Methodology & Standards
Our take-off and estimating service follows industry-standard methodology and Australian drawing standards to ensure accuracy and consistency across all project types.
AppliCad Roof Wizard
Industry-Standard Roof Modelling
One of Australia's leading 3D roof modelling platforms. Used by estimators, roofing contractors and builders nationwide for accurate sheet, flashing and accessory take-offs from architectural plans.
AS 1100.301:2008
Technical Drawing — Architectural
Australian standard for architectural drawing conventions. Our estimators read and interpret plans to AS 1100.301 — ensuring correct interpretation of roof geometry, eave details, and flashing requirements.
NCC 2022
National Construction Code
Take-offs account for NCC 2022 requirements including minimum roof pitch, flashing laps, and fastener spacing for the applicable wind region and terrain category.
AS/NZS 1170.2:2021
Wind Actions
Fastener quantities and spacing are calculated with reference to the project's wind region (A–D) and terrain category. Coastal and cyclonic regions require increased fastener density.
BlueScope Span Tables
Sheeting Span & Fastener Data
Sheet quantities, lap lengths and fastener schedules are derived from BlueScope's published span tables for COLORBOND® profiles — Trimdek®, Klip-Lok®, Spandek® and others.
AISC / NASH
Steel Framing Estimating
Structural steel and light steel framing take-offs reference AISC and NASH (National Association of Steel-Framed Housing) guidelines for member sizing, connection details and quantity schedules.
