Software built for roofing & exteriors contractors.

Measure roofs without climbing them. Generate proposals with AI. Manage projects from scan to closeout. Forge™ was built for roofing contractors who are tired of the old way.

Every roofing estimate starts with a measurement. And every measurement used to mean climbing a roof or waiting 3-6 hours for an aerial report.

  • EagleView or SatelliteReport for measurements ($30-50 each, hours of delay)
  • A spreadsheet for estimating materials
  • QuickBooks for invoicing
  • A whiteboard for crew scheduling
  • Paper for field documentation

Forge™ replaces all of them. One platform, one login, one source of truth — from system design to proposal to project management to service contracts. No re-entry. No spreadsheets. No duct tape.

What Forge™ does for roofing & exteriors contractors

Purpose-built features for the way you actually work.

Hyperion™ LiDAR Roof Scanning

Stand on the ground. Point your iPad at the roof. Walk out with a complete 3D model — pitch, ridge lengths, valleys, hips, eave lengths, and total square footage. No climbing. No waiting.

AI Material Takeoff

From the 3D scan: calculate shingles, underlayment, ridge caps, drip edge, flashing, and starter strip — with waste factors built in. One tap from scan to materials list.

Insurance Claim Packages

Generate Xactimate-compatible documentation with measurements, photos, and damage documentation. Package everything the adjuster needs in one submission.

Crew Scheduling & Dispatch

Map-based dispatch with weather awareness. Know which crews are where, which jobs are weather-dependent, and when the next clear window opens.

Photo Documentation

Before, during, and after photos organized by project section. GPS-tagged and timestamped. Never scramble to find proof of work again.

Instant Proposals

Scan → measure → estimate → proposal. Material costs, labor hours, waste factors, and markup — all calculated from the actual 3D model. Send for e-signature from the job site.

Job Costing

Real-time budget vs. actual on materials, labor, and subs. Know your margin per job as the work happens — not 30 days after the job closes.

AI Structural Analysis

For re-roofing: Hyperion™ analyzes the LiDAR geometry against building codes and material load tables. Determine if the structure can support new materials before the crew shows up.

Hyperion™ Spatial Scanning

Hyperion™ replaces the $30-50 per-report aerial measurement model. Scan any roof in minutes from the ground. Unlimited scans on Forge Master™ — the measurement becomes free.
