So many of a roofing contractor’s day-to-day tasks would benefit from incorporating a drawing. For some tasks like estimating and inspections a drawing is critical others less so.
Using an external CAD product where you must involve the “CAD guy” means using a drawing for repairs for example, is not practical.
RoofLogic has solved the problem with its built-in CAD engine which makes available drawing features in every aspect of your business.
Below we highlight the many features and benefits.
RoofLogic’s built-in CAD engine is unique to our industry and has huge benefits over a disconnected CAD system:
When you add something to a drawing it is “live” and available immediately. No waiting for the “CAD guy” to take your sketch and add it to the drawing.
Every object on the drawing is connected to its extended data (dimensions, photos etc.) in the database.
Your mobile user interface is a live drawing. So, as you add roof objects and defects you are also pinpointing them on the drawing. This is very intuitive for a roofer.
Generic CAD systems contain too many features because they cover the entire construction industry and they have no concept of a roof or its objects (curbs, drains…).
This makes them difficult to learn and difficult to remember how to use.
RoofLogic’s built-in CAD engine contains only roofing features and has data objects for the roof itself and everything on the roof (curbs, drains) as well as defects.
It is simple to learn because it speaks your language and when you don’t touch it for a week or two it is easy to remember how to use it.
With RoofLogic you can transform those rough site sketches into presentation drawings in minutes.
No need to break out the calculator, all your takeoff quantities are generated automatically as you draw.
Now you have a drawing to help sell the job and accurate numbers for your estimate.
Use satellite images, aerial images, or drone images as the basis for your drawing. Start your drawing in the office and have basic takeoff quantities before you head to the roof.
A verified site dimension can be entered to correct the entire drawing in one step.
Takeoffs from electronic plans could not be easier.
Our built in PDF viewer and extraction tool allows you to easily pull the roof plan from a full set of drawings.
Enter a known dimension and digitize the plan in minutes.
Unique in our industry RoofLogic’s mobile inspection app displays a live drawing as its primary user interface.
Not only does the drawing interface allow you to accurately pinpoint roof objects and defects on the drawing it adds them to the database in real-time.
All your inspection data is in the system and ready to go when leave the roof.
Also, navigating facilities with numerous roof sections (think hospitals) becomes easy as is figuring out which roof section you’re currently standing are on.
How much time do your repair techs spend looking for the defects? Some we have talked to say they often spend more time looking for the defects than fixing them.
The larger the facility the more time it takes.
With RoofLogic’s drawing technology the techs can walk straight to the defect.
Our drawing technology extends to your customers through our customer portal.
Your customer can have access to an interactive drawing where they can explore the roof objects and defects and view the related photos and data.
Service requests made are more efficient by displaying the drawing of their facility so they can pinpoint the roof section with the problem.
Key plans make your reports easier to understand. Without a key plan “Roof G” is meaningless to your customer.
RoofLogic generates the key plans automatically with each roof in your report shaded in.
Without RoofLogic’s built-in CAD, adding key plans to your reports is a monumental task.
RoofLogic has a master drawing for each facility that shows you the current state of every roof.
It also maintains a historical drawing for every job that has ever taken place.
RoofLogic drawings are used for setup and progress reports on jobs.
Use the drawing for job setup information like chute and material storage locations.
Then use the drawing to show expected daily progress vs actual.
RoofLogic is compatible with the latest release of AutoCAD and has the capability to import, export, and make changes to .DWG or .DXF AutoCAD drawings.
Moisture surveys have become a valuable tool in the reroofing sector of the roofing industry.
Use RoofLogic to convey the results of your roof moisture surveys to your clients.
Anyone can learn to create proposal quality drawings in just a few hours. No CAD experience required. In minutes create a drawing that will wow your prospects and win jobs!
RoofLogic comes with a complete library of symbols and roof smart objects ready to go.
Making professional drawings is easy with over 70 pre-made roof symbols ready to go.
RoofLogic makes takeoff calculations simple with a library of over 150 roof smart objects that handle every takeoff calculation on a roof.
Complete your drawing by adding a legend and title block from our library. Add your logo and make it your own.
