Abstract: A method and system for generating interpreted damage estimate information. The steps of generating an interpretation of repair operations consists of selecting a interpretation template from a plurality of interpretation templates, reading a damage estimate file, identifying one or more nomenclature in said damage estimate containing repair operations, determining the sections or groups' contained in said damage estimate file, identifying common section indices for the identified sections or groups, retrieving repair/refinish/replacement parts interpretations that consist of a common section index, related repair/refinish/replacement interpretation, interpreted section header, associated graphical images, and creating a displayable repair interpretation file.
