Profit Maximization — T&M Strategy

Use T&M when scope uncertainty prevents fixed pricing; prove real construction cost.

cm eyes

Use T&M when damage extent unknown until demolition, hidden damage likely, access limitations, or carrier disputes scope.

T&M shifts approval from price debate to work verification. Document labor, time, materials to justify supplements.

When carrier disputes Xactimate: perform T&M work, track actual cost, demonstrate Xactimate is equal or cheaper than field cost.

Daily Documentation Rule

Every T&M job requires daily logs, crew count, hours, work performed, materials, progress photos, site conditions.

If not documented, it does not exist.
