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 and repair or replacement costs for building facets 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 the amount of building material required to repair damage to an area of the first building facet; determining a repair indicator for the first building facet; wherein the determining a repair indicator is based at least in part upon the digital facet data for the first building facet and the inspection data for the first building facet; and displaying an electronic image of the set of one or more building facets.
