With Encircle Scope to Estimate, you’ll go from field documentation to a first draft Xactimate estimate in minutes. Once you’ve captured the job in Encircle with a damage description, photos, daily notes, moisture readings, and a floor plan, tap “Generate Scope”, and Encircle AI turns that field data into a complete defensible mitigation scope. You get a project narrative, room by room tasks, and IICRC aligned justification for every line item. It catches the line items, equipment needs, and other unique details that are easy to miss when scoping from memory, So you don’t leave money on the table and adjusters have less to push back on. Review and edit, then click send to Xactimate. Your sketch and line items land right in Xactimate quantities included Your estimator now picks up where the AI left off, reviewing and refining instead of building from scratch. That’s a defensible Xactimate estimate in minutes, not days. Describe it Document it Scope it Send it Review it Done. Book a demo today!
A tech documents the loss in the field. Then someone re-types it into Xactimate, line by line, after they’re already back at their desk.
Stacked onto an already full day, after the real work is done.
Built from memory and partial notes, so billable items get missed.
Quality depends on who picked up the job, which makes it hard to scale.
Or the shortcut
An estimate with nothing behind it
A wave of fast, fly-by-night AI estimating tools will hand back a line-item estimate in seconds — no photo, no reading, no note tying it back to the loss. It’s fast, but there’s nothing for an adjuster to check it against, so the dispute just moves later in the process.
How it works
From field data to an Xactimate estimate
The same documentation your team already captures, finally put to work.

It is easy and quick. It gives you at least 90-95% of the scope and is pretty much on target. It saves time when trying to share with adjusters or estimators.
The trade-off is over
Fast, optimized and defensible estimates. Encircle Scope makes all three the default.
Encircle Scope to Estimate turns the documentation your crew already captures into two things: a complete, IICRC-aligned mitigation scope, and an Xactimate estimate. Here’s what’s actually happening under the hood.
Trained on restoration, not the internetGeneric AI guesses. Encircle AI understands emergency restoration workflows, affected materials and damage context. Whether it’s a flooded basement, a mold remediation or a car through a living room wall, it generates a scope that reflects the reality of the job.
Covers all emergency mitigationRegardless of job type, Scope automatically identifies the necessary tasks for water damage, board-ups, roof tarping, mold remediation, asbestos abatement and fire restoration.
Built-in IICRC defensibilityEvery scope includes narrative reasoning and justification cited directly against IICRC standards (S500, S520, S700), giving your estimator the ammunition they need to defend every line item.
Integrated with field documentationEverything lives inside the Encircle platform. No extra apps. No extra effort. No more paper tick sheets. You do the documentation, we’ll create the scope.
One click export to XactimateNewThe next chapter of Scope sends your scope, and the floor plans behind it, into Xactimate as a first-draft estimate. Sketches, room-by-room line items, and custom items for anything that doesn’t match a standard line, all there for your estimator to review. No re-keying. No rebuilding sketches. No fighting macros.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Scope to Estimate exports directly into Xactimate as a ready-to-edit estimate—your line items, already organized and ready for your expert review. That used to mean transferring everything by hand, matching scope language to line items one by one. Now it’s one click away.
A scope of work outlines the specific details of a property loss, including what happened and why specific tasks are necessary to return the property to pre-loss condition. An estimate is a priced list of line items derived from that scope that indicates how much the work will cost. Encircle Scope focuses on generating a defensible, IICRC-aligned scope of work so that your estimators have a structured foundation to build upon.
Generic AI is designed for text generation and often “hallucinates” or invents incorrect data to appear complete. Encircle Scope is a purpose-built restoration intelligence engine that prioritizes accuracy over guesswork. It cross-references your field documentation with IICRC S500, S520, and S700 standards to ensure every line item is justified and defensible, calling out assumptions rather than making them up.
Encircle Scope is designed for all types of emergency residential mitigation jobs, including water, fire, mold, asbestos, and impact losses. The system uses built-in restoration logic to automatically identify necessary tasks—such as Category 3 protocols for sewage backups—ensuring standards are maintained regardless of the peril.
Yes. When room dimensions are provided via Encircle Floor Plan, Hydro, or field notes, Encircle Scope automatically calculates equipment recommendations based on IICRC S500 standards. By using exact dimensions rather than rounded “shortcuts,” it provides highly accurate calculations for air movers and dehumidifiers (PPD).
Encircle Scope is designed to work at different stages of a job. Within minutes of arrival, 4–6 photos and a brief damage note can generate a high-level preliminary scope. For a comprehensive, quantified scope, we recommend 10+ photos per room, a floor plan for measurements, and detailed room-specific notes to ensure 80-90% of job variables are captured on Day 1.
Yes. The Encircle AI engine can analyze thermal images (like FLIR) to help identify moisture patterns. It also recognizes photo markups, flagging them as important attributes to ensure the technician’s specific intent is conveyed accurately in the generated scope.
Encircle Scope uses the IICRC S500, S520, and S700 as its primary logic baseline. Additionally, it incorporates OSHA and EPA standards for hazardous materials like asbestos and lead. The final output includes specific justifications and standard references, providing restorers with the evidence needed to defend their work against carrier pushback.
