AppliCad Software and EagleView® Technologies Partner for Metal Roofing Contractors

[Ray Smith]

Bothell, WA and Melbourne, Australia—Jan 2011— EagleView Technologies
and AppliCad Software are teaming up to offer a streamlined method to
quickly generate accurate 3D roof models for the estimating
departments of metal roofing contractors.

EagleView and AppliCad have announced a new technology integration
that will allow AppliCad customers to order EagleView's breakthrough
roof measurement reports with an AppliCad format 3D roof model in
electronic form. The agreement will enable roofing contractors and
distributors to automatically import detailed 3D roof models into
AppliCad in just two mouse clicks as part of the everyday estimating
and take-off process.

"We're excited to have our detailed roof models available to AppliCad
users," EagleView CEO and President Chris Barrow said. "This will
significantly improve the ease with which a metal roofing contractor
can respond to their client’s needs."

AppliCad users will be able to send measurement requests for a
particular roof to EagleView from the EagleView website and order an
AppliCad format model file to be supplied at no extra cost. Using
aerial photography and patent-pending software, EagleView accurately
calculates measurements for roof areas including the roof's ridges,
rafters, valleys, slopes and more.

AppliCad users can electronically import the 3D roof model into the
AppliCad software and view the completed roof layout from any point of
view. A job that might take 30 minutes digitizing using information
from an architect’s drawing is now reproduced instantly in full 3D.
From there, AppliCad users would use all the dimension checking, take-
off, material calculation and job reporting tools that form the
AppliCad software. Once the 3D model is imported into AppliCad the
user would simulate the application and quantify any metal roof
material including the complete trim package with all accessory items
and generate supplier orders, workshop details and material cutting
lists.
The process saves distributors and roofing contractors hours of time
that might otherwise be spent onsite measuring and scoping a roof.

"This integration is a great step forward from AppliCad, further
simplifying the process of accurately bidding and ordering all roofing
materials for a job,” said Ray Smith, Managing Director of AppliCad.
“AppliCad is pleased to offer integration with key leading-edge
technologies such as EagleView as it further improves the efficiency
and productivity of our roofing customers in their pursuit of better
service to their customers.”
