Q: What is Bidwrite Consulting?
A: Bidwrite Consulting is an exciting new concept that offers assistance to companies in need of estimating support.

Q: Who can Bidwrite Consulting help?
A: Any type of restoration or construction contractor that has a need for fast and accurate estimates. Insurance, public or private adjusters that find a need to hire a consultant to write a competitive estimate. Real estate brokers who buy and sell homes and have a need for accurate estimates.

Q:What is the process?
A: Bidwrite will represent your company at all times. We visit the job site, scope the damage, take plenty of pictures and write a professional estimate, using Xactimate, that you can provide to your client.

Q:What is Xactimate?
A: Xactimate is the most commonly used estimating program for the restoration industry. Contractors using Xactimate will receive their estimate through an ESX file allowing them to input Bidwrite's estimate into their personal Xactimate and add their heading, contact info and personal name as well as make changes.

Q: What if I do not have Xactimate?
A: If a contractor needs a finished estimate ready to submit to their client, Bidwrite can input the contractors heading and information and present a finished estimate. The estimate will be sent in a PDF file ready to print and submit.

  • restoration contractors
  • construction contractors
  • insurance adjusters
  • real estate brokers
