Description

Sharp Pencil offers a commercial roofing takeoff service enhanced by AI for contractors and estimators. Clients can submit their plan sets and specifications, which the service then evaluates to generate precise measurements for various low-slope roofing systems such as TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofs, as well as components like insulation, tapered assemblies, parapets, edge metal, drains, curbs, and penetrations. Each takeoff is meticulously reviewed by a roofing expert before being delivered in a workbook format that not only references the original drawings but also includes a register for open questions (RFI). Typically, customers receive their completed takeoff within 48 hours. In addition to the takeoff, deliverables may encompass a materials order list and a proposal tailored for clients if they provide their pricing information. This service caters to a variety of commercial projects, including new constructions, reroofing, repairs, and mixed-system roofs, while residential projects are not included. The initial takeoff for a live bid is complimentary, with additional takeoffs available on a per-drawing basis or through subscription plans. Furthermore, this efficiency allows contractors to streamline their bidding process, enhancing their competitiveness in the market.
