Assisted aerial takeoff

Confirm the building. Measure the roof.

One click from the job: confirm the roof, get a measured takeoff with classified linework drawn on the aerial photo, and a suggested material order from your own catalog. Every number carries its source.

A building footprint confirms scope only. Eaves, rakes, ridges, hips, valleys, facets, and pitch require qualified measured evidence.

How the work moves

A measured result has to earn the label.

The address locates the work. Building confirmation sets the scope. The best qualified public evidence supplies the geometry, and the record says which source that was.

  1. Step 1

    Confirm the right building

    Use the job address as a starting point, then confirm the roof scope before analysis begins.

  2. Step 2

    Keep the calibrated capture

    Save the selected imagery source, attribution, capture facts, and reviewed scope together.

  3. Step 3

    Measure from the best public evidence

    Qualified public LiDAR (USGS 3DEP and NOAA Digital Coast) measures the roof in 3D. Where LiDAR cannot, Google Solar supplies measured pitch and area with clearly labeled derived linework.

  4. Step 4

    Review the result, its source, and its gaps

    Measured geometry, labeled estimates, unavailable fields, and field verification stay visibly distinct, and the takeoff carries a suggested material order built from your own catalog.

Next step

Start from the address. Keep the evidence attached.

Open the job, confirm the intended building, and review the available measurement path.

Availability depends on the saved scope, feature access, quota, service state, and qualifying public LiDAR coverage.
