Estimate Review & Reconciliation Services
Independent Technical Review of Property Damage Estimates
Detailed Estimate Analysis & Comparison
Tim Farmer Consulting provides professional reviews of property damage estimates for residential and commercial losses. We analyze Xactimate estimates and supporting documentation to identify discrepancies in repair scopes, quantities, labor, materials, equipment, and associated costs.
Our review process includes comparing competing estimates, identifying omitted or unsupported work, and evaluating appropriate repair methodologies. Drawing on more than 18 years of restoration industry experience, we provide detailed technical findings supported by documented property conditions, applicable industry standards, and sound estimating practices.
Our Review Services
Independent Estimate Reviews
We conduct detailed technical reviews of property damage estimates to evaluate the accuracy and completeness of the documented scope of work. Our analysis considers repair methodologies, material quantities, labor requirements, equipment, pricing, and applicable industry standards. We identify discrepancies and provide supporting explanations based on the available documentation.
Comparative Xactimate Estimates
When requested, we develop independent Xactimate estimates to provide a detailed comparison against existing estimates. Our evaluations incorporate property inspections, photographs, Matterport documentation, measurements, and relevant technical reports to establish supported repair scopes and associated costs.
Technical Reconciliation & Rebuttal Support
We provide detailed comparisons of competing estimates, identifying differences in repair scopes, quantities, methodologies, and pricing. Our technical findings include supporting documentation and written explanations addressing disputed line items. When appropriate, we also prepare technical rebuttals to clarify differences and support accurate estimating conclusions.
Our Review Methods
Remote Estimate Review & Analysis
When sufficient documentation is available, we conduct detailed estimate reviews remotely. We evaluate Xactimate estimates, photographs, Matterport (or 360 scans), measurements, mitigation documentation, engineering reports, and other relevant information to identify differences in repair scopes, quantities, methodologies, and associated costs.
Onsite Inspection & Documentation
When additional documentation or verification of property conditions is necessary, we conduct onsite inspections. Our evaluations may include detailed photography, measurements, Matterport 3D scanning, and assessment of relevant construction conditions. This information supports the development of accurate comparative estimates and documented technical findings.
Benefits of Our Review Services
Identifying Scope Discrpancies
Our detailed estimate reviews identify missing repair activities, inaccurate quantities, inconsistent repair methodologies, and unsupported scope items. We evaluate these differences against available documentation, property conditions, and applicable industry standards to establish accurate and comprehensive repair requirements.
We evaluate labor, materials, equipment, and associated costs to determine whether estimates accurately reflect the necessary scope of work. Our technical analysis helps identify pricing discrepancies and supports reliable project budgeting, cost assessments, and informed decision making.
Accurate Cost Evaluation
Documented Technical Findings
We provide clear, detailed explanations of differences between estimates, supported by photographs, measurements, technical reports, and applicable industry standards. Our findings help clients understand disputed items and provide a documented basis for technical reconciliation and necessary estimate revisions.
