GPStimate
GPStimate, an AI assisted estimating platform built for roofing contractors. Designed by veteran commercial estimators and roofing business owners, GPStimate replaces spreadsheets, measuring wheels and disconnected tools with AI assistance, aerial takeoffs and automated product documentation.
In commercial roofing, one miscalculation or missed warranty requirement can wipe out a project's margin. GPStimate addresses that with a human-in-the-loop approach: the AI handles measurements and paperwork, and the estimator verifies and approves every number. The platform is built to support estimators, not replace them. They spend less time on data entry and more time building accurate, competitive bids.
"In a typical roofing operation, the noise is deafening — changing building codes, broken Excel formulas, scattered manufacturer documents and fragmented supplier data," said Kenn Furr, CEO and co-founder of GPStimate. "Our mission is simple: more signal, less noise. GPStimate works like noise-canceling headphones for estimators. It mutes the manual busywork so contractors can focus on what drives their business — winning high-margin jobs and executing them well."
Detail Builder and roofing assemblies
Our customizable Detail Builder helps estimators account for the components and accessories required for a roofing estimate. Contractors can build assemblies that reflect their installation standards and save them as templates for future projects. The system identifies missing components associated with manufacturer warranty eligibility and can suggest additions. This helps estimators work from a more complete assembly rather than piecing an estimate together one component at a time.
- Custom roofing assembly creation
- Contractor-specific installation standards
- Reusable assembly templates
- Manufacturer-required component tracking
- Warranty eligibility alerts
Edmond AI estimating assistant
Edmond is our AI estimating assistant for accessing roofing product, technical and safety information. It can retrieve manufacturer warranty requirements, product data sheets, safety data sheets and installation guides. Edmond also answers compliance questions in plain language. The assistant is available around the clock for estimators working outside standard business hours.
- Manufacturer warranty requirements
- Product data sheets
- Safety data sheets
- Installation guides
- Plain-language compliance information
AI-assisted commercial roofing takeoffs
Our proprietary segment model uses computer vision to interpret roof geometry directly from uploaded plans and high-resolution aerial imagery. AI measures the roof components, while the estimator reviews and approves the measurements before they are included. The platform accepts PDF plans, CAD files, high-resolution aerial photography and satellite imagery. Most commercial takeoffs are measured in under two minutes, according to the website.
- AI-assisted commercial roofing measurements
- Computer vision roof geometry interpretation
- Estimator review and approval
- Support for PDF plans and CAD files
- Support for aerial and satellite imagery

Custom roofing catalogs and pricing
Our catalog database allows contractors to maintain customized products, pricing and assemblies. Existing pricing data can be exported from another system as a CSV and imported into the platform. The importer maps columns automatically and flags discrepancies for review. Contractors can also start with preloaded manufacturer catalogs and add their negotiated pricing for job costing.
- Drag-and-drop CSV importing
- Automatic column mapping
- Discrepancy flagging and review
- Company-specific products and pricing
- Preloaded manufacturer catalogs
