Imagine Technologies photogrammetry

By Imagine Technologies Group. 

Learn how photogrammetry can help your roofing business create faster estimates and manage projects more efficiently. 

In part one of our photogrammetry series, we highlighted what photogrammetry is and how our company has been utilizing this technology for successful business results. We here at Imagine Technologies Group believe that photogrammetry can benefit your service business in the following areas: 

Project take off 

Using photogrammetry means no return trips for missing information. The eye in the sky never blinks. All penetrations and details on the roof are captured the first time. You’ll also spend less time on the roof, and you’ll need considerably less measurements. You will obtain better quality information and see the project in its entirety. No more guessing what’s in between the cell phone pictures. 

Estimating 

Photogrammetry gives you faster estimates and rapid absorption of information. You’ll gain the ability to look at anything in an instant. You'll have more reliable measurements and better information allow precision in material lists and labor estimates. 

You can use imagery as base map for any software, with better accuracy from the start with up to 10x the resolution of Google Earth. This technology can give you 3D models and all surfaces are measurable. You’ll get “Live” imagery that ensures one is looking at current conditions. Sometimes Google Earth can lag a year or two, and the roof landscape has changed. You’ll gain situational awareness, as there’s always pictures where one wonders where they were taken on the roof. 

Project management 

3D models allow for convenient off-site planning. Digital meetings can bring in people from around the globe to collaborate on the same screen. Less travel time to the job site allows managers to cover more ground. 

Imagery captures the safety setup, ensuring better monitoring and provides defensible evidence for OSHA compliance. It’s also an auxiliary layer to protecting your associates. You’ll also have accurate monitoring and know exactly where your progress is. Pictures like this really are worth a thousand words. 

Why adopt this technology now? 

For the AI behind this technology that’s still in its early stages, the algorithms still make inspections and take-offs more efficient. These drones are also autonomous and allow for basic administrative task automation. AI in advanced stages allow for automatic take-off of the entire roof and semi-autonomous estimates. Plus, learning to self-perform flights makes this a fiscally feasible tool to use across your company.
