Estimates
Estimate a multi-unit loss
Scope apartments, condos, and townhomes in one estimate. Tell Wave which unit each room belongs to and the canvas, menus, and PDF group everything by unit.
When a loss spans multiple units (apartments, condos, townhomes), you can scope the whole job in a single estimate. Wave groups the rooms by unit so the canvas and the report stay easy to read.
Assign rooms to units
- Start the estimate as usual and describe the loss.
- As you scope each room, tell Wave which unit it belongs to. Something like "the kitchen and bath are in Unit 2B" is enough.
- You can also assign units after scoping. Just tell Wave in chat which rooms go with which unit.
That is all it takes. There is no separate multi-unit mode to turn on.
How the canvas changes
- Rooms are grouped under unit headers, with a subtotal for each unit.
- Rooms with the same name in different units are labeled with their unit in menus, for example "Kitchen (Unit 2B)". You always know which kitchen you are editing.
How the report changes
The exported PDF groups line items by unit, with a subtotal per unit. Photos are captioned with both the unit and the room, so an adjuster can match every photo to the right space. See Export reports and Customize reports.
Single-unit estimates are unchanged
Units only appear if you use them. A regular single-property estimate looks exactly as before, with no unit headers or unit subtotals.
