Insulation cost estimation services tailored for all your construction projects
We provide accurate takeoffs for ceiling, wall and underfloor insulation. Each report is scoped to your drawings, aligned with R-value zones and local compliance requirements
Why Getting Insulration Quantities Right Is Essential
Avoid Shortfalls That Delay Site Work
We calculate wall, ceiling, and floor coverage based on framing layouts and cavity size to reduce ordering errors.
Ensure Product Fit by R-Value and Zone
Quantities are aligned with insulation zones, R-value requirements, and local construction standards.
Simplify Compliance and Council Submissions
Accurate quantities help document your build-up correctly, especially for thermal calculations and H1 assessments.
Quote Faster Without Guessing Coverage
Room-by-room estimates make it easier to structure pricing, supplier requests, or bundled trade packages.
Match Your Estimation to What’s Installed
We scope according to real framing and install logic, not just surface area.
What’s Included in Your Insulation Estimate
Our estimates cover everything needed to order, quote, or verify insulation scope on residential and commercial jobs. We break it down by zone, material, and R-value category to ensure clarity across the board.
Your Insulation Estimation Covers:
- Ceiling, wall, and underfloor insulation quantities
- R-value alignment based on insulation zones or building type
- Coverage segmented by room or floor level
- Optional thermal lining or wrap quantities (if specified)
- Fixings and accessories scoped if part of your spec
- Exclusions or notes clearly listed for installer reference
What We Include in Every Insulation Estimate
Our estimates are more than sheet counts. Here’s what we consistently deliver with every roofing project scope.
Room-by-Room Quantities for Ceilings, Walls, and Floors.
We extract insulation quantities directly from your project drawings. Each takeoff is prepared using cavity dimensions, wall build-ups, and R-value specifications to ensure scope accuracy.
Included in every estimate:
- Ceiling, internal, and external wall insulation
- Underfloor coverage where applicable
- Room segmentation for multi-zone jobs
- R-value classification for each area
Insulation Costs Structured by Area, Material, and R-Value
We can include insulation pricing based on your supplier rates or standard NZ market data. Each BOQ is built to reflect how materials are purchased and applied in real-world site workflows.
What we can provide:
- Material pricing grouped by insulation type and zone
- Labour hours estimated by area or product type (if required)
- Summary totals per room, floor, or project section
- Optional add-on materials like wrap or acoustic lining
Realistic Buffers for Cutting Waste and Coverage Gaps
We include waste allowances based on framing layout, product sizing, and install method. This ensures your estimate reflects how insulation is actually fitted on site, not just what’s drawn on plans.
What’s factored in:
- Cutting waste for batts, rolls, or rigid panels
- Overlap allowances for wall and ceiling junctions
- Extra material around penetrations and framing irregularities
- Waste percentages adjusted by install type and room shape
Estimated Labour Effort by Area and Insulation Type
We can include optional labour inputs to help you plan installation workload or validate subcontractor quotes. These figures are adjusted based on building type, framing accessibility, and insulation method.
What can be included:
- Hours per square metre for walls, ceilings, and underfloors
- Adjustments for tight-access or multi-level installs
- Labour breakdown by room or zone if needed
- Useful for workforce planning and quote benchmarking
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What types of insulation do you include in your estimate?
We estimate ceiling, wall, and underfloor insulation based on your plans. This includes batts, rolls, or rigid board insulation depending on your specifications.
Do you include fixings or accessories in the BOQ?
Yes. If your plans specify fixings, wraps, or thermal lining, we include those in the takeoff. Otherwise, we clearly mention them as exclusions.
How long does it take to receive an insulation estimate?
Most insulation takeoffs are completed and delivered within 48 hours. If your project is large or has complex zoning, we’ll confirm the timeline upfront.
How do you calculate insulation quantities?
We measure framing areas and cavity depths directly from your drawings. R-values and zoning are factored in to ensure the correct coverage is included per space.
Can I use this estimate to place an order with my supplier?
Absolutely. The quantities are grouped by insulation type, R-value, and floor level — making it easy to send for pricing or ordering.
Do you follow NZ compliance or thermal performance rules?
Yes. We scope the insulation according to R-values and coverage requirements relevant to New Zealand building zones and energy efficiency standards.
