Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is included in a roofing cost estimation report?
Our roofing estimate includes material takeoffs for roof sheets (by profile and pitch), flashings, gutters, downpipes, underlay, safety mesh, penetrations like skylights or vents, and all relevant accessories. We also factor in wastage buffers and overlap allowances for real-world accuracy.
Do you include flashings, penetrations, and safety mesh in the estimate?
Yes. Our standard roofing BOQ includes flashings (ridge, barge, apron, valleys), roof penetrations, and safety mesh if specified. We follow trade-specific practices so no scope is missed or under-allowed.
Can I see a sample roofing BOQ before I proceed?
Absolutely. We offer sample reports so you can review the structure, level of detail, and formatting before sending your project. This helps ensure it aligns with your expectations and quoting process.
How accurate are your roofing takeoffs?
Each takeoff is prepared using digital construction software and reviewed by a senior estimator before delivery. We cross-check all quantities with your plans and ensure consistency with NZ supplier expectations and building code requirements.
How long does it take to get a roofing estimate?
We typically deliver roofing takeoffs within 48 hours, depending on the scope and complexity of the project. Larger commercial jobs may take slightly longer, but we always provide a timeline upfront in your quote.
What format will I receive the roofing estimate in?
You’ll receive the estimate in Excel (BOQ or SOQ format), grouped by item type and quantity. We also offer PDF versions for sharing or internal use, and NZS4202:1995 formatting upon request.
