Simplify Your ASCE 7-16 Compliance
Estimating Edge has introduced a new feature — Roof Perimeter 2 — in its software to further assist commercial roofing estimators. This feature simplifies compliance with ASCE 7-16, a key component of the International Building Code concerning structural loads.
The EDGE allows its users to switch between ASCE 7-16 standards and other standards using a simple toggle, streamlining the estimation process by reducing the need for manual recalculations. To date, The EDGE is one of the only programs with built-in ASCE 7-16 compliance.

Expert Advice on Choosing Software - New White Paper!
In a new white paper from RoofersCoffeeShop®, Jackie Hart and John Lombardo from Estimating EDGE, two longtime technology salespeople, give their expert advice on the five key considerations to make when selecting a new software. They also talk about the importance of helping roofing contractors understand what they need from estimating software.
Discovering what you need from software — including how it matches your company culture and vision — is a critical part of selecting software. Jackie and John discuss the importance of relationship sales that help roofing companies understand pain points and needs when it comes to their software.
“Our job is to take what they're working with and try to be in their world and understand what they're facing, the problems or the good things,” said John. “You've got to have your ears open and listen and try to understand what their position is.”
