A 168-page practitioner's book by Kris Rzesnoski of Encircle, approved for five IICRC continuing-education credits, arguing one point: in restoration, proof is what gets you paid. Twelve chapters start with the legal paperwork every restorer should hold — work authorisations, waivers, change orders, health and safety questionnaires, completion certificates, lien notices, subcontract agreements — then work through scoping for estimates, protecting the back end of the business, large losses, contents, report writing, and closing a job with payment in hand.
Why a contractor cares. It is the most directly practical item here on field documentation: what to capture, when to capture it, and which form has to be signed before work begins.
Why a public adjuster cares. It is the mirror image of your own file. It sets out what a competent restorer's documentation should contain, which is the measure of whether a scope is supported — though it comes from a software vendor, so read the process apart from the product.
