ESTIMAXRequest a quoteRoofing estimates that bring roof geometry, coverings, flashings, rainwater goods and specified insulation into one defined package.
TALK TO AN EXPERT
For roofers and builders, Estimax measures the documented roof system from plans, elevations and sections. The roofing takeoff separates coverings from perimeter details and supporting accessories, allowing quantities and prices to be reviewed by roof zone. Use the package for tendering, material enquiries or budget review, with structural framing and other trade boundaries agreed at the outset.
Quantities follow the issued drawings and the package you engage us to assess. Select the relevant work, then agree the boundaries before measurement begins.
Roof covering areas are measured in m² using documented pitches and roof geometry, not just the flat plan footprint. Flashings, gutters and downpipes are scheduled in linear metres, with outlets and penetrations counted. Sheet lengths, laps and ordering allowances follow the nominated product and layout information available.
The schedule identifies roof profiles or tile types, finishes, flashings, fasteners, insulation, membranes and rainwater goods. Accessories are matched to the specified system. Nominated proprietary skylights or roof plant interfaces are separated for specialist quotation or coordination where appropriate.
Pitch, height, roof complexity, handling distances and access affect installation. Replacement work also needs removal, disposal and temporary weather protection boundaries. Lift requirements, restricted working hours and sequencing with roof-mounted services are recorded in the pricing basis.
The estimate needs a stated basis. These are the details we examine before treating two quantities as equivalent work.
Multiple hips, valleys, small roof planes and penetrations increase detailing and cutting compared with a simple roof.
Profile, metal finish, insulation and gutter configuration influence quantities and supplier pricing.
Lifting, edge access, occupied buildings and staged stripping can affect plant, labour and temporary protection.
Read pitch, profile and layout together. Confirm the distinction between net covering area and procurement quantities.
Measure ridges, valleys, parapets and penetrations as named details. These are not assumed to be included in every square-metre rate.
Track gutters, outlets and downpipes to the documented connection points. Hydraulic design and downstream drainage remain separate unless included.
Send the latest coordinated issue and identify the tender deadline, project location and package boundaries.
Deliverables, file format and the pricing basis are confirmed in your scope. Any marked-up drawings or additional reporting are agreed before work starts.

Estimax provides roofing estimating services for projects across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin and Regional Australia.
Share your documentation digitally. We confirm the project location, access conditions and required delivery date so these can inform the estimating brief.
Yes, where the pitch is documented. If only a flat roof plan is supplied, missing geometry is clarified or explicitly assumed before the takeoff is finalised.
They can be scheduled separately within the roofing package. The connection boundary with hydraulic or civil drainage is agreed to avoid duplicated scope.
Yes. Existing material, access, removal requirements and staging information help define the replacement scope. Unknown existing conditions remain qualified.
For roofing, the value is in connecting the quantities to the actual work. We keep the documented scope, measurement basis and outstanding questions available for review.
Review plans, schedules and details together. Keep drawing references with the quantities and raise conflicting information.
Separate measured work, agreed allowances and exclusions so you can assess the basis behind the estimate.
Agree the deliverables, communicate scope questions and issue documentation structured for your tender or procurement review.
Send your drawings, specifications and required date. We’ll review the information and confirm the next steps.
