October 2011 Price List Update Now Available

LONDON—6 Oct. 2011— The October 2011 price list updates for the nine regional pricing databases in the U.K. and the two for the Republic of Ireland are now available for download.

As an international leader in estimating and management solutions for the property insurance, refurbishment, and restoration industries, Xactware publishes quarterly price list updates to give insurers and contractors access to updated local rates for thousands of building and repair line items. Xactware gathers cost information contained in these schedules from live estimates as they are processed as well as from frequent surveys with labour and material suppliers.

Local market conditions

Xactware makes every effort to ensure pricing information contained in the most recent update represents market costs at the time of publication. Since actual market prices can vary and may change rapidly, and since many factors can affect the cost of a project (including — but not limited to — labour, plant, and material costs as well as the rates and application of VAT), we strongly recommend customers monitor their local markets for any such changes and adjust their estimate pricing as deemed appropriate.

Pricing feedback

Please report any price changes to Xactware as soon as possible. We will then adjust any information that can be independently verified for inclusion in future price list publications. Pricing feedback can be submitted from Xactimate and online at www.xactnet.com/feedback. You can also send emails directly to Xactware's Pricing Team at:

• ukpricing@xactware.com for U.K. inquires
• roipricing@xactware.com for Ireland inquires
