Question 1

What is AI Restoration Estimator?

Accepted Answer

A controlled restoration workflow that turns captured field information into structured scope, measurement review, company budgets, approvals, and documented outputs.

Question 2

Is it an insurance estimating platform?

Accepted Answer

No. It produces a company budget and supporting records. It is not presented as a completed insurance estimate or a replacement for required carrier or estimating-platform workflows.

Question 3

Does it replace an estimator?

Accepted Answer

No. Estimators, project managers, and managers remain responsible for reviewing scope, measurements, specifications, prices, and final outputs.

Question 4

Does it create a budget automatically?

Accepted Answer

It can generate a draft from accepted scope, approved measurements, company rules, and valid prices. Unresolved work remains visible and prevents a misleading final status.

Question 5

What happens when information is missing?

Accepted Answer

The missing specification, rate, mapping, bid, or approval remains visible. Missing prices are not represented as zero.

Question 6

Can each company use its own pricing and rules?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The current workflow supports company catalogs, mappings, packages, allowances, and job-specific pricing while separating company workspaces.

Question 7

Who approves PM-entered pricing?

Accepted Answer

An owner or estimating manager can approve or return the exact PM price revision. The PM cannot approve their own entry.

Question 8

Can it use dictated scopes?

Accepted Answer

Typed capture and supported voice or audio capture are available. Real phone capture and recovery remain under field verification and are not claimed as fully verified.

Question 9

Can it import measurements?

Accepted Answer

The application includes measurement import and review workflows. Availability and file compatibility should be confirmed for the source your company uses.

Question 10

Does it integrate with Xactimate?

Accepted Answer

Direct Xactimate integration or export is not presented as available. Mapping and related workflow needs are being researched.

Question 11

Does it integrate with DocuSketch or Matterport?

Accepted Answer

Those integrations are being evaluated or developed and are not presented as currently available.

Question 12

What files can it export?

Accepted Answer

Current outputs include transcript PDF, structured scope workbook, budget PDF, budget spreadsheet, and budget-versus-estimate spreadsheet workflows.

Question 13

How does early access work?

Accepted Answer

A restoration company submits its current workflow and primary problem. We review fit and contact teams when the current program is relevant; submission does not guarantee acceptance.

Question 14

Who is the product for?

Accepted Answer

Restoration owners, project managers, estimators, and field teams working through reconstruction scope, measurements, company budgets, review, and handoff.
