The Coffee Shops® welcome GPStimate!

GPStimate provides AI-assisted takeoff and estimating software designed for roofing contractors.

The Coffee Shops®, the award-winning online communities where the industries meet for technologies, safety, information and education for the construction trades of roofing, metal, coatings and outdoor living are pleased to welcome GPStimate into their community.

GPStimate combines computer vision, customizable catalogs, assembly-based estimating and AI-assisted access to product, warranty and compliance information. Its platform is designed to streamline the estimating process while keeping estimator review incorporated into takeoffs.

From this company, you can expect:

• AI-assisted takeoffs: GPStimate uses computer vision to interpret roof geometry from plans and high-resolution aerial imagery, with estimator review built into the process.
• Customized catalog tools: estimators can import company-specific products, pricing and assemblies through a CSV importer and work from preloaded manufacturer catalogs.
• Assembly-based estimating: The Detail Builder helps estimators capture components and accessories within reusable assemblies while identifying missing components related to warranty eligibility.
• Edmond AI: GPStimate’s estimating assistant provides access to product and safety data sheets as well as manufacturer and code requirements.
• Multiple measurement sources: the platform can work with PDF plans, computer-aided design (CAD) files, high-resolution aerial imagery and satellite imagery.
• Human-in-the-loop review: GPStimate pairs AI-assisted tools with human review as part of its approach to takeoff accuracy and estimating.

Speaking about GPStimate, CEO Kenn Furr said:

"It's good at repeating tedious tasks. It's not good at imagining and creating new things, right? ... As an estimator for 10 years, that's the stuff I need help with. I get busy, I'm trying to do an estimate. There's a million interruptions, it's the tedious stuff that I'm doing that I get interrupted in the middle of. Either I have to say, wait till I finish this or I come back and go where did I leave off?”

The Coffee Shops are proud to welcome GPStimate!
