The sketching tool is great to help with dimensions and calculations (I did always have trouble w. The search tool and descriptions helped me to find line items I otherwise might have forgotten to charge for. As this was my first job doing this sort of work it was the first time using the program, but I found it was fairly easy to pick up. I used it as a project manager under two GC's.

Xactimate is great for producing cost estimates contractors. And then we would have to call customer support and then entire process has taken 2-4 days in the past. In theory everything seemed pretty straightforward, but then we would have features that no longer worked, or jobs that we could not access using the updated version. We have had some major issues when attempting system upgrades over the years. This has become a real time savor for our business. We are now using Xactimate online and have recently learned that the newer iPhones with the Lidar would allow the estimator to draft an entire room in a fraction of the time that it used to take drawing it out by hand. Overall we really appreciate having access to this software and how well it works within our industry. And moving to the web based version allows our team to work directly from the jobsite in real time instead of having to take pictures and measure rooms with a tape measure and take all the data back to the office to sketch out. The time it takes us to generate an estimate for a project has been cut in half.
