I used it as a project manager under two GC's. As this was my first job doing this sort of work it was the first time using the program, but I found it was fairly easy to pick up. The search tool and descriptions helped me to find line items I otherwise might have forgotten to charge for. The sketching tool is great to help with dimensions and calculations (I did always have trouble w. Hawaii Contractors Reference Manual Ninth Edition Celebrating on this page. Stair cases for some reason though). Prices updated regularly and the print out is easy to read and understand for customers as well.
Very straight forward and not confusing. Overall I'd recommend this product to any mitigation and restoration team and to contractors. Antichrist Full Movie Torrent Download.
Hello all, We started using Xactimate last year in an effort to minimize haggling over repair cost's with insurance adjuster and companies. After getting started we started noticing that the price list Xactimate provided us was much different in cost's then price list's used by several insurance companies. We made a note of those price list codes and attempted to download them from Xacatimate, using the download custom price list option to no avail. We were very wrong in thinking we'd get agreed pricing much easier once we started using Xactimate.
Instead we found ourselves saying things like; These are the prices provided to us by Xactimate, why don't you just pay based on those prices. We can't explain why the insurance company you work for has its own special price list. -and- The Xactimate price list we've been given is considered to be fair and comprehensive pricing for a reputable contractor to perform the repairs your paying for. It's irrelevant that you say 20 other contractors are willing to do the work for your pricing, just like its irrelevant when an adjuster says, it doesn't matter that every house in the neighborhood got a new roof, this roof will get replaced on the merit of its own damage. Something is not right. Is it illogical to expect the price list for a contractor to be the same as the one the insurance company uses if the sources for both are from the same pricing company? Why does the insurance company deserve to have a price list that reflects significantly lower pricing and not make that available to contractors?
Was this price list paid for? Did the insurance company(s) just dictate to Xactware the pricing for their price list? Confused and disillusioned once again. Any feedback or insight would be helpful.
Xactimate cannot give pricing on everything. Its a good starting point. The one thing I do like about it is that it allows the adjusters and gc's to have a common definition of line items. Pricing has always been a point of argument during settlement and I suspect it will be even after Xactimate is replaced with the newest shiny magic bullet iin claim settlement. It all comes down to a legitimate price. If you are a gc then make sure you have supportive documentation for why your price is what it is and defend it.
If you are an adjuster then understand LOCAL market conditions impact the Xactimate price. Mark, I just happened to be reading another thread on the forums when I recieved notification that you responded. Hence the fast reply. I realize that Xactimate can't provide pricing on everything, but my point of contention is that the price list provided to me as a default and the price list State Farm or other insurance companies use are completely differant. Exact same line items, ie RFG300, but two differant prices.
And of course you can't download State Farms price list. If Xactimate is supposed to be fair for contractors and insurance carriers alike why the price list differances. I guess it's not fair. Russ, I think maybe I did not explain my point very well. I agree that the carrier using their own Xactimate price list instead of the regional one published by Xactimate is not fair. However having a common line item description such as Xactimates is extremely helpful when negotiating the final price with the carrier.
