Home / 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.
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.
Scope and document losses
Record measurements, affected areas, notes, and supporting details as the scope develops.
Build detailed estimates
Organize line items, quantities, calculations, and supporting information into a professional estimate.
Work with localized pricing
Begin with researched pricing information for the project location, then account for actual job conditions.
Sketch properties
Diagram rooms, roofs, exteriors, and other areas while carrying measurements into the estimate.
Manage project records
Keep photos, documents, notes, and estimate information associated with the correct project.
Account for project variables
Address labor, materials, waste, depreciation, and other variables that affect the completed estimate.
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.
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.
