Abstract:
1. A computing system for generating an estimated floor area measurement, the computing system comprising: a memory; a floor area measurement estimation module that is stored on the memory and that is configured, when executed, to: receive roof edge measurements of a building having a roof; generate, based at least in part on the received roof edge measurements, an estimated floor area measurement of the building; adjust the estimated floor area measurement of the building to obtain adjusted roof edge measurements by at least one of: subtract an amount from one or more of the roof edge measurements corresponding to an estimated roof overhang over one or more walls of the building; subtract an amount from one or more of the adjusted roof edge measurements corresponding to an estimated wall width; and subtract floor area spaces of the building that are not to be included in the estimated floor area measurement of the building, the floor area spaces of the building that are not to be included being received by the system; and output a floor area measurement report having floor area data thereon.
