Roof System Installation Checks
Photograph roof installations and get AI assessments for fastener patterns, underlayment overlap, flashing details, and edge metal — evaluated against wind zone and code requirements.
Roof system inspections, wind zone compliance, and jurisdiction-aware building code answers — helping roofing teams verify installations meet local requirements before sign-off.
A free workspace for you and two of your crew.
Code Buddy can be equipped with the roofing and building codes you work to, and then helps contractors check installations against jurisdiction-specific wind zone, fire rating, and building code requirements using AI chat, Vision AI reviews, and built-in calculators.
Results are AI-generated and should be reviewed by a qualified professional.

Photograph roof installations and get AI assessments for fastener patterns, underlayment overlap, flashing details, and edge metal — evaluated against wind zone and code requirements.
Check roof assemblies against the wind speed, exposure category, and uplift resistance requirements that apply to 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.

Code Buddy determines the wind speed, exposure category, and risk category for your project location, then works to the fastener, underlayment, and edge metal requirements in whichever code your account is equipped with.
Yes. The Vision AI camera evaluates roof installations — shingles, flashing, penetrations, edge details — against applicable building code requirements and may flag potential issues.
Code Buddy works to the energy code your jurisdiction adopted, once that edition is in your account — solar reflectance, thermal emittance, and insulation requirements for roof assemblies in your climate zone.
We'll load your regulations, your jurisdiction, and your team's workflow — and show you what Code Buddy sees. Live.
