2 Replies and 5259 Views 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...

11 Replies and 9654 Views 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 ...

10 Replies and 15104 Views 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...

0 Replies and 4868 Views Software for fabrication shops  4868  0 Started by  CATdawg Hi again boys and girls; it's been a long time since last I posted, and I thought I would pick your collective brain. I'm doing consulting for a firm in Ft. Worth that is expanding its capabilities; their specialties now are concrete flatwork and concrete countertops and some general homebuilding stuff (windows & doors, tilework, outdoor kitchens, pergolas). They are setting up a cabinet shop and starting to do some glasswork. Also, they are looking at green building tech, including photov...

4 Replies and 5339 Views Web Based Software Requirements  5339  4 Started by  claimbuddy 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.  Large teams do not usually produce anything productive, fast....so....I suggest that as soon as we begin to develop a couple of different variations of "good ideas" we split the threads and allow the people that see things one way to work on that &...

10 Replies and 13949 Views Tic sheet, Compuestimate?  13949  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...

(Topic has multiple pages1 2 3 )
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/edwardbaig/2007-01-24-vista_x.htm   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.

15 Replies and 8885 Views Claim File Size Today  8885  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.

11 Replies and 7688 Views iPhotoMEASURE - Impact on Adjusting?  7688  11 Started by  Gale Hawkins 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...

3 Replies and 5430 Views XML Open Standard for Property Claims  5430  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 ...
