AI Platforms for Commercial Roofing
Every competitor — Procore ($9.2B), ServiceTitan ($8.9B), BuildOps ($1B), AccuLynx ($2.35B offer) — either ignores commercial roofing or serves a different trade. Nobody owns this workflow.

ABEPIM: The Operating System for Commercial Roofing
Not an estimating tool. A five-layer platform that runs a contractor's entire business.
- Layer 1: AI Estimation Engine — blueprint to takeoff in minutes ✅ Working today
- Layer 2: Proposals & Pipeline Management — branded docs, tracking, analytics ✅ Working today
- Layer 3: Project Execution — scheduling, POs, field docs, change orders 🔧 Year 1–2
- Layer 4: Financial Operations — real-time job costing, bookkeeping integration 🔧 Year 2–3
- Layer 5: AI Agent — autonomous back office orchestration 🔮 Year 3+
Over 90%
Time reduction: 4–12 hours → under 30 minutes per estimate

ABCC Is More Than a Software Company
ABCC is a vertically integrated construction intelligence platform. We build software for contractors AND operate a roofing business — generating proprietary data, validating the product, and creating multiple revenue streams.
- ✅ We ARE the customer — ABEPIM runs on real projects with real money
- ✅ Proprietary training data — paired blueprint/takeoff datasets no outsider can access
- ✅ Multiple revenue streams — SaaS subscriptions AND construction operations
- ✅ Portfolio of service lines — a platform, not a single product
The result: Harder to compete with, faster to validate, and more valuable at exit than a standalone SaaS company.

One Company. Two Engines.
Construction Division
ABCRC — Commercial Roofing
- Pilot customer for ABEPIM
- Generates proprietary training data
- Field-validates every platform feature
- Revenue: project-based ($50K–$500K/job)
Role: The lab that makes the product real
Intelligence Division
ABEPIM — AI Platform
- 5-layer platform architecture
- SaaS subscription ($499–$2,999/mo)
- Scales nationally, independent of ops
- Revenue: recurring subscriptions
Role: The product that scales to thousands
Construction validates. Intelligence monetizes. The construction division proves the product works. The intelligence division sells it to the world.

How ABCC Is Structured
| Entity | Ownership | Role |
| ABEPIM ✅ | 100% ABCC | AI platform — primary investment target |
| ABCRC ✅ | 50/50 (Commercial Division Agreement) | Construction ops + training data |
| ABMR 📋 | 50/50 ABCC/Partner (planned) | Maintenance and Response — recurring revenue |
| ABCR 📋 | 50/50 ABCC/Partner (planned) | Coatings & restoration |
| ABi 📋 | 65/35 ABCC/Partner (planned) | AI intelligence — platform IP (Year 3+) |
ABCC LLC (Jason van Joosten, 100%) — one cap table, one equity pool. Investment into ABCC = exposure to the entire platform.

The Validation Engine: ABCRC
Status: Commercial division inside ABRC · Ownership: 50/50 profit split · Certification: Henry Authorized Contractor
Why this matters to investors:
- Proprietary training data — real blueprints paired with expert-verified takeoffs. No outside startup can replicate this.
- Live product validation — tested on real jobs with real money, not a demo environment.
- Revenue to ABCC — 15% platform fee on gross profit flows to ABEPIM development.

AI Intelligence
- ABMR — Subscription-based preventive maintenance. 87% gross margin. Target: property managers, REITs. Year 2.
- ABCR — Counter-cyclical restoration. Extends roof life 10–15 years at 40–60% of replacement cost. 48% margin. Year 2.
- ABi — ABEPIM matures into standalone AI entity. Owns platform IP, collects 15% fee from all service lines + SaaS. 95% margin. Year 3+.

The Platform Playbook: Proven at Scale
Every $1B+ vertical SaaS company followed this pattern. ABEPIM follows it deliberately.
| Phase | What Happens | ABEPIM Equivalent |
| Wedge | One killer feature, acute pain | AI estimation from blueprints (Layer 1) |
| Hook | Indispensable daily use | Proposals & pipeline tracking (Layer 2) |
| Expand | Adjacent workflows, switching cost rises | Project management & docs (Layer 3) |
| Lock-in | Financial data flows through | Job costing & bookkeeping (Layer 4) |
| Platform | Becomes the OS — too painful to leave | AI Agent orchestrating everything (Layer 5) |

Five Structural Advantages
1. Proprietary Training Data
Every project produces paired data: blueprints + expert-verified takeoffs + actual costs. No outside startup can replicate this.
2. Domain Expertise
Built by operators who do commercial estimating on real jobs. Workflows, specs, and code requirements are baked in — not bolted on.
3. First-Mover in Commercial Roofing AI
Residential has Roofr, AccuLynx, JobNimbus. Commercial has nothing. 12–18 month window before incumbents pivot.
4. Vertical Integration
We run a roofing business AND build the software. ABEPIM is tested on real jobs weekly. No other ConTech startup can claim this.
5. Platform Economics
Once embedded, cross-selling ABMR/ABCR/ABi is low-friction. Competitors sell net-new; we upgrade existing customers.

Customer ROI: What ABEPIM Replaces
A commercial roofing contractor pays $295K–$500K/year for knowledge work that ABEPIM handles at $6K–$36K/year — a 14–28× ROI. Payback period: under 27 days.
| Function | Current Annual Cost | ABEPIM Replaces |
| Commercial Estimator | $85K–$100K | 60–80% |
| Proposal Coordinator | $55K–$70K | 80% |
| Project Admin (2–3 FTEs) | $110K–$210K | 1–2 FTEs |
| Fractional CFO / Bookkeeper | $45K–$120K | Partially |

Exit Vision: Two Sides of ABCC
Year 5+ — ABCC holds the ABH construction portfolio AND the ABEPIM intelligence platform.
Construction side (ABH portfolio): ABCRC (50%) · ABMR (50%) · ABCR (50%) · ABi (65%)
Valued on operational multiples (EBITDA, ARR) — ABCC's equity share: $16.70M (conservative) / $21.73M (likely)
Intelligence side (ABEPIM): 100% ABCC-owned SaaS platform
Valued on platform multiples (10–20× ARR) — same comps as Procore, ServiceTitan, BuildOps: $54M–$180M
Two independent engines. The construction portfolio proves the product. The intelligence platform scales it to the world.
21
Exit Valuation: Combined ABCC Value
| Scenario | ABEPIM Valuation | Construction (ABCC equity) | Total ABCC Value |
| Conservative (6× ARR) | $54M | $16.70M | $70.70M |
| Base Case (10× ARR) | $90M | $21.73M | $111.73M |
| Upside (20× ARR) | $180M | $21.73M | $201.73M |
Construction: $16.70M–$21.73M ABCC equity. ABEPIM: $54M–$180M on top.
Multiple paths to a meaningful exit.
