  • Patent number: 9721264
    Abstract: A system and method for combining CAD, inspection, and building guideline data for analyzing repair decisions and selecting waste containers is described. One embodiment includes receiving digital building facet data for a first building facet of a set of one or more building facets; receiving digital inspection data for the first building facet; determining an amount of building material required to repair damage to an area of the first building facet, including determining a first amount of waste building material; determining a repair indicator for the first building facet, the determining a repair indicator based at least in part upon the digital facet data for the first building facet and the inspection data for the first building facet; determining an appropriate waste container based upon the first amount of waste material; and displaying an electronic image of the set of one or more building facets.

  • Patent number: 9158869
    Abstract: A system and method for intelligently combining CAD, inspection, and building guideline data for intelligently setting roof facet directionality, analyzing repair and replacement decisions and estimating material, material waste and recyclables, material recycling requirements, and repair or replacement costs for building facets is described. One embodiment includes receiving digital inspection data of a building facet of a property; receiving a first layer of geographic-based guideline data; receiving a second layer of geographic-based guideline data; reconciling a conflict between guideline data of the first and second layers of guideline data to reach a resulting guideline data item; determining a repair indicator for the building facet based at least in part on the resulting guideline data item and the digital inspection data; and sending an electronic message, wherein the electronic message includes at least a portion of the digital inspection data and the repair indicator.
