The new ball game in Texas 5259 2
Started by Ray Hall
Many adjusters have worked IKE losses for TWIA. The TWIA price list is very reasonable and was intended to settle the rather small wind losses from IKE. Example the minimum roof repair is $500. this is about 350 to 400 more than the data base prices before IKE. Not many of these losses require a General Contractor and you do not see the usual mark up for this. But you see a whole loss of minimum roof repair, minimum siding repairs, minimum glass repairs, minimum electrician repairs and so forth...

Mac in Adjusting 9654 11
Started by iCAT
Good evening peeps. I have stumbled cross a wonderful computer called a Mac made by Apple Computers. I am experimenting with a macbook pro and I think it will work very well. The reasons are the screen it brighter, it processes better and you don't have wonderful problems with a windows PC. I don't know about you, but I get so tired of cranking up the ole laptop and my printer driver is missing. Or right in the middle of typing a long narrative; I look up to find my curser has jumped to another ...

Exporting estimating data? 15104 10
Started by Max Rahder
Hi there!
I'm writing to find out what popular estimating packages allow exporting data, ideally in XML.
I'm a software designer working for a construction and repair company. Throughout the year we have up to 40 crews working every day on jobs. The system I'm responsible for tracks these jobs by storing customer information (name, address, etc.), generating and tracking purchase orders, tracking job completion, and doing some A/R.
Naturally, these jobs typically start as an estimate. F...

Hi again boys and girls; it's been a long time since last I posted, and I thought I would pick your collective brain.

They are setting up a cabinet shop and starting to do some glasswork. Also, they are looking at green building tech, including photov...

Started by johnpostava
I am not sure if some of the calls we have been receiving here at simsol in the past&160;several weeks&160;have anything to do with the suit pending in Louisiana but some rather large carriers and IA firms are considering having 'back up' estimating platforms or at least allowing non-staff adjusters to use one of the&160;'approved' adjusting software platforms for cat claims and possibly daily work.&160;&160; This would be similar to working their claims for one of their 'approved' cat adju...

During Hurricane Katrina, my old faithful computer up and died.&160; My wife and I are both adjusters and we have been working claims jointly for over fifty years.&160; I decided to purchase two brand new Dell computers thinking and stupidly believing the advertising that they would make my life easier.&160; Almost two years later and God only knows the number of calls to India for tech support, I would have been better off with my old dead computer.

I would like to suggest a thread or (3), for the "potential" benefit of the catadjuster community, that attempts to stay focused on the "CatAdjuster" point of view. Let me know if this is not appropriate here.

Tic sheet, Compuestimate? 13950 10
Started by OdieWyatt
I want to make myself a tic sheet for Xactimate. I don't like the ones they have. I learned to scope on a program called compuestimate or compuclaim and it had a tic sheet for each room plus an exterior sheet, with scope items grouped from floor to ceiling. I still use the numerical shorthand for remove, install, paint (3/1/8), etc. regardless of which program I am using for estimating. Does anyone still have a tic sheet I could have a copy of. I kept some for years but now I can't find t...

VISTA hits the streets! 20906 40

The long and winding road (Vista review)
In most respects, Vista is a better Windows. But you'll need patience, money and a powerful system to upgrade. The overhaul isn't so dramatic that you couldn't hum along with XP awhile longer. Few folks ever enter surgery willingly.

Claim File Size Today 8886 15
Started by Gale Hawkins
Today we know especially due to hi res digital photos and other attachments to claim files that in megabytes (MB) that the size of claim files have grown over the years. This fact leads to changing needs for both estimating software and the storage of the electronic files for building claim profiles.
My question is what is the largest claim file that you can remember (in MB’s) that you have seen to this date If you can remember the format (mdb, SQL, PDF, etc) it would be helpful.

Folks if you are looking for a way to cut of the field adjuster just take a tour of what this $100 software package claims it can do. I have no idea if this works or not but you can bet in time it will work and be used by insurance carriers to aid the homeowner/business owner in gathering of the claims info for the email/telephone adjuster by having the insured just take a digital photo of the loss and this could work for underwriting as well. If you did not trust the homeowner you c...

XML Open Standard for Property Claims 5431 3
Started by Gale Hawkins
Now that different property claims handling software vendors are starting to develop around a XML Open Standard I went back to a discussion John started about 5 years ago where he talks about their use of XML in moving claim files between different software solutions for the purpose of data mining. His view and that of the others that posted 5 years ago shows how slow things have moved until very recently.
In CADO chat last night the question came up by an adjuster as to what does XML ...
