11/1/2007
“Thermal imaging” and FLIR infrared cameras are now a line item select in Xactimate®, the premier estimating software used by building, construction, cleaning, and restoration professionals.
Boston, Massachusetts (November 1, 2007) – The Fourth Quarter 2007 Xactware Solutions, Inc., Xactimate Updated Price List now includes thermal imaging as a line item select, which gives construction and restoration professionals the ability to provide a thorough and competitive estimate to customers and prospects. The Xactimate price list also allows professionals to specify use of FLIR Systems infrared cameras when bidding projects. “This new addition to the Xactimate estimating software solution is further evidence that infrared cameras offer a valuable bidding tool and differentiator for building, construction, cleaning, and restoration specialists,” said David Francoeur, director of marketing for FLIR Systems, Inc. “Infrared cameras have proven to help contractors decrease their liability by documenting infrared images at particular job sites. They have also helped contractors develop new ways to deliver competitive services.” Thermal imaging or infrared cameras are widely used in the cleaning and restoration market for identifying areas where water damage may have occurred. FLIR Systems, the global leader in infrared cameras, manufactures infrared cameras for the cleaning and restoration markets and other building science based applications. Infrared cameras are increasingly becoming a popular tool in the restoration market because they offer a non-destructive way to test and quickly "scan" for the presence of moisture. FLIR’s B-series infrared cameras are made specifically for cleaning and restoration professionals. The cameras include built-in dew point alarm functionality, which makes it easy to find water problems, verify dry-out, find missing insulation, and pinpoint building defects in real time. Xactimate software, produced by Xactware®, is the industry leading estimating software used by insurance providers, restoration contractors and remodelers. By including "Thermal Imaging" as a line item, users of infrared cameras and Xactimate software, can more easily recoup their camera investment by charging for their premium infrared services. The Thermal Imaging line item is referenced under WTRTHERM-Thermal Imaging-BID ITEM in the newest release.
