Are you in the metal roofing business…

If you are in the metal roofing business (architectural or structural metal roofing, strip, rib, standing seam, panel or corrugated), look no further. The Roof Wizard is the roof modelling and take-off software for you. The program quantifies all material for a metal roof, and it also optimises the re-use of off-cut material for the roof and the trim using various options. It calculates the labour and prints a complete set of reports including the quotation, order form, dimensioned roof drawing, pay claim form etc, all automatically.

…or are you in the tile or shingle roofing business?

You may need to produce instant bids for complex and simple tile, shingle, slate and metal panel roofs. No problem. The Roof Wizard is brilliant software tailored for you, the roofing professional because it quantifies and costs materials by area or course, as well as the labour required. The software can be used for all types of tiles or shingles, no matter their size or material they are made of.

…or do you need to estimate siding and cladding?

Roof Wizard is the most powerful take-off program for residential siding and commercial cladding. It uses powerful 3D modelling tools to model the walls and to accurately add openings, such as windows and doors, exactly to the building’s design plan specifications.

It provides full estimating and reporting capabilities for all types of wall cladding or siding materials, as well as a complete cutting list of trim such as door and window trim, internal and external corners, soffit etc. You can also flip lay direction, add any shape opening and modify wall shape to land contour, all with a few mouse clicks.

The Solar Wizard tool kit is fully integrated with the Roof Wizard program. Solar Wizard is a 3D modelling, design and decision support program for solar system design to

  • calculate solar radiation and shadows on a 3D model of the client’s structure and
  • help determine the optimum location of solar assets such as PV arrays and solar thermal equipment.

You will find aerial images are readily available from the web and from specialist vendors. Use these in the Solar Wizard’s digitising tools to prepare initial client proposals from your desk. 

Finally, using the shadow analyser and solar radiation calculator, you can prepare very detailed client proposals at this initial stage. The high performance report generator connects the calculated data and images to reports using various options for display in the SolarWizard in Microsoft Word.
