Builder Built. Pro Preferred.®

The industry-leading roofing estimating solution, Estimating Edge is a team of tradesmen and software experts working together to build "cutting-edge" software for the construction industry.

Estimating Edge has two solutions, a desktop/cloud solution and a mobile application.

The EDGE is a professional-grade take and cost-estimating software solution and is the flagship product that's installed on a local machine. Customized for roofing, but also for your business needs. For collaboration, multiple estimators can access
by hosting critical data in the cloud.

Known for its customer support and software that's Smart – smart enough to calculate materials and labor costs while a user performs the takeoff (clicking directly on imported blueprint images). Once a user completes the on-screen takeoff, they can simply adjust materials and labor rates, correct any missing information, adjust the tax rate, profit target, and bond rate (if needed). All calculations are updated automatically, including change orders, and reports can be generated to assist with project management, accounting, and communication with customers.

EDGE On Site is a mobile application that extends the estimate to the field, allowing teams to track the production including change orders as work is completed. Stay sharp. Take your business to the next level with Estimating Edge.

ASCE 7-16 Compliance Streamlined

Estimating Edge has introduced a new feature, Roof Zone Layout/Perimeter 2, in its software to further assist commercial roofing estimators. This feature simplifies compliance with ASCE 7-16, a key component of the International Building Code concerning structural loads.

Users of the EDGE can now switch between ASCE 7-16 standards and other standards using a simple toggle, streamlining the estimation process by reducing the need for manual recalculations. The new feature fits into ASCE 7-16 compliance by directly incorporating the standard into the software’s functionality, ensuring that roofing contractors can easily meet the latest structural requirements during the estimation phase of their projects. This integration helps reduce errors, saves time and ensures that projects adhere to critical safety and legal standards. 

To date, The EDGE is one of the only programs with built-in ASCE 7-16 compliance.

Learn more about its cutting-edge features and become an industry leader in estimating with The EDGE.

Expert Advice on Choosing Roofing Software

In a new white paper from RoofersCoffeeShop®, Jackie Hart and John Lombardo from Estimating EDGE, two longtime technology salespeople, give their expert advice on the five key considerations to make when selecting a new software. They also talk about the importance of helping roofing contractors understand what they need from estimating software. 

Discovering what you need from software, including how it matches your company culture and vision, is a critical part of selecting software. Jackie and John discuss the importance of relationship sales that help roofing companies understand pain points and needs when it comes to their software. 

“Our job is to take what they're working with and try to be in their world and understand what they're facing, the problems or the good things,” said John. “You've got to have your ears open and listen and try to understand what their position is.”
