Commercial roofing drone programs

Roofing in 3D: the superintendent for your drone program. See how Roofing in 3D works

Roofing in 3D is GSI’s service for turning your drone flights into roof information your people can use.

What seat are you in?

Roof map

One flight. One roof map your team can work from.

Instead of sorting through a folder of photos, your team can start with one scaled roof view and open the details from there.

This is the working version: light enough to share by email, detailed enough to estimate from.

Live 3D model

Live 3D model

A roof model your team can open, inspect, and use together.

This is an actual GSI capture: the roof, the photos, and the context in one place.

How roofing teams use a 3D model

Where are you on the journey?

Each stage shows where the drone work fits for Production and Service.

Your crews are already on the roof. A drone just gives you the overhead proof you never had: the lowest-risk way to start.

Production

Are your warning lines still standing? A dated overhead photo shows what is actually in place, without the safety sermon.

Service

Turn "trust me, it needs work" into "look, here is your roof." The owner finally sees what you see.

→ The lowest-risk way to put a drone to work tomorrow.

Capture-to-estimate becomes a system: the same workflow across roofs and crews, with GSI handling the processing backbone.

Production

One standardized capture-to-estimate workflow across every crew.

Service

A repeatable field-to-report workflow your service team can use roof after roof.

→ The drone stops being a gadget and becomes how you operate.

One flight becomes a roof map and model your team can mark up. Pull useful measurements without dragging a tape across the whole roof.

Production

Measured takeoffs that back up your walk and core cuts: tighter, faster bids.

Service

Clearer repair scoping and a measured baseline for every roof you manage.

→ Bid faster and defend the scope you put on paper.

Thermal is the side path. When conditions are right, it helps flag heat patterns tied to possible wet insulation, repeat leaks, or problem areas.

Production

Before install, check for possible wet insulation.

Service

Before the walk, show your tech where to look closer.

→ Know where to look before you cut.

Stage 1 / 4

Start with proof

Service

Turn "trust me, it needs work" into "look, here is your roof." The owner finally sees what you see.

Roofing in 3D · The service behind the program

Every job has a superintendent. Your drone program gets one too.

I build it. I take the calls. GSI processes and hosts the information. Drone won't take off? Call me. Something in the model doesn't make sense? Call me. My job is to help your crew get better until you barely need me—your program, your people, your roof information. The judgment behind that comes from twelve years in commercial roofing, eight years running photogrammetry, and commercial ratings in helicopters, airplanes, and drones. Every client gets a protected territory. Inside it, GSI does not add a competing account.
