New solution integrates Renoworks FastTrack
technology and makes it easier to measure, estimate, and design a
metal roof project remotely
PORTLAND, OR and CALGARY, May 19,
2020 /CNW/ - Renoworks Software Inc. (TSXV:RW)
("Renoworks"), the leading end-to-end visualization platform
for the building construction industry, and Metal Roofing
Alliance ("MRA"), the leading non-profit organization
representing the U.S. and Canada
residential metal roofing industry, today announced the launch of
the new Metal Roofing Measurement & Design Tool, intended to
help contractors produce faster estimates remotely and enable
homeowners to make better-educated decisions about installing metal
roofing on their homes.
Simply by entering a property address, the new solution
leverages Renoworks' FastTrack feature-set and technology to
transform pre-existing aerial measurement data and street-view
images into interactive 3D models and realistic visualizations of
the home. The resulting interactive project can then be designed
with thousands of combinations of metal roofing products and
colors, with all of the roof measurements needed to prepare an
initial project estimate.
Promoting Adoption of Remote Digital Tools
Remote measurement and estimation technology continues to gain
traction in the roofing industry. Renoworks' combination of
interactive 3D modeling and photo-realistic visualization in the
new Metal Roofing Measurement & Design Tool presents a powerful
solution to streamline project planning and estimation processes in
a single, consumer-facing interface. Benefits of the new tool
include:
- Enabling metal roofers to quickly obtain measurements and make
initial estimates remotely, without the need to visit the
home;
- Allowing homeowners to see the value of a metal roof and make
better decisions by designing 3D models and realistic
visualizations of their own home; and
- Fostering better coordination and connection between homeowners
and metal roofing professionals with a shared, online interactive
visualization of the project.
"As an organization dedicated to the advancement of the metal
roofing industry, the Metal Roofing Alliance is always looking for
solutions to help our members and their customers." said
Renee Ramey, executive director of
MRA. "We are pleased to offer this new solution to our members and
the public and look forward to seeing its impact on the
measurement, estimation and design process for metal roofing
projects across the US and Canada."
"The industry is collectively experiencing an acceleration in
the adoption of digital tools due to COVID-19 and social distancing
requirements." Said Doug Vickerson,
CEO of Renoworks. "The Metal Roofing Measurement & Design Tool
is a solution that is needed now more than ever to connect
homeowners with contractors and building product brands. We are
very pleased to partner with Metal Roofing Alliance to make this
timely solution available to help contractors carry on business
virtually while educating homeowners about the value of metal
roofing products."
