System and method of providing exterior work estimate

A method of generating an estimate on exterior work, the method comprising:

• storing predetermined measurements data of structures at a measurements database, the predetermined measurements data including one or more dimensions of structures;
• accepting a user input at a platform, the user input comprising identifying information identifying a location of a structure and a worksite, the worksite corresponding to a selected portion of the identified structure;
• converting the received identifying information to a format readable by the measurements database;
• transmitting a query including the converted identifying information to the measurements database over a communication network as a first command signal to control the measurements database to transmit a data set for the identified structure;
• generating a non-human-readable data set for the identified structure at the measurements database in response to receiving the query, the data set including the stored measurements data for the identified structure;
• receiving the generated data set for the identified structure from the measurements database over the communication network;
• parsing the received data set for data points relating to at least one dimension of the identified worksite;
• generating non-human-readable rendering data for the identified worksite by translating the parsed data points into a format readable by a renderer;
• transmitting a request including the generated rendering data to a renderer over the communication network as a second command signal to control the renderer to generate a rendering based on the generated rendering data;
• generating a three-dimensional rendering of the worksite at the renderer in response to receiving the request, the rendering being based on the transmitted rendering data;
• determining requirements of exterior work based on the at least one dimension of the identified worksite;
• and
• generating an estimate on exterior work for the worksite based on the determined requirements,
• wherein the second command signal controls the renderer to generate the rendering by generating a first set of polygons based on the parsed data points, generating a second set of polygons by removing imperfections from the lines of the first set of polygons, applying a texture to the second set of polygons, and then adjusting the texture according to the removed imperfections to apply the texture to the first set of polygons.

A platform, comprising:

• a server configured to accept a user input comprising identifying information including a location of a structure and a worksite corresponding to a selected portion of the identified structure, to convert the received identifying information to a format readable by an external measurements database, to connect to a communication network and transmit a first command signal to the external measurements database, the first command signal comprising a query including the converted identifying information and controlling the external measurements database to transmit predetermined measurements data for the identified structure, the server being further configured to receive the predetermined measurements data over the communication network in response to the transmitted query, to parse the received measurements data for data points defining at least one dimension of the identified worksite, to generate non-human-readable rendering data for the identified worksite by translating the parsed data points into a format readable by an external renderer, to transmit a second command signal to the external renderer over the communication network to generate a rendering of the worksite, the second command signal comprising a request including the generated rendering data and controlling the external renderer to generate a three-dimensional rendering based on the generated rendering data, the server being further configured to receive the rendering from the external renderer over the communication network in response to the transmitted request, to determine requirements of exterior work based on the at least one dimension of the identified worksite, and to generate an estimate on exterior work for the worksite based on the determined requirements,
• wherein the second command signal controls the external renderer to generate the rendering by generating a first set of polygons based on the parsed data points, generating a second set of polygons by removing imperfections from the lines of the first set of polygons, applying a texture to the second set of polygons, and then adjusting the texture according to the removed imperfections to apply the texture to the first set of polygons.
