Scope Estimating Writing
Scopes & Estimating Built Around the Actual Loss
1st Property Estimating and Consulting provides fully remote scope writing and estimating support for restoration contractors. We collaborate with your team to prepare clear, detailed, carrier-ready Xactimate scopes based on the actual project conditions, documentation, and required repairs.
You do not need to know Xactimate or the claim process in detail. All we need are the basics of the project, photos, documentation, and any available carrier estimate or scope. From there, we help organize the file, write the scope, and support the claim process from a contractor-focused perspective.
Whether we are writing a scope from scratch or supplementing an adjuster’s estimate that falls short, our goal is to capture all legitimate and properly supported line items, refine the scope to match the project conditions, and help protect the revenue your company has already earned.
With hands-on restoration and construction experience, advanced Xactimate knowledge, and a strong understanding of insurance claim procedures, 1st Property helps bridge the gap between the jobsite and the claim file.
- Clear Estimates Backed by Restoration Experience
Every project is reviewed individually. We do not rely on a one-size-fits-all scope or enter line items without considering the conditions behind them.
Whether you need a preliminary estimate, a final invoice, or an estimate prepared from the ground up, our goal is to provide a clear and organized file that supports your project and helps reduce unnecessary delays during review.
