Xactimate Code PNT|PNTBMS — Painting

What it is

PNT|PNTBMS is a Painting (PNT) Xactimate SEL code used for this work, measured in square feet (SF).

ESXPress’s reference documents PNT|PNTBMS. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 6 line items written against this code — every one measured in SF. The line appears in 6 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 1.7%).

When to use it

Use PNT|PNTBMS when the scope calls for this code — Painting work measured in square feet (SF). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 4 of the 6 observed line items (66.7%) were written with this code.

PNT|PNTBMS is written more than one way in the processed scopes: “Stain and finish wood beam” (2 of 6 line items, 33.3%). Spelling, spacing, and qualifiers vary between adjusters — which is why ESXPress normalises act text when mapping scopes.

How to use it

Measure the work in SF: 6 of the 6 observed line items (100.0%) used SF. There is no unit variation for this code in the processed scopes.

This code accounts for 4 of the 6 sampled lines (66.7%). Estimators also write “Stain and finish wood beam” (2 lines).

Real-world examples

Each example is an anonymised line from a processed claim scope: the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters wrote, with the observed line-item count. The count is line frequency across the analysed samples — never a price and never a quantity from a specific claim.

• In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Stain and finish wood beam”, SF, qty 2.
