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.
“Forge is the first software we've ever run the business on. Mark walked me through Hyperion on a real commercial roof, and now we bid right from the truck door — the 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. Founding 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.
Founding Charter: by application: roughly half off the modular stack you need, from $299/mo (MSRP $599), locked for the life of the subscription, ten seats (one claimed). Public pricing is a la carte from Forge Core $599/mo flat plus modules.
1 of 2 roofing seats
filled.
Founding 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.
