Check the property and report identity

Before reviewing quantities, confirm the address and which buildings the report represents. Look for the report identifier, issue date and any available information about the imagery source. Compare the diagram with the customer's request and your property record.

If the job includes only one structure, do not automatically use a total covering several buildings. Record the sections being included and ask the appropriate reviewer to resolve unclear boundaries.

Know the measurement labels

The EagleView report guide illustrates roof facets, areas, pitch and linear measurements such as ridges, hips, valleys, rakes and eaves. Pitch may be shown in degrees or rise over twelve; use the report's stated convention.

These are different quantities. An area total and a linear edge length are not interchangeable, and neither is automatically a material order. Read the units and map each value to the corresponding item in your estimating process.

Keep waste assumptions separate

A report's suggested waste factor is a planning input, not a universal instruction for purchasing. The EagleView guide notes that actual waste can vary. The roofer should review the factor against the intended material system and job conditions.

Illustrative review note: “Source roof area recorded; purchasing allowance pending estimator approval.” That preserves the source quantity without presenting an unreviewed allowance as a measured fact. Keep any later adjustment traceable to the reviewer and proposal version.

Use a review checklist before estimating

  • Property and structures match the request.
  • Units and measurement conventions are understood.
  • Included roof sections are marked.
  • Unclear, missing or outdated inputs are flagged.
  • Allowances are reviewed separately from source measurements.
  • Inspection-dependent decisions have an assigned owner.

Keep the original report available. A manually copied spreadsheet total without its source makes later questions harder to resolve. The measurement guide is about a vendor's report; it does not establish a LeanLine integration or accuracy guarantee.

Move from report to reviewed proposal

Once the source is understood, combine it with your scope and approved prices. Use the satellite proposal workflow to keep preparation, approval and delivery distinct.

Discuss proposal preparation support with LeanLine. Bring the source report and your estimating rules so the team can confirm the inputs needed for your workflow.
