Revolutionizing metal roofing bids

By SmartBuild Systems. 

Meet Roofing Passport, an automated bidding platform that leverages advanced 3D geometry technology for precise estimates. 

Partnering with Sherwin-Williams and EagleView, SmartBuild Systems developed their Roofing Passport, a service that transforms the traditional reroofing bidding process of residential and commercial roofs. By integrating EagleView's advanced 3D roof geometry technology with SmartBuild’s specialized metal and trim specification capabilities, Roofing Passport has been changing the game for contractors. 

Once a user enters a street address into Roofing Passport, a 3D model of the roof populates in SmartBuild. The user selects a metal panel from a manufacturers’ inventory and SmartBuild automatically does all the rest: 

• Applies sheathing on the entire roof 
• Selects all appropriate trims 
• Does takeoff on all ancillary materials – screws, clips, adhesives, closure material, penetration boots, etc. 
• Generates cut lists and shop drawings 
• Calculates labor estimates and material pricing 
• Creates the sales contract (via a completely customizable format) 

“Roofing Passport is truly a game-changer. Without ever leaving home or the office, a contractor can generate the most accurate bid of their life with less than five minutes of work — and it costs as little as $35. Unlike other systems that require users to manipulate geometry or tell the software which pieces to use, SmartBuild does all that thinking for you. Bid backlogs become a thing of the past,” according to Keith Dietzen, SmartBuild’s CEO. 

For manufacturers of metal panels, SmartBuild now offers tools for the Post Frame market as well as the Metal Roofing market, that have no equal.
