Xactimate

Xactimate is the industry-standard property damage repair cost estimating platform developed by Xactware, a subsidiary of Verisk Analytics. Originally founded in 1986 and acquired by ISO (now Verisk) in 2006, it is used by approximately 80% of insurance repair contractors and 19 of the top 25 U.S. property insurers. The platform provides a continuously updated regional pricing database covering materials, labor, and equipment for hundreds of geographies, enabling restoration contractors, roofers, painters, and general contractors to produce insurance-defensible estimates. Xactimate operates across desktop, web, and mobile and includes tools like Sketch AR (LiDAR-powered floor plan capture), XactScope (guided estimating), XactRebuild (mitigation-to-rebuild workflow automation), Time and Materials job cost tracking, and XactAnalysis for claims performance dashboards and workflow management.
