EagleView measures the roof from the air.
Forge runs the work on the ground.
EagleView is the category leader in aerial-imagery measurement. Decades of flown and satellite imagery, a deep property-data archive, and measurement reports estimators have trusted for years. Forge isn't a measurement vendor. It's the operator OS the commercial installation contractor runs the whole job on, with Hyperion capturing ground-truth geometry in the field instead of buying a report.
Side by side. Honest about both.
Not Forge's archive. Forge reads an aerial-imagery report for sites Hyperion can't safely access; the in-field scan is the primary capture, the report is the fallback.
Industry-leading. A deep archive of flown and satellite imagery with property intelligence across most of the U.S. — coverage no in-field tool can match for properties you can't reach.
Yes. Hyperion — iPad/iPhone LiDAR. Walk the structure, get a line-item estimate from the geometry the roof actually has today. Methodology + sample plan published at /proof/hyperion-accuracy (graduates to a measured benchmark after independent third-party verification).
Not in scope. Measurement is from aerial and satellite imagery, not an in-field capture device.
Operator OS. Estimating, scheduling, CRM, documents, Treasury (coming soon), embedded comms, field ops, and Hyperion in one chest.
Measurement and property-data reports. EagleView produces the report; the estimate, schedule, payroll, and project record live in your other tools.
Treasury (coming soon). Davis-Bacon rates per project, prevailing wage per worker per task, WH-347 designed to be ready to file.
Out of scope. EagleView is a measurement provider, not a payroll or compliance system.
Field-initiated. Scan delta → change-order → customer signs from the truck → Treasury (coming soon) will write the financial impact. PM sees the signed change-order in the project log.
Out of scope. A measurement report is a one-time input, not a workflow that tracks change-orders across the job.
Documents native. Submittal packages, as-builts, commissioning records version-controlled and attached to the project.
Out of scope. EagleView delivers a measurement report; downstream documentation lives elsewhere.
One architecture. Estimating, dispatch, change-orders, payroll, documents, and Hyperion share state because they share an architecture, not because of a nightly integration.
A measurement input. EagleView reports integrate into many contractor tools by design — federation across the full job is not what it sets out to do.
A full-time customer service rep runs about $5,500 a month fully loaded. Sabina and every Forge product are custom quoted. We discuss your responsibilities, products and services, then provide the scope, price and terms before you commit. Treasury is in development. Founding Charter is the founder program by application: a founding rate, set at the job-description call and locked for as long as you hold the seat, ten seats, seven open.
Per-report and subscription pricing for measurement products. A different cost model — you pay per measurement, not for an operating system.
Where EagleView is the right call.
- 01.Operators who need measurement on a property nobody can safely walk — steep, tall, hazardous, or remote roofs where aerial imagery is genuinely the better source.
- 02.High-volume residential estimating where a fast, repeatable aerial report per address beats sending a person to every site.
- 03.Insurance, restoration, and roofing workflows already built around EagleView reports and the integrations that consume them.
- 04.Teams that want a measurement vendor feeding their existing stack, not a platform to replace it — EagleView's coverage archive is deeper than any in-field tool's reach.
- 05.Anyone whose only unmet need is a measurement number. Forge is a whole operating system; if you just want the report, that's a heavier buy than you need.
The honest line.
If the only need is an accurate measurement of a roof — especially one nobody can safely walk — EagleView is the right tool, and a per-report measurement vendor is a far lighter buy than an operating system. Forge is built for the commercial installation contractor who wants the measurement, the estimate, the payroll, the change-orders, and the project record on one chest — with Hyperion capturing ground-truth in the field rather than buying it from the air.
A measurement is one input. The work is everything after it. Pick the chest built for the work.
