The problem
Roofing jobs have too many variables to quote from memory
Tile counts, felt rolls, batten lengths, lead flashing, ridge caps, and scaffold hire — miss any one of them and the margin disappears. Insurance and storm damage work needs a detailed breakdown that loss adjusters will accept. And domestic clients, already anxious about roofing costs, need a clear written quote to trust you before a single tile is moved.
The solution
Built for the way roofers actually price work
Pitched Roof Line Items
Structure a full re-roof quote: strip and dispose, felt, battens, tiles, ridge tiles, lead flashing, and fixings — each line costed and totalled automatically.
Flat Roof Quote Structure
GRP and EPDM jobs need a completely different line structure. Build OSB deck, drip edge, fibreglass mat, resin, topcoat, and trim as their own sections — no rigid templates.
Scaffold as a Transparent Cost
Add scaffold erection, weekly hire, and strike as separate line items — never buried in a lump sum. Clients see the cost upfront; no disputes when the hire period extends.
Insurance-Ready PDF Exports
Loss adjusters require itemised cost breakdowns to approve claims. Export a detailed, line-by-line PDF and submit it directly — first-pass approval every time.
Labour Costing by Phase
Add your labourer and apprentice rates. Assign hours per phase — stripping, felting, tiling, leadwork, making good. CostForge calculates the total without a spreadsheet.
Before & after
What changes when roofers use CostForge
Re-roof quoted as a single price on a compliment slip — client has no idea what tiles, felt, or scaffold is included
Itemised PDF with tile count, felt, battens, ridge, lead flashing, scaffold erection and hire, and labour. Client knows exactly what they're getting before they commit.
Scaffold hire runs a week longer than planned — client refuses to pay the extra because it wasn't on the original quote
Scaffold erection, weekly hire rate, and expected strike date stated as separate line items. Extension costs are a clear variation, not a surprise.
Storm damage claim quote knocked together quickly — loss adjuster rejects it and asks for a full breakdown
Itemised CostForge PDF sent with the initial claim: strip, felt, battens, tiles, lead, and labour per phase. Loss adjuster approves on first submission.
