Help Customers See Every Project in 3D

By Colin Sheehan, RCS Reporter.  

Beacon 3D+ transforms smartphone photos of any home into accurate measurements and a fully customizable 3D model. 

Over the past year, technology has become an essential component to running a successful roofing business and staying safe. With the added challenge of remote working and selling, contractors need to be aware of available tools that can alleviate some of the stress of online working. 

Video conferencing tools, for instance, are used every day by contractors to communicate with homeowners. Due to social distancing restrictions, the majority of contractors must also complete the sales and estimating process virtually before visiting the customer’s home. In short, there are many crucial steps that happen virtually before a home or building becomes a jobsite.  

While you are conducting virtual meetings, you can use Beacon 3D+ to visually show customers what their roofing project will look like. The innovative Beacon 3D+ modeling app allows you to build a model of a home from photos you take on site. Accurate measurements can be derived from the model, allowing you to create precise estimates. Contractors can create models for the entire home, just the roof or both. 

Additionally, through the premium option, homeowners can capture the photos themselves and send them your way. This eliminates the need for contractors to visit the property, however a safe distance can be maintained regardless if the homeowner or contractor takes the initial photos.  

With the Beacon 3D+ Platform you will:  

• Receive detailed exterior measurements for every facet of any home, putting an end to extra trips to the job site. This saves time and money and provides a reliable and fast estimate.  

• Gain a competitive edge with the ability to show homeowners what their project will look like after its completion. This provides contractors with instant credibility in the early stages of the sales process. 

• Win more deals in addition to working on more premium projects. On average, Beacon 3D+ users see an increase of 5-15% in their close rates. 

How it works 

• Capture eight photos using the Beacon 3D+ app. Photos are automatically uploaded to the cloud. 

• Create a precise quote with accurate exterior measurements. 

• Customize the property’s roof, siding, windows and more through the Beacon 3D+ design features on the interactive 3D model. 

• Estimate to order with the 3D+ auto-calculator that will produce the exact amount of products needed to complete the project. These can be ordered seamlessly on Beacon Pro+.
