What Is an XML Roof Report?
Understand what an XML roof report is and how it fits into your estimating workflow.
Choose the format that matches your estimating platform. XML for Symbility®. ESX for Xactimate®. PDF for documentation.
An XML roof report is a data file designed to import directly into Symbility®. It contains all measured roof planes, slopes, and edge lengths. No manual entry. No rekeying numbers.
Place an order with a street address. We measure the roof and deliver the XML file before the daily cutoff. Send the file into Symbility® and build your estimate from measured data.
An XML roof report is a structured data file that contains roof measurements formatted for Symbility® estimating software. Contractors and adjusters use it to import measured roof dimensions directly into their claims and bids. The report replaces manual measuring and reduces data entry errors.
Roofing contractors and insurance adjusters who work in Symbility® use XML roof reports. The file format matches the software's import requirements. It allows users to load measured roof data without typing each dimension.
The XML file includes roof plane measurements, slope values, ridge lengths, hip lengths, valley lengths, eave lengths, and rake lengths. It also includes the total roof area. The data is organized for direct import into Symbility®.
After you place an order by address, the XML file is delivered the same day if ordered before the daily cutoff. You receive a download link. The file is ready to import into Symbility® immediately.
XML is for Symbility®. ESX is for Xactimate®. PDF is for documentation and sharing. You choose the format when you place the order. Each format is tied to its specific ecosystem. An XML roof report does not include an ESX or PDF unless you select those options.
XML roof reports save time on the estimate. They remove the need to climb a roof and take manual measurements. The data is consistent and can be imported into Symbility® in seconds. This speeds up the bid and claim process.
Every XML roof report is based on measured data from the roof surface. The dimensions are calculated from the roof structure itself. The report provides the numbers you need to build a complete estimate.
