The Property, Documented
From Above.

A claim file needs to show the roof, and a ladder shows one slope at a time. A drone shows the whole property: every roof facet, every side of the structure, the yard, and the damage in context. LossMap is how 1st Choice Living puts that view in the file. It runs as its own brand with its own ordering site.

What LossMap delivers

Every shoot follows the same plan: the roof, oblique views, close details, the damage, and video, so files stay consistent from one property to the next. Packages build on each other:

• Roof only. A top-down orthomosaic of the roof, oblique aerials from the four cardinal directions, and roof facet and ridge detail.
• Standard Residential. Everything in the roof package, plus exterior 360 views, yard context, gutter, fascia, and soffit detail, and unedited video.
• Full Property. Built for severe damage and total losses, with a larger photo set, longer unedited video, and an annotated PDF available.
• Commercial. Multi-building and large-acreage sites, with flat and commercial roof orthomosaics, photo sets scaled to the property, recurring project scans, and thermal imagery available. Quoted per site.

The result is a branded web gallery tied to the property, with photos organized by section and a one-click download of every file. The gallery has a permalink, with an optional password, that can be forwarded to adjusters, underwriters, or contractors.

LiDAR 3D scanning is in development and is not available to order yet. The plan is a baseline scan of a property, then a re-flight after damage for a before and after comparison you can explore in a browser. Read about LiDAR on LossMap

How ordering works

Enter the property address, choose a package, and pick a preferred date. Pay by card or order against an adjuster account. A vetted pilot in that market is assigned and flies the shot list, and the gallery is delivered online. Flights need safe weather; if weather holds up a shoot, it is rescheduled at no cost. Adjuster and carrier accounts can use team accounts with shared billing, bulk prepaid credits, and net-30 terms.

Who uses it

How it fits a placement

When we place a travel trailer on a family’s property, our team documents site conditions when the unit is set and again when it is picked up. A LossMap shoot adds the view from above: the roof and exterior at the start of the file and, if you order a second shoot, the state of the property later on. The same named contact who runs the housing can order the shoot, so the aerial record and the placement record land in the same file. Each 1st Choice Living brand is also available on its own, so you can order LossMap for a property whether or not we are housing the family there.

The pilots

LossMap works with vetted local pilots. Every pilot holds an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate and carries commercial drone liability insurance, and LossMap verifies credentials at onboarding and checks renewals on a schedule. If you are a certified pilot and want to fly LossMap shoots, apply on the LossMap pilot page.
