EXTERIOR INSPECTIONS FOR INSURANCE CARRIERS
Property Condition Surveys for Appraisals and Underwriting Management
Not every property in your roster requires the full survey, which is why we’re happy to offer our customizable Exterior Survey. This field inspection and report offers carriers a cost-effective, reliable option without compromising the quality of data behind each big underwriting decision.
What Your Exterior Survey Covers
This exterior field inspection is a loss control survey that documents the condition, insurability, and compliance of a property with your underwriting guidelines.
Our on-site field consultants conduct a thorough evaluation of the property exterior, producing a report that includes:
-
Exterior and roof photos
-
Risk and hazard identification
-
Replacement cost estimate
There is no limit on the property value our team can assess with the Exterior Survey. So whether you’re in need of an inspection for a $350k rental property or a $50M+ residence, this survey delivers verified data from a real professional with boots on the ground and eyes on the details.
Meeting Expectations
Every Exterior Survey is completed by a field consultant selected and overseen by our Field Management Team. These consultants meet Signature Companies' standards of conduct, carry relevant technical skills, and stay current with local building codes.
Furthermore, each completed survey is reviewed by our Quality Assurance Team for accuracy in condition assessment, replacement cost, and compliance with your specific underwriting requirements.
The Signature Standard
Signature Companies has completed hundreds of thousands of surveys with a close-to-zero exception rate and an average total cycle time of 27 days. Our US-based customer support team brings decades of experience, and our carriers know them by name.
Our team is trusted by high-net-worth insurers, Fortune 50 companies, regional carriers, and various Lloyd's of London syndicates. We operate with the dedication of a team that treats your reputation as our own.
In fact, our leadership has worked on the insurance carrier side of property inspections. So, we understand what’s at stake in every underwriting decision because we’ve made those decisions ourselves. We’ve taken those experiences and applied them to our process, raising standards while making life easier for customers.
Where Aerial Imagery Falls Short
Satellites can show you a certain angle of a property, but they cannot give you an answer. Is the roof truly nearing the end of its life? Is there a foundation crack only visible up close and from under a deck? Our field consultants get in close enough to see what imagery—even advanced imagery—simply can’t get to. That often includes worn materials, signs of deferred maintenance, and hazards out of camera range.
