RoofMaster Profile
The software to suit all primary roof systems -with simplified output
The RoofMaster software provides professional roofing contractors and estimators with a complete suite of tools for roof modelling, estimating and presentation in three dimensions - the output is a simplified version based on the geometric quantities from the 3D model and pricing based on cost per square (metre or foot) for materials and cost per square for labour.
RoofMaster takes the chore out of roof modelling and estimating. The estimator gains immediate benefits in producing accurate designs and precise quotations for a wide range of roof designs and styles. A reduced set of detailed forms is produced so that everyone involved in the process has a record of the proposed transaction with a roof plan.
Completing a job in RoofMaster
Completing a job is based on
what we call "The AppliCad Process". The process consists of
four parts.
- Model the roof.
Obviously to produce an accurate quote, you need to start with an accurate model. Using a variety of AppliCad features to speed up the input, and check the validity of the dimensions, most roof models can be input in minutes. Dormers, verandahs, multi-hips and multi story roofs are all a breeze. Commands such as "Recover Outline" and "Track-Outline" provide quick recovery of mistakes, and quicker input of new jobs. Even at this stage you can output the roof area and lengths with NO more work.

With the material and labour nett rates defined and the required rates file selected all you need to do is select which type of quote or take-off you wish to produce. Do you want a price for just the supply of materials, or do you want the labour calculated as well? RoofMAster will calculatethe total cost (with or without labour), and print out all the reports you may need. Print your quotation letter, total roof sumary, roof plan and more. All with an image of the roof to be built and more detail that you could ever need. Click here for more information on the take-off process (will open in a new window).
