Property intelligence provider Nearmap has launched Nearmap Roof Assessment, a new AI-powered capability that enables remote assessment of roof condition across entire portfolios using high-resolution aerial imagery and automated condition insights.
The solution aims to provide a centralised, visual system of record for roof condition to detect issues, prioritise capital investments, and standardise decision-making.
“When you can view all the buildings and see and prioritise where you need to spend the money, this is perfect. Instead of having to inspect 150 buildings, we’ve been able to narrow it down to just 15,” said Brisbane Airport Corporation Asset Management and Systems manager Anu Karunaratne.

Key benefits include the following:
- Evaluate thousands of roofs without sending inspectors onsite, reducing costs, safety risk, and operational disruption
- Replace subjective reports with standardised, AI-driven condition ratings
- Give finance, facilities, and external partners the same visual source of truth
- Detect roof issues earlier
- Improve collaboration and transparency
“Too many organisations waste time and money because they’re relying on infrequent inspections, inconsistent assessments, or siloed information,” said David Tobias, chief product officer at Nearmap.
“Roof Assessment gives teams, whether they oversee corporate campuses, government facilities, or complex commercial portfolios, a clear, defensible, and scalable way to understand the health of their roofs. It brings true operational efficiency to asset planning by combining the repeatability of AI with the clarity of high-resolution imagery,” he added.
