replacing tiled roof with tin

[Olive]

maz id love a tin roof but not for those prices nothing beats the sound of rain on a tin roof!

Ok, these prices are for us in central qld, material will come from probably 2 hours away, so might be bit higher.

1. Measure site, take quantities and sign contract - $900.
2. Labour & costs to obtain Home Warranty Insurance - $750. Any work over a certain amount needs this I believe? Our warranty arrived in the mail the other day. If something goes wrong within the next 10 years, we are covered.

3. Install Tiger tail (complies with local energy supplier and work cover requirements) I think this is a cover that wraps around the electrical line entering the house from the powerpole out the front, if that makes sense?

4. Scaffolding - again to comply with work cover. $3500 (I have heard that some people here in town were being charged $8000 for their scaffolding)

5. Corrugated roofing sheets - $3750

6. Sarking and insulation blanket $825. This goes underneath the roofing, and does help a little with the heat, PLUS, I was told by several other people it is a requirement if you are replacing a certain percentage of your roof.?? Not sure how true that is though??

7. Materials- flashing, cappings, and valleys - $ 300
8. labour and materials to batten screw $850
9.Crane materials to and from roof (highset house) $250. I don't know if this is for the solar hot water system only or everything else as well.

10. labour to remove and replace all roof sheets - $6000. (they worked this out by taking our roof measurement of 150m2 multiplying it by $40)

11. Labvour and matgerial to replace roof protrusion flashing $100
12.Fixings and hardware $250
13. Cleaning entire site of all building waste and debris on completion of works and remove it from site - $500. (this is a fee charged by the local dump)

These prices DO NOT include GST! Plus there is also a builder margin on top of it all as well. There was also a location allowance added on top.
They allow for a 10% increase in the total roof measurements for the pitch of the roof and for wastage, incase the roof is out of square. I think it comes to probably a bit under $30,000.. I left out the other bits, like the new solar hot water, and whirly birds

Definately shop around though. we got another quote for the insurance company and it came to about 20 grand more..

The company i work for built a house 210m2 (thats the closest in size i could find to yours) last year and the metal roof cost $3000 inc GST if thats any help.

I just spoke to J and he informed me that the price of a tile roof is generally already incorporated into the price of a house and the $3000 you are talking about is the 'extra' for the metal roof. so the roof would be alot more then just the $3000 IFYKWIM.

For the record..J said if your building company does roofs for that cheap you guys can come and do ours

ok J just also said that to work out a 'rough' cost is

22 squares x 9.29 will give you the 'squares' your case 204.38
then times that amount by $16 a m at supply ONLY...that's just the metal sheeting. hon = $3270.48

Thats NO labour ($150 an hour plumber and thats just one) no screws, no capping.

back to the tiles now babe ...ive got a trailer load spare ones if you want them for free

If you are planning to make it a brand new metal roof, then you have to know that exact area of your house. And the design of your roof should be considered to. If you know an engineer, you can ask him to estimate the cost. Roofers
