Choosing aerial measurement & roof reports software

Aerial measurement services and software produce roof, wall and property measurements from imagery, so you can estimate without climbing the roof.

Our own general advice, not a recommendation of any product.

Questions to ask on every demo

What does a report include: area, pitch, edges, waste factors, material lists?
How is it priced: per report, per subscription or by credits?
How quickly are reports delivered, and what happens if imagery is out of date or the structure is obscured?
What accuracy guarantee or re-measure policy does the vendor offer?
Does it connect to my estimating or CRM software?

Aerial imagery can miss recent additions, tree cover and complex roofs. Ask how the vendor handles corrections.
Per-report pricing is simple at low volume; compare it with subscriptions if you order often.

Order the same address from two providers and compare the reports against a field measurement before committing.

Aerial measurement report: A document produced from satellite, aerial or drone imagery that gives the dimensions of a roof or building: areas, pitch, edge lengths. Used to estimate without a site visit.
Computer vision: AI that analyses images or video. In construction it is used to read plan sheets, measure roofs from aerial images, track progress from site photos and spot hazards on camera.
