App/Program for Roof inspection/measure

[Ari Rosa]

Hi Guys,
I'm writing from Brasil and need some help. I'm work here with a small video business and now, one customer of mine, needs to me take some pictures of roofs and in this way let him know the roof measurements, such as length and width. Is there any EVO app that I can run this service on?

Best regards,
Ari.

Hello Ari and welcome to the forums.

You can do a photogrammetry of the roof and later measure the roof with the rendering. There is a margin of error, so if you want a more precise measurement, I suggest you do it on site.

I know roofers who just use google maps to measure a roof to give a estimate of what it will cost to shingle the roof with out even going up on it.

Here are 3 examples of roofing measurement. The correct measurement is 59 feet long.

1. Evo


2. Phantom


3. Google Earth


Forgot to add, that when these photogrammetries were made, I didn't have in mind to use them for measuring, so the camera was angled at 70 degrees on both the Evo and Phantom. If they were at 90 degrees, it would have been more precise.
