A partnership between EagleView Technologies, a provider of aerial measurement services, and Xactware Solutions, Inc., will enable insurance adjusters and other professionals to quickly generate roof dimensions while estimating and adjusting homeowners' claims.

EagleView's technology integration into Xactware's estimating software allows users to gain access to roof measurement capabilities via XactAnalysis, a network for sending and receiving structural and contents estimates. According to the companies, the agreement will enable insurance adjusters and roofers to automatically create detailed roofs in Xactimate as part of the everyday claim process.

Using aerial photography and patent-pending software, EagleView calculates measurements for the roof's ridges, rafters, valleys, slopes, and more. Users can then electronically import the roof measurements into the Xactimate Sketch module and view the completed roof layout in both 2D and 3D. From there, users graphically add shingles, ridge caps, and other roofing material to the sketch. They can also graphically estimate costs to repair damages to complex roof structures.
