The power of aerial roof measurements

By Emma Peterson. 

How aerial roof measurements can unlock powerful project planning for your team. 

In the roofing industry, accuracy is everything. One wrong step can be a dangerous injury on the roof and one wrong measurement can mean thousands in lost revenue. Luckily, Eagleview provides a way for contractors like you to get accurate measurements and keep your crew safe on the ground until you know the state of the roof you are working on.  

Eagleview’s aerial roof measurement tool  

Eagleview’s measurement tool captures roofing data based on the more than 3.5 billion images in their library. How exactly does this work? A combination of high-resolution aerial imagery, advanced photogrammetry and AI modeling.  

The result? Contractors can get 98%+ verified roof measurement accuracy without having to leave the ground! This has a variety of benefits, including:  

• Financial savings: It’s estimated that Eagleview users have cumulatively saved $6.89 billion thanks to the measurement accuracy of Eagleview’s tech.  
• Increased efficiency: Manitoba Assessment found that their team were able to “identify property changes and unpermitted improvements directly from their desks,” saving them substantial time by eliminating factors like travel.  
• Safer workplaces: Getting on unfamiliar roofs to inspect or measure them is one of the most hazardous tasks for construction workers and insurance adjusters. Eagleview’s roof measurement tool removes the need for your team to go onto the roof, protecting them from potentially dangerous structures and physical risks. 

Integrating Eagleview in your operations 

So, how do you start taking advantage of Eagleview’s roof measurement tool? The best way is to integrate roof measurements your existing workflows. Not only does this make it easier for your team to learn how to use a new tool, but it keeps your operations streamlined and smooth. As the Eagleview team explains:  

[Integration] transforms how teams communicate. Estimators can see the same verified data as field crews and claims managers, reducing back-and-forth emails and misaligned updates. Project leads gain real-time visibility into active jobs, and decision-makers can compare productivity across offices or contractors without chasing down reports. Integrated aerial data also supports quality control and documentation. Every measurement is traceable back to verified imagery, making it easier to validate estimates, audit claims or maintain compliance records. 

A great way to make this integration reality is using connected platforms like Eagleview One™. This platform acts as a hub for all your projects, funneling your measurements data into 3D visualizations and reports that offer unrivaled insight into the roof you are working on.
