Why a separate takeoff

Roofing Takeoffs and Estimates

Precise roofing material takeoffs and cost estimates for new installations, replacements, and commercial roofing.

Replacements

Tear-off and reroof quantities from the roof plan and details.

New installations

Steep-slope and low-slope roofs on residential and commercial work.

Commercial roofing

Tile, slate, metal, and membrane systems priced for the project location.

Also priced with the MEP set

Roof covering

Shingles, tile, metal, or membrane, measured from the roof plans.

Underlayment

Underlayment and ice barrier where the details call for them.

Flashing and metal

Edge metal, valleys, wall flashing, and drip edge as their own lines.

Accessories

Vents, penetrations, and other roof accessories counted off the drawings.

 

How the number is built

Quantities from the drawings, prices from the zip code

PlanSwift is used for the on-screen takeoff. Material and labor are lined out by CSI division, then priced with zip-code data so the bid reflects the project location, not a national average. Estimates follow AACE and AIQS standards.

For roofing contractors, general contractors, home builders, and developers.

Turnaround

Usually 3 to 5 business days

Delivery time depends on the size of the set. After the plans are in, you get a quote with the turnaround before any work starts.

How It Works

01

Send the plans

Share drawings by Google Drive, OneDrive, email, or a file link. Bid sets, schematic, design development, and construction documents are all fine.

02

Receive your quote

The plans are reviewed and you get a price, a turnaround, and a delivery date.

03

Takeoff and pricing

Digital quantities are organized by CSI division, with material and labor broken out.

04

Excel and markups

You receive the estimate in Excel, in CSI MasterFormat, with color-coded PlanSwift markups.

 

What you get back
