Roofing estimating software that measures, calculates, and prices in one workflow.
Measure roofs on site or in the office - phone, tablet or desktop - with Roof Scan Assist, calculate materials and labour automatically with Smart Components™, and turn estimates into quotes without re-entering data. Start in a Free Workspace, then upgrade only if you need more features, capacity or usage.

What is roofing estimating software?
Roofing estimating software helps contractors measure roof areas, calculate material quantities, apply labour costs, and produce accurate pricing for a job before a quote is sent.
Traditional estimating often means scaling rulers on paper plans, entering numbers into spreadsheets, and manually calculating waste, pitch adjustments and material counts. Every step is a chance for an error, and the same calculations get repeated on every job.
QuoteCore+ replaces that process with a connected estimating workflow. Digital takeoff tools measure the roof. Smart Components™ apply your stored materials, labour, waste and pricing rules automatically. The estimate becomes a quote without manual re-entry, and the same data carries through to material orders and invoices. The whole workflow runs on phone, tablet or desktop - measure the roof on site and continue the same job back at the office.
However you measure - square feet, roofing squares or square metres, shingles, metal roofing or membrane, your own labor rates in dollars per square or per m² - the estimating rules are yours. Build your roofing estimate, then send it as a quote, bid or proposal without re-entering data. For the measurement side, see roofing takeoff software; for the broader workflow, contractor estimating and quoting software.

Three ways to get from measurements to an estimate
Every path feeds the same saved pricing logic - start from the measurement source you actually have.
01
Measure the roof in QuoteCore+
Measure roof areas, ridges, hips, valleys and spouting from plans or images with digital takeoff on phone, tablet or desktop. Use Roof Scan Assist where it helps, then review and correct before pricing.

02
Enter measurements you already have
Site measure, third-party report, aerial or satellite measurements - enter the dimensions and Smart Components™ apply your saved materials, labour, waste and pricing rules.
See measurement-to-quote →
03
Ask Smart Assistant
Use text or voice to find information and carry out supported tasks in your account - while you stay in control of important changes.
Example: ask Smart Assistant “What’s the status of the Ridge Road quote?” or “Show me this month’s sent quotes” - find things without navigating every screen.
Key estimating features
The tools that make estimating faster and more accurate in QuoteCore+.
Digital roof takeoff
Measure roof areas, lengths and pitch from uploaded plans on phone, tablet or desktop. Handles angles, complex geometry and multiple roof sections.
Roof Scan Assist
Automatically identifies roof areas, ridges, hips, valleys, barges and spouting from an uploaded plan. Review and adjust before pricing.
Smart Components™
Save materials, labour, waste, pitch calculations and pricing rules as reusable components. Drop them into any estimate.
Material ordering
Turn estimate quantities into a material order with supplier details carried over. No re-keying from the quote.
How estimating works in QuoteCore+
From plan upload to priced estimate in four steps.
Upload plans or use AI scan
Upload a roof plan, satellite image or drawing - on phone, tablet or desktop. Use Roof Scan Assist to identify roof areas, ridges, hips, valleys, barges and spouting automatically, or measure manually with digital takeoff tools.
Measure roof areas, lengths and pitch
Name each roof area, assign pitch and material type. Digital takeoff handles angles, pitches and complex roof geometry. Adjust any measurement manually before moving to pricing.
Smart Components apply materials, labour, waste and pricing
Measurements feed directly into Smart Components, which apply your saved materials, labour rates, waste allowances and pricing rules automatically. No manual re-entry, no spreadsheet formulas.
Review, adjust and send as a quote
Check the estimate, adjust quantities or pricing, then send it to the customer as a professional quote. The same data carries through to material orders and invoices if the quote is accepted.
What QuoteCore+ estimates
Roofing-specific measurement types handled by the estimating workflow.
- ✓Roof areas (m², sq ft, roofing squares)
- ✓Ridge, hip, valley and barge lengths
- ✓Spouting and guttering lengths
- ✓Material quantities with waste allowances
- ✓Labour costs based on your rates
- ✓Pitch-adjusted surface areas
What QuoteCore+ does not do
No CRM or lead generation
QuoteCore+ handles the estimating-to-invoice workflow. It does not manage sales pipelines, marketing campaigns, or customer acquisition.
No accounting or tax returns
Estimates and invoices are created and tracked, but QuoteCore+ does not handle VAT/GST returns, profit and loss, or balance sheets. Use accounting software for that.
No payment processing
Invoices include payment instructions, but QuoteCore+ does not process card or bank payments directly. Customers pay via bank transfer, Stripe links or PayPal links configured per invoice.
When QuoteCore+ may not be the right fit
You only need a basic material calculator
If you estimate a few jobs a month with a simple spreadsheet or calculator and that works for you, QuoteCore+ may be more than you need. It adds the most value when you estimate frequently and want a connected workflow from measurement to invoice.
You need full project management
QuoteCore+ handles estimating, quoting, material ordering and invoicing, not construction project management. If you need scheduling, Gantt charts, or resource allocation, use dedicated project management software.
Common questions
Can QuoteCore+ estimate roofing materials from a plan?
Yes. Upload a roof plan and use digital takeoff tools or Roof Scan Assist to identify roof areas, ridges, hips, valleys, barges and spouting. Measurements feed directly into Smart Components, which apply your stored materials, quantities, waste allowances and pricing rules to produce a material estimate automatically.
How accurate is Roof Scan Assist for estimating?
Roof Scan Assist identifies roof areas, ridges, hips, valleys, barges and spouting from an uploaded plan. It speeds up the measuring process significantly, but results should always be reviewed and adjusted manually before finalising an estimate. QuoteCore+ gives you full control to correct any measurement before it becomes part of a quote.
Can I reuse estimating rules across jobs?
Yes. Smart Components let you save materials, labour, waste allowances, pitch calculations, drawings and pricing rules as reusable building blocks. Once configured, the same components can be dropped into any future estimate, so you are not rebuilding pricing logic from scratch for every job.
Does QuoteCore+ handle waste allowances?
Yes. Waste allowances can be built into Smart Components as a percentage or fixed quantity. When a component is used in an estimate, the waste is calculated automatically and included in the material quantities and pricing.
Can I estimate labour costs, not just materials?
Yes. Smart Components can store labour rules alongside materials. Labour rates, time estimates and crew sizing can all be configured per component, so labour costs are calculated automatically as part of the estimate.
How is estimating different from quoting in QuoteCore+?
Estimating is the process of measuring, calculating quantities and pricing a job. Quoting is turning that estimate into a professional document you send to a customer for approval. In QuoteCore+, both happen in one connected workflow: your measurements and pricing become a quote without manual re-entry, and the same data carries through to material orders and invoices.
Can I estimate from my phone or tablet?
Yes. The full measure-to-quote workflow - plan upload, digital takeoff, Roof Scan Assist, Smart Components pricing and quote creation - runs on phones and tablets as well as desktop. Measure the roof on site, save and continue, and the same job is ready when you open it on another device.
What is Smart Assistant?
Smart Assistant is an in-app assistant that works with the data in your QuoteCore+ account. Ask by text or voice to find jobs, quotes, orders and invoices, or carry out supported tasks - important changes are proposed for your confirmation first. It is an easier way to work with your own data, not a replacement for your estimating judgement.
