Measure roof areas, calculate squares, and count penetrations in minutes. Tectonic reads architectural plans and generates accurate roofing takeoffs automatically.
Manual takeoffs waste your time and cost you money. Sound familiar?
Converting flat plan dimensions to actual sloped roof area requires pitch multipliers. Multi-level roofs with different pitches compound the complexity.
Ridges, hips, valleys, eaves, rakes - each requires different materials and labor. Measuring every linear element is tedious and often underestimated.
Vents, pipes, skylights, HVAC curbs - each penetration needs flashing and special attention. Missing them means surprise costs on the job.
Cut and waste varies by roof complexity. Simple gables waste less than cut-up roofs with multiple valleys and hips.
AI-powered takeoffs that work the way you think.
AI calculates true roof area from plan dimensions and pitch information. Handles multiple slopes and roof levels automatically.
Measure all linear elements: ridges, hips, valleys, eaves, rakes, and drip edges. Quantities organized by element type for easy pricing.
Automatically identify and count roof penetrations including plumbing vents, exhaust fans, skylights, and mechanical curbs.
Apply appropriate waste factors based on roof complexity. Simple roofs get lower waste; cut-up roofs get higher factors automatically.
Everything you need to know about roofing estimating with Tectonic.
Tectonic reads roof pitch from sections or notes and applies the correct slope multiplier to plan-view dimensions. It handles multiple pitches on the same roof.
Yes. Tectonic handles flat roofing systems including TPO, EPDM, and built-up roofing. It calculates field area, perimeter conditions, and penetration details.
Absolutely. Tectonic provides roof area in both roofing squares (100 SF) and actual square footage. Linear quantities are in linear feet.
Plan-based takeoffs are typically within 3-5% of field measurements when drawings are accurate. The time savings allows you to bid more jobs and verify critical measurements.
Yes. Beyond penetration counts, Tectonic quantifies starter strips, underlayment, and other accessories based on your roof dimensions and specifications.
