Estimating in the World of Insurance Restoration

Last week, we had a great class at the Restoration Technical Institute, Estimatics 101.  We taught the fundamentals of good estimate writing.  Estimate writing is an art.  A solid estimating skill set and technique can be easily adapted to many software programs and platforms. 

How can there be different prices for the same repair?  The following are the main sources of differences in estimates. 

1.  Scope of Work

 A.  Dimensions and Measurements

 B.   Depth of Work

2. Use of Different Software 

    Systems and/or  databases for unit costs

3. Different Grade Selections by Estimator

4. Minimum charges, custom features, unique items. 

Share with us other areas that you find result in differences in estimates.
