Use Cases
Photograph roof installations and get AI assessments for fastener patterns, underlayment overlap, flashing details, and edge metal — evaluated against wind zone and code requirements.
Verify that roof assemblies meet the wind speed, exposure category, and uplift resistance requirements for your specific project location and building height.
Evaluate flashing installations at valleys, walls, penetrations, and transitions against applicable building code and manufacturer requirements.
Check solar reflectance, thermal emittance, and insulation R-value requirements against your jurisdiction's adopted energy code for the climate zone.
Each tool is jurisdiction-aware and built for roofing — on the job site, in the office, or offline.
