What Is Roofing & Exterior Finishes Estimating?
Roofing and exterior finishes estimating are the calculations for roof square footage, siding and cladding materials, and the flashing and trim items that complete the weather envelope of a building.
Roof area by slope and material is being taken off, exterior wall cladding, soffit, fascia, and the flashing at each transition and penetration are being accounted for.
The correct quantities are also critical to the material ordering and scheduling process when the project is awarded — an incorrect roofing & exterior finishes takeoff can cause issues long after the project is won.
Our Roofing & Exterior Finishes Takeoff Process
Siding estimating services job undertaken by the siding starts with a thorough evaluation of the associated drawings and specifications, and a comprehensive quantity take-off, categorized around the most critical categories to producing accurate pricing.
After amounts are determined, a second measurement person checks to see if amounts are correct before any pricing is added to the bid, which can help ensure there are no measurement errors or scope gaps before the price is submitted.
What's Included in Our Roofing & Exterior Finishes Estimate
The roof area take-off will be provided in both plane and material and a separate siding and cladding quantity schedule as well as a linear footage summary of flashing and trim for materials ordering.
Files are provided in spreadsheet and PDF formats, with the option of customization to your company’s favorite takeoff template or bid format, if they have one.
Key Considerations for Rough Carpentry & Millwork Estimating
The amount of materials and cost of labor are greatly influenced by the roof pitch so our takeoffs work out the true sloped area and not just the plan dimensions. On reroofing projects we are also considering the scope of tear off/disposal, which is in addition to the roofing cost for the new construction projects.
Residential vs. Commercial Roofing & Exterior Finishes Estimating
Residential roofing projects usually will feature asphalt shingle or metal roofing on less complex roof designs while commercial roofing projects will often be more complex and have a much larger roof surface area with more complex roof geometry, and require more complex low-slope membrane roof systems.
