AI Roofing Takeoff Software | Fast, Accurate Estimates
Upload your roof plans or aerial imagery and BuilderCore's AI roofing takeoff software automatically calculates shingle squares, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, ice and water shield, and waste factors. Get a complete roofing material list and labor estimate in minutes — no more manual measurements or spreadsheet calculations.
Roofing contractors bid on volume, and every minute spent measuring roof area by hand is a minute lost. BuilderCore's AI reads your blueprints or aerial photos, detects roof planes, pitches, ridges, valleys, and penetrations, then calculates total roof area in squares, underlayment rolls, flashing linear feet, and drip edge — all with your company's waste factor applied.
Every roofing takeoff includes labor hours broken down by activity (tear-off, underlayment, shingle installation, flashing, cleanup), equipment costs for dump trailers and nail guns, and material costs from your vendor price list. Adjust overhead, profit, and contingency before exporting a professional estimate ready to send to the adjuster or homeowner.
BuilderCore works for residential and commercial roofing — asphalt shingles, metal roofing, TPO, and flat roof systems. The AI adapts to your measurement preferences, waste percentages, and labor rates. Upload your plans from any device and get your numbers instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does AI roofing takeoff work?
Upload your roof plan PDF or aerial image and BuilderCore's AI detects roof planes, pitches, ridges, valleys, and penetrations. It calculates total roof area in squares, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and waste factors — all from the drawing with no manual measuring.
Does it work with aerial imagery?
Yes. You can upload aerial photos or satellite screenshots and the AI will detect roof outlines, calculate area in squares, and generate a material list. For the most accurate results, upload architectural roof plans or measurement reports.
Can it handle different roofing materials?
BuilderCore supports asphalt shingles, metal roofing, TPO, and flat roof systems. The AI applies the appropriate waste factors and material quantities based on the roofing type detected from your plans.
How fast is the roofing takeoff?
Most roofing takeoffs complete in under two minutes. Upload your plans, and the AI returns roof area, material list, labor hours, and cost estimate — ready to review and adjust before exporting.
Can I export the takeoff into an estimate or proposal?
Yes. Every roofing takeoff converts into a full cost estimate with overhead, profit, and tax, then into a branded proposal with e-signature — all within BuilderCore.
