fixing estimating, workflows, and systems that quietly destroy margin in restoration.

I help restoration teams, estimators, and operations leaders bring clarity to Xactimate estimates, clean up handoffs from estimate to execution, and build systems that actually support how the work gets done.

Real-world reconstruction experience. No fluff. No theory.


How I help

Estimating Clarity & Margin Protection

Estimates that look fine on paper often fall apart once work starts - missed scope, weak logic, and margin erosion downstream.

  1. Xactimate scope and logic review

  2. Margin risk identification

  3. Execution-aware estimating

  4. Estimate rewrites when needed

For estimators and ops leaders who want confidence before an estimate goes out or gets approved.

Improve an estimate

Estimate → Execution Workflow Cleanup

The estimate gets approved… and then PMs, vendors, and crews are left guessing what it actually means.

  1. Translate XM8s into trade-specific work orders

  2. Organize scope by room, quantity, and execution reality

  3. Flag gaps and risks that will break purchasing or schedules

  4. Clean up handoffs between estimating, PMs, and the field

For teams tired of chaos between approval and build.

Fix the handoff

Systems & Operational Support

Growth exposes broken systems — and duct-taped tools only make it worse.

  1. Salesforce admin & workflow support

  2. Estimating / PM / purchasing system alignment

  3. Automation to remove manual work

  4. Advisory support for ops leaders

For leaders who need systems that reflect real operations, not just software defaults.
