Why hire us as your remote estimate writer?

That is a question we asked ourselves before we ever started our scopeandestimate.com or scopeandestimates.com service.

We asked ourselves, Would we Hire Us? To answer this honestly we had to ask another question. What makes us different from others? Sure there were other estimate writers, we knew most of them ( one of which pioneered the industry he is missed) because as a contractor we had tried their services, for the remaining we inquired as to what they provided and for what price. We then determined exactly what we got for what we were paying for.   And that has made all the difference. We did our market survey, we determined what was missing from the existing services out there and we filled the void of what was missing.

We advise you to do the same with your ins=industry in order to keep up to date with your competition and to help distinguish you from the rest of the industry. It is not enough to remain content you must constantly adapt and improve to stay not just ahead but way ahead of the pack.

We determined that what was missing was personalized service, there was either very expensive estimate writers usually Independent Adjusters who were out of work or between assignments who had already paid for Xactimate so they decided to make some fun money.  But when the assignments came they were slow to respond or worse just closed up shop leaving their customers flat until the next slow season.

Or the assembly line estimate writers who usually had outside the U.S. employees use macros and then just wait till the complaints or revisions had to be handled.

Either way this did not help the Insured, Contractor, Attorney or Adjuster who needed reasonable prices for top notch professional estimates. In fact it made it harder for us to approach new customers after the other less competent companies had burned them.

Well we started what we called the first “boutique” estimate writing service. All our estimate writers had to have not only xactimate skills, but also field experience in determining damage, the proximate cause and origin and documenting these. We found no course available at the time. So we innovated and created our own course for our employees. it included IICRC certification, xactimate training, field scoping, documenting with images to tell a story, collection of evidence. We also were one of the first to employ Matterport for scanning scenes.

We individually assigned estimate writers to accounts so you are dealing with the same professional estimate writer. More imprtantly we are based in the Central time zone so we are available when the work is being performed wherever the work is being performed. That’s right you can call from the job-site to ask questions or add photos or send an image to clarify scope. We take the time on the front end so your claim gets paid on the back-end.
