Solar Design & Permit Package for Roofing Contractor Owners with Xactimate
Run solar design & permit package on autopilot inside Xactimate.
The Problem
Each Insurance Restoration Roofing install needs a custom design + permit package — drawings, equipment specs, structural calc, utility interconnection — and design teams in JobNimbus are the chronic bottleneck.
What We Build in Xactimate
AI generates the design and permit package from site survey data in JobNimbus, runs structural and shade analysis, and submits to AHJ — design throughput per engineer doubles. Purpose-built for teams running Xactimate — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

Build on the Xactimate API or agent
Integration happens inside Xactimate — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Xactimate with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
