Speeding up commercial roofing estimates

By Estimating Edge.

A powerful new integration streamlines estimates and gives contractors a competitive edge.

Speed and precision are the name of the game in commercial roofing and the latest partnership between Estimating Edge’s data imaging product, EDGE Smart Takeoff, and EagleView is set to redefine the estimating process. By merging AI-driven software with high-resolution aerial imagery, this collaboration eliminates the need for time-consuming site visits and manual measurements. The result? A faster, smarter and more efficient way for contractors to bid on projects with confidence — saving both time and money in an increasingly competitive industry.

Commercial roofing estimators can seamlessly upload EagleView’s high-resolution images and 3D digital structure data directly into EDGE Smart Takeoff, where quantities are automatically assigned. Once the information is completely configured, a 2D model is synced to The EDGE® estimating software, completing the estimate in minutes.   

By combining EagleView’s highly accurate measurements with EDGE Smart Takeoff’s AI-driven data extraction, users not only save precious time during the bidding process, but they also reduce the amount of time physically spent on a roof. From the imaging process to the final estimate, a site visit is not required to get the data that’s needed.   

“The EDGE’s collaboration with EagleView is a game-changer for estimators looking to speed up their workflow,” said Dave Chapman, sales director of Estimating Edge. "By simplifying the roofing estimating process, we’re not just saving our users time — we’re giving them a strong advantage in today’s competitive market."  

“With this powerful integration, contractors can create fast, accurate measurements to win more bids,” said Brady Campbell, vice president of business development for EagleView. “With the time saved creating takeoffs and automating material quantities, projects can be completed weeks faster, helping contractors scale their businesses.”  

This powerful combo is now available to those roofing estimators looking to build their bids from solid intelligence.
