Commercial Workshop with Tom McGuire
This session unites all prior concepts by demonstrating how commercial restorers can harness the power of existing data to elevate project performance and operational efficiency. By applying straightforward, data-based formulas, commercial restoration professionals can turn past and current project information into valuable insights that strengthen project management well before a loss event occurs. Understanding historical and real-time performance metrics enables restorers to set realistic expectations, establish measurable production goals, streamline communication and documentation, and accurately create project ROMs, budgets, and loss reserves. These proactive, data-informed strategies foster trust, transparency, and consistency throughout the recovery process. The session features live demonstrations on ROM creation, examples of how leading restorers are managing data daily, and practical handouts with formulas ready for immediate use. Time permitting, participants will engage in open discussions to identify key pain points and collaboratively develop effective, field-tested solutions.
