Roof Project Estimation


This was something I'd thought I'd play around with.

I am a general & roofing contractor and I also do mechanical drafting so I thought I would combine my skills. This can be done with plans or field measurements. Take a look at the red highlighted area. I used some house plans I am going to bid out.

Give me your thoughts on this.

There are several programs which allow you to do take off on PDF. Anything that gives you an edge is worth persuing.
