The sample budget provided is a comprehensive inventory of customer-facing costs, but not indicative of accurate labor or material rates. Costs such as insurance, safety equipment, timecards, and benefits, for example, are built into the estimate as part of the overhead costs. Overhead costs vary from business-to-business and project-to-project. There could also be tax advantages to some projects, and sales tax varies from state to state. Ultimately, it is the estimator’s responsibility to capture all of this data in a presentable and easy to understand format. When in doubt, always communicate the project concerns with the skilled tradesmen of the industry as well as itemize exclusions and clarifications.

In summary, aside from the roofing materials outlined in the specifications or drawings, there are many factors that contribute to how to Build a takeoff of a sheet metal roof.

This guide serves as a sufficient starting point for how to estimate a sheet metal roof for any project.
