Components overview

Components are the core of the targeted quoting system. This is where you create, edit, and define what items end up in your quote or pricing. Each component has a name, measurement type (lineal or area squared), cost per unit, labor cost per unit, pitch calculations for roofing, component waste settings, ability to add to orders, and more.

What can be a component?

Roofing tiles, longrun iron, metal flashings (ridge, hips, valleys, barge, custom), roofing underlay, netting, insulation, roofing membrane, fixings, skylights, metal fascia, gutter or spouting, downpipes. Absolutely anything that you use or install on a roof or job can be configured as a component.

You may only have 4 or 5 key components that you use, or you may have hundreds. Either way, you can create and fully customise everything about them.

Why components matter

Set them up once and every quote after that is faster, more consistent, and harder to get wrong. You change a price once and every new quote uses the new price.

The library scales with the work. The system is tailored for roofing but can be adapted to include cladding, foundations, windows, flooring, and more.

Extras vs Main components

Most components are Main (core job items). Extras are a separate bucket for one-off items, items you want recorded but hidden from the customer quote, labor extras, delivery, or custom multipliers. See Components vs Extras.
