The Missed Line Items Pack — Xactimate® Missed-Line-Item & Supplement Cheat Sheets

Your crew did the work. Your estimate should say so.

Most mitigation estimates leak money in the same places: the flood cut priced per square foot instead of per lineal foot. The equipment that ran for five days with no labor line next to it. The block & pad, the containment posts, the decon charge, the antimicrobial that ends up on a supplement three weeks later when it should have been on the first estimate.

This pack is the list of those lines — checked against real published sources, including Verisk’s own documentation — plus the supplement system that gets the rest paid: what to document, when, and the exact note structure adjusters approve.

It’s not a generic scope checklist. Those are free everywhere, and half of them list codes that don’t exist. This is the missed-items and supplement angle, written for the person who has to defend the number.

What’s inside

• Part 1 — The Missed Line Items. 60+ line items organized the way jobs run: water mitigation, equipment & monitoring, contents & protection, detach & reset, mold/hazmat, fire & smoke, and the rebuild smalls (toilet seats, cabinet pulls, door hardware — the lines that vanish between trades). Each one with the reason it gets missed.
• The overlap traps. Verisk publishes the QA rules carrier software runs against your estimate — stacked resets, double contents manipulation, felt overlap. Know them before the algorithm finds them.
• The fake-code warning. The free cheat sheets circulating online list codes like R501 and WTR_101. Those aren’t Xactimate codes. This pack shows you how to spot a fabricated sheet in five seconds.
• Part 2 — The Supplement Cheat Sheet. The ten supplement triggers, the documentation each one needs, and the four-part justification note pattern with fill-in templates for hidden damage, equipment days, code upgrades, and detach & reset.
• The tear sheet. A room-by-room final check to run before any mitigation estimate leaves your office.

Who it’s for

Estimators, project managers, and owners at restoration companies who write or review Xactimate scopes — especially the person who walks the job and writes the number. If you run mitigation and your supplements keep coming back short, this was built for you.

Not for homeowners, and not a certification course. It’s a working reference: 11 pages, print it, keep it at the estimating desk.

Details

• PDF, 11 pages, print-clean (markdown + HTML versions included in the source pack)
• Every code verified against a published source — trade press, trainer material, or Verisk’s own XactAnalysis documentation. Sources listed in the back.
• One honest caveat, printed in the pack itself: Xactimate updates price lists monthly. Confirm the selector in your current price list before it goes on a live estimate.

Price

$19. One blocked-and-padded room pays for this several times over. One approved supplement pays for a year of them.
