This year’s winner helped develop drone assessment software that creates 3-D models of roofs that measure and identify roofing issues with pinpoint accuracy.

Contractors can easily and quickly visualize roof damage through the use of EagleView Access and the TAMKO Edge loyalty program.

The platform includes the capability to leverage its library spanning multiple decades and 20 million-plus square miles of geospatial images and data captured using EagleView’s technology.

AI-enabled software from Zeitview pinpoints specific anomalies, filters information, and eliminates uncertainty for commercial and residential roofing contractors.

VDA Pro and VDA Drone collect data of the exterior elements, provide measurements of the roof, gutters and downspouts, and help identify and document damage, defects and maintenance requirements.

EagleView Assess lets contractors, adjusters and insurance carriers obtain unbiased evidence of roof damage without the worries of actively piloting the drone.

New one-hour learning-on-demand web content, cover sales, drones, the economy and more, is now open to all contractors.

Trent Cotney of Adams and Reese explains the benefits and drawbacks of operating used drones, and how these new opportunities are changing how drones are used in construction today.
