At EagleView, we know the impact that technology can have on a business. From a more streamlined workflow to time and cost savings to improved on-the-job safety, technology is so often the solution.
Nowhere is this clearer than in roofing. Contractors often have many steps to go through to see a job to completion. And they all start with one crucial task: measuring a roof to prepare an estimate.
Where roofers were once required to climb a roof with a tape measure in hand to get roof measurements, technology makes this process so much simpler. Aerial roof measurements can deliver pinpoint accuracy to replace the time- and labor-intensive task of measuring a roof by hand.
EagleView roof measurement reports use patented technology to derive measurements and 3D property diagrams from aerial imagery. With detailed and guaranteed accurate roof takeoffs, roofers have everything they need to Bid with Confidence™ and win more jobs.
Why should roofers let technology give them a helping hand? A little bit of innovation can go a long way for roofers, bringing benefits such as:
What’s a typical roofer’s workflow like without technology? A roofer gets a call and schedules an appointment with the homeowner. That roofer then drives to the job site, measures the property, and then does the math to work out area, pitch, and other details. The roofer may keep the homeowner waiting for the estimate.
Human error can cost roofers. If they bid too high, they risk losing the customer. And if they bid too low, they lose profits and have to deal with setbacks like material shortages later on.
Using measurement data in an EagleView report, however, there’s no math to do on the job site or back at the office. Roofers can show up with measurements—and a bid—in hand when they first meet with the homeowner.
EagleView reports help roofers save time and get the accuracy they need to place the right bid. By bidding just right, they can win more jobs and boost their overall profit.
Climbing up onto an unfamiliar roof can be risky for even the most experienced roofers. Data from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reveals that workers between the ages of 45 and 55 are most likely to suffer a fatal fall on a construction job.
With aerial imagery included in every EagleView report, roofers can see a roof before they even set foot on the property. Aerial measurements can help roofers limit their time on the roof, so there’s less risk before a job can even begin.
Falls are the number one most common industry in the construction industry, but the good news is that they are entirely preventable. The National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction happens in just a few weeks to raise awareness for falls on the job. Take our quiz to see how your safety know-how stacks up.
