Roofing invoice pdf for Support

[Music] well hello my name is ray from applicat software today i want to look at our software quickly showing how we can estimate quantities for a roof and apply established pay rates for labor and materials to complete the work like most programs today our software has way more functionality than most people need let's concentrate on the basic principles of establishing a quotation for our customers and documentation for the installers the first step is to construct the roof geometry and we usually do that from an architectural plan so if i open up that an architectural plan and let's let's do this fella here so by reading the architectural plan into the underlay of our screen we can verify the information that's been provided so we give a quick look to make sure everything we need it looks pretty right there we have an overall dimension which we will now use to scale the underlay image so that we are actually working at full size so let's now measure the length of that dimension and zoom right in so we get the exact number now it's just as well we did check it because it's come in at 24 meters and we know it's to be 17020 so we hit scale and now the job has been rescaled so everything we do on the model now will be at full size so the next step is to then trace the outline so it's simply a matter of specifying that we're snapping to multiples of five mil so rounding it to the nearest five mil it's pretty accurate for building purposes and zooming into the corners of the wall pretty straightforward process really we're just tracing around the perimeter the closer you get the more precisely you can select the corner [Music] and we get to the second last corner we started over there and we went around we got to here we have a function in the software that provides our very first check that we've done the right thing and that is close square now in closing square the software has figured out those last two dimensions and if they don't match the plan i've made a mistake in digitising or there's a mistake in the plan now if i find a mistake like that there's absolutely no point going further without checking with the source of the information to make sure that we're working on the right version of the job let's assume that we're okay and so now we look at the setting the parameters for this roof the first thing we're going to do is specify the material we're going to do a metal roof the story number relates to well this is a single story structure so that that affects the pay rate so we'll use the single story single story pay rate um the pitch of the roof i believe the pitch of this roof was 25 degrees i read that from the specification sheet now i need to measure the overhang if we don't know that we can measure that from the plan so it looks like it's going to be yeah pretty close to 450 so let's make that 450. um eight height well that's probably 31.50 and rafter spacing that's used by the software to calculate rafter brackets and gut eclipse and whatever the eave is going to be so fascia and gutter gutter only fascia only or nothing let's do fascia and gutter and we hit okay and we don't need to change any other functions of the roof and we hit continue and the roof is built now we have a three-dimensional model of our roof that looks pretty much like a roof should look like it matches the plan that's been provided by our customer perfectly all the lines match up with the lines on the drawing we're pretty much good to go now given that the this matches the plan okay we can probably hide the plan now and concentrate on the 3d model we the next step after we've constructed the model of the roof is to check that it's correct we want to check first of all all the line categories the software knows what all the lines are it does that automatically and as a consequence when i calculate my price i'll get the right price for the valley and the right price for the hip and fascia and gutter and what have you so if all the line types are correct i can get to the next stage turn that off i can then dimension overall so check those against the plan once again always check the more we check the more chance we get it right then we do the overall measurements up the slope in 3d that's if i ran a tape up that valley i will get very close to five and a half meters and i can show the roof pitch verify i've got the correct roof pitch most mistakes we see are made because we use the incorrect roof pitch and all the panels are too long or too short and last but not least is a summary of all the roof quantities it tells me the volume of the attic space the area of the roof and it shows me the length of all the roof features and if i need to check that i can simply double click this button out here and the two valley lines flash at me or the hips show me all the hips the hips flash at me this is important checking stuff so that we when we provide a price for this job that we've actually pricing the correct information once we're satisfied that everything is correct we then go up to our reporting menu and we select the net only pricing model and we get a dollars per square for the roof we get a dollars per linear meter for each of the features of the roof so we've got a labor rate and a pay material pay rate and then we select print and select the category of material and the color hasn't been determined yet and then we select the template that we want to print we go let's go to our quote form and hit ok and the quote form is printed and it does that by opening opening up the template and filling out the form in microsoft word and that's happening so it's filling out the form and providing us with that quotation for our customer so that's the basic process it's quick and easy and 100 accurate so it's all about being able to reproduce the price technique get the right price for the right materials for the right job and we're done thanks for your time and if there's any questions feel free to call us at any time [Music] you
