Wind Mitigation Inspection Software for Florida — OIR-B1-1655 Ready

What a wind mitigation inspection covers

A wind mitigation inspection documents construction features that reduce wind damage risk during hurricanes. Florida insurance carriers offer significant premium discounts (often 10-40% on the wind portion) when these features are present and documented on the OIR-B1-1655 form.

The form has seven sections:

1. Building code — when the home was permitted, used to determine baseline wind resistance
2. Roof covering — material, installation date, FBC/Miami-Dade approval status
3. Roof deck attachment — fastener type, spacing (drives the biggest discount)
4. Roof-to-wall connection — toe nails, clips, single wraps, double wraps (drives the second-biggest discount)
5. Roof geometry — hip, gable, flat, other (hip qualifies for additional discount)
6. Secondary water resistance (SWR) — sealed roof deck or membrane
7. Opening protection — impact-rated windows, doors, garage doors, hurricane shutters

Every feature documented correctly is potential savings for the homeowner. Every feature documented incorrectly or incompletely means the carrier rejects the report or the discount doesn't apply.

How InspectorData speeds up wind mit reports

Walk the property and photograph the seven required pieces of evidence. The AI auto-categorizes each photo into the right OIR-B1-1655 section. For ambiguous shots, the inspector taps to assign — but most photos categorize correctly on the first try because the AI was trained on real wind mit photos.

The form auto-fills. Inspector reviews, edits anything that needs correcting, signs and finalizes. Output is a clean PDF in the format carriers expect.

What the AI knows

• Recognizes hip vs gable vs flat from a roof shot
• Identifies fastener type and spacing from attic deck photos
• Categorizes hurricane clips, single wraps, double wraps, toe nails from rafter-to-top-plate photos
• Flags impact-rated stickers on windows and doors
• Distinguishes hurricane shutters (panel, accordion, roll-up) from regular blinds

For each detected feature it suggests the appropriate form-section value and a comment. The inspector confirms or overrides.

Voice-to-text + offline

Voice-dictate observations as you walk the attic. Mobile app works offline — important for properties without wifi or signal during the inspection.

Why Florida wind mit inspectors switch software

Wind mit inspections are volume work. The same inspector might run 3-5 wind mits in a single day during peak season. Anything that adds 10 minutes per report at that volume costs an inspector $200-400/day in lost capacity.

The two recurring complaints from inspectors who switch to InspectorData:

1. Generic inspection software treats wind mit as an afterthought. The form is buried somewhere, photo organization is manual, and the layout doesn't match what carriers expect. Reports come back rejected because the inspector forgot one field three pages deep.
2. Standalone wind-mit-only tools don't integrate with the rest of the inspection business. Inspector keeps client lists in one place, scheduling in another, photos in a third. Two scheduling conflicts a month is one full-day inspection lost.

InspectorData solves both. The wind-mit template is first-class — equal weight as the full home inspection template — and it shares clients, photos, scheduling, and billing with everything else.
