Reading Scope Context in an Xactimate Estimate

When translating physical measurements into the software Sketch tool, the full wall linear footage must accurately distinguish exterior perimeter assemblies from interior partition walls to calculate proper insulation and finish quantities.

Determining the specific scope requires applying standardized field protocols to avoid unnecessary demolition while ensuring complete restoration:

• Cut Height Standard: Minimum 24-inch continuous flood cut along 18 LF south wall to expose stud cavities and allow airflow.
• Trim Removal: Detach and dispose of 18 LF water-impacted MDF baseboard plus adjacent corner returns (total 22 LF).
• Cavity Inspection: Remove R-13 fiberglass batts within the 2-foot bottom cavity along the exterior framing line.
