Victoria, BC · roof reports + roofing software
Order roof measurement reports for Victoria houses, heritage homes and West Shore new builds from the office, price the re-roof from the take-off, and keep every lead, proposal and invoice in one roofing platform.
Roof Manager supports roofing contractors in Victoria and Greater Victoria. Report availability for an individual property depends on usable aerial or satellite imagery for that property.
Victoria roofers work across the Capital Region: Saanich, Oak Bay and Esquimalt next door, View Royal, Langford and Colwood on the West Shore. Each is its own municipality with its own building permits, so the City of Victoria rules below stop at the city limit. None of them has a Roof Manager city page: order for them from your account.

The City of Victoria issues its own building permits, business licences, heritage approvals and street permits, and a heritage-designated house adds its own approvals. These are the points a roofing crew meets on an ordinary Victoria job, from victoria.ca.
The City’s Permit Finder lists like-for-like replacement or maintenance of cladding, roofing, windows and doors among work that does not need a building permit. Replacing structural components such as beams, posts or load-bearing walls is on its list of work that does, and the City notes that other permit types, zoning and other bylaws may still apply.

The appearance and materials of a heritage-designated building may not be altered without the formal approval of Council. Regular maintenance needs no Heritage Alteration Permit when nothing changes in materials, design or appearance, and a building on the Heritage Register inside a heritage conservation area may need one depending on the scope of the work.
Every business in the City of Victoria must hold a business licence. The City’s Inter-Municipal Business Licence lets a business work in the 13 municipalities of the Capital Regional District, among them Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, Langford, Colwood, Sooke and Sidney, at no extra cost on top of the base licence.

Waste containers and bins, and construction deliveries, placed in the public right-of-way need a Street Occupancy Permit under the Streets and Traffic Bylaw. The City takes five to seven business days to issue one, and it does not issue them for crew parking.
Section 19(3) of the City’s Noise Bylaw allows construction that disturbs the public only from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays, holidays excepted. The bylaw gives no hours for Sundays or holidays, and it lets you apply for an exemption.
General information for contractors, checked October 13, 2026; it is not legal advice. Confirm with the City before you rely on it. Roof Manager does not obtain permits or licences for you. Province-wide rules: roofing in British Columbia.
For a Victoria crew, the report’s areas and edge lengths become the estimate, and the proposal the owner signs online carries through to the job and the invoice. What a report includes · the roofing CRM.

Not if you hold the Inter-Municipal Business Licence, which covers the 13 municipalities of the Capital Regional District at no extra cost on top of your base licence.
Under section 19(3) of the Noise Bylaw, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays, holidays excepted. The bylaw sets no Sunday or holiday hours.
Yes. Order them from your account like any Victoria address; each property still needs usable imagery. Those municipalities issue their own building permits, so the City of Victoria rules on this page do not apply there.
Any report can be switched to square metres and metres in the viewer, PDFs included. Reports open in imperial; roofing squares and bundles stay as ordering units.
On properties with high-quality imagery, Roof Manager measurements can achieve 98.5% accuracy against an on-roof tape measure. Accuracy depends on the quality and visibility of the available imagery.
