New Perspectives for Your Objectives

By Karen L. Edwards, RCS Editor.

3D visualization is growing in importance for the roofing industry.

The advent of the aerial imaging industry led to the popularity of visualization for contractors. Using online tools, contractors ‘see’ a jobsite or building before ever visiting the site in person. The visualization helps contractors identify potential hazards, map out material staging, study access to the site and take measurements of the building, parking lots and more. These advancements contributed greatly to the efficiency and effectiveness of each job.

Technology continues to evolve, and more contractors are turning to 3D visualization. Technology company Nearmap invites contractors to ‘log into the world with on-demand 3D mapping.” Accessible via a web browser, contractors can explore a location by immersing themselves in the model.

Zoom, pan, rotate and tilt functions make exploring an entire building possible. Nearmap shares that contractors can “…take height, pitch, and length measurements, and easily switch between 2D and 3D base layers.”

Models are available across major urban and regional areas in the U.S. The 3D models are updated at least on a yearly basis to ensure accuracy of the data. Export images and models to use in presentations and impress your customers with your technical acumen.
