About Xactimate

The industry standard for property estimating

Xactimate brings scoping, sketching, pricing, documentation, and estimating into one connected workflow. Contractors, restoration professionals, and property-claims teams use it to create clear, organized estimates.

What Xactimate helps you do

One workflow for the work behind every estimate

From the first inspection through the finished estimate, Xactimate brings important property-claim tasks together in one place.

01

Scope and document losses

Record measurements, affected areas, notes, and supporting details as the scope develops.

02

Build detailed estimates

Organize line items, quantities, calculations, and supporting information into a professional estimate.

03

Work with localized pricing

Begin with researched pricing information for the project location, then account for actual job conditions.

04

Sketch properties

Diagram rooms, roofs, exteriors, and other areas while carrying measurements into the estimate.

05

Manage project records

Keep photos, documents, notes, and estimate information associated with the correct project.

06

Account for project variables

Address labor, materials, waste, depreciation, and other variables that affect the completed estimate.

Xactimate sketching

Turn measurements into an organized property model

Xactimate Sketch helps estimators represent rooms, roofs, exteriors, and other areas while connecting dimensions to the estimating workflow.

  • Visualize the structure and affected areas.
  • Carry measurements into estimate quantities.
  • Keep the sketch connected with the rest of the project record.
Integrated pricing

A consistent starting point for each estimate

Pricing lists help estimators begin with researched cost information for a selected geographic area. The estimate can then be adjusted for the actual scope and conditions of the project.

  • Use location-specific pricing information.
  • Reduce repetitive item-by-item research.
  • Maintain a more consistent estimating process.
  • Adjust pricing when real project conditions require it.
