Industry Solution · Roofing & Specialty Trades

Site measurements to customer-ready quotes, without the spreadsheets

Custom estimating, takeoff and quoting systems for contractors whose pricing depends on measurements and material math. One web-based system your office team uses every day.

*Paid audit from $1,000 · 5–7 working days · you keep the prototype and written build specification.

The Friction

Where estimating eats your margin

Estimates, purchasing and scheduling usually live in separate files. That's where time and money leak.

Slow Estimates

Measurements, takeoffs and quote PDFs are built by hand in spreadsheets. Typically 2–4 hours per prospect, and the competitor who replies first often wins.

Material Waste

Rule-of-thumb buffers turn into over-ordering, and material leaves the yard without landing on a specific job ledger.

Disconnected Jobs

Estimates, purchase orders and crew schedules don't share data, so the numbers stop matching as soon as site work starts.

The Solution

Built around your pricing logic, not a generic template

From site measurement to approved quote and material list, without retyping.

01Live Takeoff Engine

Measurement-based estimating

Enter the roof footprint (from drawings or an aerial report) and pitch. Get squares with waste, materials, labor and a bid total, with the math shown.

02Live Takeoff Engine

Customer-ready quotes & e-signature (add-on)

Branded proposals with your own contract terms, generated straight from the approved takeoff. Add-ons, quoted separately: client and partner portals, e-signature, extra integrations, offline mode, optimized 2D nesting.

03Live Takeoff Engine

Material lists for purchasing

Export a supplier-ready material order straight from the approved takeoff, ensuring your purchasing department orders the exact quantities needed.

04Scoped to your needs

Job and margin dashboard

Job progress, crew labor hours and gross margin in one unified view, built around the key operational metrics your leadership team actually tracks.

Roofing takeoff engine: footprint and pitch to customer-ready quote

Built for a commercial roofing contractor in the US. Enter the roof footprint (from drawings or an aerial report) and pitch. Get squares with waste, materials, labor and a bid total, with the math shown.

Honest boundaries

Custom software isn't always the answer

We will tell you honestly whether you need custom code or should stay with an off-the-shelf platform.

Build custom if…

  • Your prices come from non-standard mathematical formulas: cutting and nesting of profiles or glass, structural metal, project-specific pitch factors, or custom price lists.
  • Your measurement-to-quote steps are unique and no off-the-shelf template covers your field workflow.
  • You are tired of paying expensive monthly per-seat fees for crew members who only log in occasionally.

Buy off-the-shelf if…

  • Your quotes follow standard cookie-cutter per-square or flat-rate pricing without proprietary fabrication rules.
  • You have a small 2–3 person crew and existing tools like JobNimbus or AccuLynx already fit how you work.
  • Your business process is still changing every month and you do not yet have a settled estimating formula.
Not sure which side you're on? That's what the Operations Audit is for.
Methodology

How it works: from audit to a working system

A low-risk structured progression where you see and verify interactive screens before code development begins.

STEP 015–7 Days · from $1,000

Operations Audit

Workflow bottleneck mapping (5–7 working days). You get a clickable core-flow prototype (5–6 screens) and a written fixed-price build specification. 100% credited toward a Custom CRM build if started within 60 days.

STEP 02Milestone Sign-off

Interactive Prototype Review

Check the workflow and sample calculations in a clickable prototype before you commit to the build.

STEP 032–12 Weeks

Fixed-Scope Build

A focused micro-system (like the Roofing Takeoff Engine) takes 2–4 weeks ($5k–$8k). A core operational CRM (Phase 1 Release) takes 6–12 weeks ($15k–$35k). Live working demos every 1–2 weeks with fast async feedback loops to keep your launch date on track.

STEP 04Go-Live + Support

Release & Code Handover

Production deployment, team onboarding, and complete Git repository handover. Optional month-to-month care from $500/mo.

Audit: 100% upfront. AI Workflow and Micro-System: 50% at kickoff, 50% at launch. Custom CRM: 30% at kickoff, 40% at the midpoint demo, 30% at launch.See full pricing

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers on costs, code ownership, job-site mobility, and integrations.

The Operations Audit starts at $1,000, fixed price. After it you get a fixed quote for the build. A focused micro-system such as a quote calculator ranges from $5,000 to $8,000 (such as the Roofing Takeoff Engine at $6,500), and a core operational CRM from $15,000 to $35,000. Exact price depends on workflows, roles and integrations.
The audit takes 5–7 working days. A micro-system takes 2–4 weeks, and a core operational CRM takes 6–12 weeks. You see working software demos every 1–2 weeks.
The code lives in your repository from day one. Full rights to everything we write for you transfer on final payment. Open-source components keep their own licenses.
Care — $500/month, up to 8 hours. Growth — $1,500/month, up to 18 hours. Response within 1 business day. Cancel with 30 days' notice. The code is yours either way.
Field-ready mobile & tablet web interface with automatic local draft saving to prevent data loss on job sites with spotty connectivity (as long as the browser session remains open). Full offline caching and background sync for completely disconnected job sites can be scoped as an add-on.
Integrations are scoped per project. QuickBooks, Xero and Stripe have robust APIs and can be connected on request. Supplier connections depend on whether the distributor offers an API, which we verify in the audit.
If your quoting follows standard off-the-shelf templates and their workflows match you, you should use them. We build custom when your pricing logic, cutting and nesting rules, or material multipliers give you a competitive edge that generic SaaS cannot handle.
Yes — for Custom CRM builds ($15,000–$35,000): if you start the build within 60 days, 100% of the audit fee (from $1,000) is credited toward your development milestones. If you decide not to proceed, the clickable prototype (5–6 screens) and written build scope are yours to keep.
Built by SolviLab, an engineering boutique. No account managers.
