TL;DR
An insurance scope review is the line-by-line comparison of an adjuster's repair estimate against the actual damage and required work, performed by a restoration contractor or the policyholder's representative to catch omissions like code upgrades, hidden moisture damage, matching requirements, and missed trades. Differences go back as a supplement request with photos, moisture logs, and measurements as evidence.

An insurance scope review is the line-by-line comparison of an adjuster's repair estimate against the actual damage and required work, performed by a restoration contractor or the policyholder's representative to catch omissions like code upgrades, hidden moisture damage, matching requirements, and missed trades. Differences go back as a supplement request with photos, moisture logs, and measurements as evidence. Because carrier estimates are built in Xactimate, reviewers speak in its line items, and a thorough pass routinely changes claim value substantially.
