How does Go iPave work?

It’s simple! First you enter an address, business name or street intersection to locate your property and Go iPave will return a property photo to you. Then, with a few clicks of the mouse you can measure any outdoor surface on the property. Save all of your measurements to an Excel spreadsheet and property photos as jpeg files to your computer.

How can I get started?

You can subscribe to Go iPave online or over the phone with a Go iPave rep. We have plans to fit any company’s needs. Visit the Pricing & Plans page to learn more, or call 800.280.5153 Monday-Friday between 8-5 EST. You can also send us an email.

Property Photos and Imagery: Why are the images so clear, how old are the photos, what is your coverage area?

Why are the images so clear?

Go iPave uses high resolution aerial photography (taken from a plane). Aerial photos are clearer than a standard satellite photo because they are taken much closer to the earth with a high resolution camera lens. Plus, most of our aerial images are taken after the leaves have fallen off of the trees so tree canopies won’t obstruct your view of the surface you need to measure.

How old are the photos?

The age of the photos varies by county. Typically aerial photos are taken per county request.

What is your coverage area?

We offer 100% coverage of the U.S. and Canada.

Measure any outdoor surface for any property type on Go iPave with our measuring tools. The area tool and linear distance tool are among the most popular in the tool set. We have several tools to help you measure property features (parking lots, sidewalks, cracks, patches, parking spaces etc.), as well as annotation tools to help you call out property features or make important notes.

Can I save and print property measurements and photos?

Yes. Measurements are formatted to an Excel spreadsheet and photos save as .jpeg files. You can also save a “workspace” to your computer, which is a Go iPave file that retains your measurements so you can reload your work to complete or modify your property measurements.

What is a property report?

A property report consists of property specific information that may include property owner information, full mailing address, county, assessor’s parcel number, mailing carrier route, subdivision and land use identifiers, phone number, lot and building size, and total assessed and taxable values. This information comes from county auditor records. You can export property reports to an Excel spreadsheet and save them to your computer.

*Property reports are currently available for properties located in the U.S only.

What is a neighborhood report?

A neighborhood report provides users with area demographics. Neighborhood reports are derived from U.S. census results, which group properties into ‘blocks’ of census respondents by FIPS code. Average household size, number of owner occupied and renter occupied homes, household income, net worth, disposable income, and tax value of the property is often included in a neighborhood information report. Average and total annual spend on pets, maintenance, home improvement, and lawn may also be included.
