Overflow Estimating
Files route out when internal capacity is full, then route back in when it is not. No change to headcount.
Ongoing Estimating Support
Need an Xactimate Estimator Without Adding Another Full-Time Employee?
Adjusting firms, restoration companies, roofing contractors, and construction companies use Sodette Fox Xactimate Estimating & Consulting as flexible estimating capacity — engaged when volume demands it, without a permanent hire.
How Firms Use It
Estimating capacity that scales with your claim volume
Hiring a full-time estimator commits a firm to a fixed cost that claim volume rarely matches. Files arrive in waves. An outside Xactimate estimator absorbs those waves — engaged for the assignments that need covering, released when the queue clears.
High-Volume Periods
Storm season, catastrophe deployments, and sudden claim spikes handled without slowing the rest of the pipeline.
Estimator Backlogs
Aging assignments cleared so the queue returns to a workable state.
Ongoing Assignments
A predictable stream of files handled to a consistent standard, week over week.
Complex Losses
Multi-trade reconstruction, large commercial scopes, and files that need more than a quick pass.
Individual Files
One difficult claim, scoped and estimated properly — no ongoing commitment required.
What Stays Consistent
One standard across every file
Whether the engagement is a single loss or a steady assignment stream, scope development, line-item structure, and documentation follow the same approach — so your team knows exactly what arrives back and reviewers see a familiar format every time.
- Estimates written directly in Xactimate from documented scope
- Consistent line-item structure and scope notes across assignments
- Revisions and supplements supported as files develop
- Residential and commercial, across water, fire, smoke, wind, hail, storm, and roofing losses
- Pricing quoted by scope and complexity — no published rate card
