The roof is still a roof.
The estimate is a different animal.
You lost the bid on the dormer because Aurora couldn't model it. The change-order on the rooftop unit died in your PM's email. Forge is the chest a working roofer would build for himself — because it was.
The drawers that matter most
when the truck door opens.
iPad Pro LiDAR. Walk the roof, get geometry and penetrations to a fused point cloud, line-item estimate in sixty seconds. Patented and protected.
TPO, EPDM, modified, ballast, single-ply — assemblies that match what your crew actually installs, not what a generic SaaS thinks roofing is.
The change-order writes itself off the scan delta. The PM signs from the truck. Nothing dies in email.
GC slipped two weeks. Reshuffle the crew before the cost lands on your P&L. The schedule remembers what the GC forgot.
Sixty seconds from walking the parapet to a line-item bid. The dormer Aurora couldn't model is the dormer Hyperion built itself to model.
“I stopped renting estimating software the day Mark walked me through Hyperion on a real commercial roof. We bid out the truck door now. My crew thinks I hired a second estimator.”
The honest answers,
without the sales gloss.
Forge publishes a single accuracy figure for Hyperion: ±0.8% on commercial flat and low-slope geometry, ±2% on tighter, more complex geometry. The methodology behind that figure — comparison baselines (certified manual takeoffs and total-station survey), capture protocol, sample plan, reporting cadence — lives at /proof/hyperion-accuracy. The figure is currently published as methodology and sample plan; it graduates to a measured benchmark when the first independent third-party verification set completes. The page tracks updates with stated dates so the reader can see what changed and when.
Forge is the chest. Estimating, scheduling, CRM, dialer, change-orders, payroll, and Hyperion are all native modules in one federation, not bolted-on integrations. Charter operators have moved off ServiceTitan, AccuLynx, and Aurora — usually cancelling three subscriptions to do it.
Hyperion requires iPad Pro M-series with the LiDAR sensor — iPad Pro 2020 onwards. iPadOS 18 minimum. We don't support older iPads because the LiDAR depth resolution on those rigs isn't honest enough to bid from. We won't ship a tool that lies to the operator.
Charter Master: $27,000 prepaid for 36 months — a $750/month equivalent rate, locked forever. The public list for the same Master tier rises to $1,499 then $1,999 in years two and three. Charter members keep $750. That's the covenant.
1 of 2 roofing seats
filled.
Charter is the operator who builds with the new tools first. Ten seats across all trades. Locked when filled. The rate doesn't move — ever — while the public list rises around you.
The needs have been the same for 4,000 years.
Roofing is the oldest. Hyperion is the newest tool for it.
