Xactimate-based estimates for storm, fire, and water damage claims, formatted the way adjusters and insurers expect.
Renovation & Remodel Estimating
Takeoffs and cost estimates for existing-building projects, accounting for demolition, existing conditions, and phased work.
- Service Overview
Estimating Built for the Realities of Renovation Work
Renovation and remodel projects come with variables new construction doesn’t: existing conditions, selective demolition, and work that has to happen around occupied space. Our estimates account for all of it, so your bid reflects the real scope, not just the drawings.
How We Prepare Your Estimate
Existing Conditions Review
We review drawings and, where available, site photos to understand existing conditions.
Demolition & New Work Takeoffs
Quantities are prepared separately for the demolition scope and the new construction.
Phased Cost Estimate
Costs are organized by phase where the project requires staged work.
Key Challenges Contractors Face
- Underestimating demolition and existing-condition work that isn’t fully shown on drawings.
- Pricing work that has to be phased around occupied space.
- Scope surprises that surface once the walls come open.
- Our Value
Why Contractors Trust Our Estimating Expertise
Contractors trust our renovation estimates because we account for existing conditions and demolition up front, not as an afterthought that shows up as a change order.
