Sample Estimating & Supplement Documentation

See how B.A.D. Estimating Solutions organizes residential repair scope, estimate differences, and supporting documentation into a package a contractor can review and submit.

This demonstration uses an existing estimate as a starting point for an original documentation example. It illustrates our approach rather than a completed client assignment.

Inside the demonstration package

Project and Scope Summary

An overview of the residential repair project, the information reviewed, and the areas requiring clarification.

Scope Difference Breakdown

A comparison of the starting estimate with potential changes identified during review. Each proposed change includes an explanation and its documentation requirements.

Supplement Summary

A concise explanation of proposed supplement items, grouped by trade so the reader can follow the requested changes.

Supporting Documentation References

An example of how photos, measurements, and documents are referenced to support individual items. Missing evidence is clearly identified.

Clear explanations. Traceable supporting information.

A useful supplement package connects each proposed change to the repair scope and available evidence. Our approach helps contractors see what changed, why it was proposed, and whether additional information is needed before submission.

The demonstration is illustrative. Potential supplement items require project-specific verification and supporting evidence; they do not establish coverage or guarantee approval.

What your project may include

Your agreed service package may include a Xactimate estimate in PDF and ESX formats, a supplement summary, a scope difference breakdown, and supporting documentation references.

Deliverables, pricing, turnaround, and revision expectations are confirmed for your assignment before work begins.
