Industries / Roofing
Squares, systems, and crews at commercial scale.
Large roofing contractors price the same few systems across hundreds of roofs a year, and the margin is in the details: tear-off, insulation tapers, flashing, penetrations, and how fast a crew installs on a given roof. The database has to carry those details so every estimator prices them the same way.
What’s different here
What makes estimating different here.
Systems, not line items
A roof is a system — deck prep, insulation, cover board, membrane, flashing, and edge metal — and manufacturers specify how they go together. Assemblies should price the whole system from one takeoff.
Tear-off and existing conditions
Re-roofs start with what’s already there: layers to remove, wet insulation, deck repair. Those conditions change the number more than the new system does.
Waste and details add up
Laps, cut waste, perimeters, curbs, drains, and penetrations are real cost. Priced as a flat add, they hide; counted from the takeoff, they’re visible.
Production changes with the roof
Height, access, roof size, and complexity decide how many squares a crew installs a day. Condition factors keep labor honest across very different jobs.
How we set it up
What the implementation includes.
Kickoff to live in weeks, not months, using the internal tools we’ve built for implementation.
- Assemblies for each roofing system you install, built to manufacturer requirements
- Tear-off, deck repair, and existing-condition items priced as explicit inputs
- Area, perimeter, and count takeoff for field, edges, and penetrations, wired into the database
- Crew production rates and condition factors built from your completed jobs
- Material pricing structured for frequent updates as membrane, insulation, and metal prices move
- Reporting for owner proposals, warranty requirements, and internal job budgets
