Contractors can focus on restoration documentation, field-to-office standards, and estimate preparation. Independent and public adjusters can focus on inspections, room organization, reports, and a cleaner estimating handoff.

05

Independent, practical software training

Parrot Key is an independent training provider and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Sensopia or Magicplan. Features and subscription access can change, so the final agenda is confirmed against the team's current devices and plan.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • Who is Magicplan training for?

    Programs can be built for contractors, restoration teams, estimators, independent adjusters, public adjusters, inspectors, and other property professionals who need a consistent mobile floor-plan and documentation process.

  • How can Magicplan fit into an Xactimate workflow?

    A team can use Magicplan to build and check a floor plan, organize measurements and field documentation, then use an available integration or ESX export to move project information into Xactimate. The imported project still needs to be reviewed before estimating.

  • Do I need Magicplan if my team already sketches in Xactimate?

    Not necessarily. The right tool depends on your team's devices, subscription access, field process, reporting needs, and where estimate writing happens. Training can compare both workflows using your actual team roles.

  • Can Magicplan store photos and notes by room?

    Magicplan supports adding photos and notes at several project levels, including floors, rooms, walls, and objects. Training focuses on using those locations consistently so another person can understand the file.

  • Can Magicplan create a report for an insurance or restoration file?

    Magicplan can generate structured reports that include selected floor plans, photos, notes, forms, and other project information. The exact options depend on the current subscription and product features.

  • Can Neil train our team in person?

    Yes. In-person Magicplan training is available anywhere in the world when the program and travel logistics are a fit. Live virtual training is also available worldwide.

  • Does Parrot Key provide official Magicplan certification?

    No. Parrot Key provides independent, practical workflow training and does not issue certification from Magicplan or Sensopia.
