Why roofers switch
Where the money
actually goes
Roofing is quoted as a lump sum more than almost any trade, which is why a steep roof and a low one too often carry the same price, and why rotten battens turn into an argument rather than a variation.
Swiftscope prices roofing the way it is actually built: area and pitch for the sheeting, linear metres for everything that runs along an edge.
What generic job software gets wrong
- No pitch multiplier, so the roof that needs harnesses and staging is priced like a garage
- Ridge, valley, fascia, gutter and downpipe collapsed into one 'flashings' line
- Colorbond, terracotta and concrete tile treated as the same job on the same rate
What we ask for instead
The fields that actually move the number.
- Roof area in square metres, with pitch as a labour multiplier so a steep roof is not priced like a low one
- Colorbond, terracotta, concrete tile or a mixed roof, each on its own rate
- Ridge, valley, fascia, gutter and downpipe by linear metre
- Whirlybirds and skylights counted separately
- Re-roof, repair, new, gutters or inspection as distinct job types
Getting started
Set up in minutes,
not a fortnight
The reason most tradies never finish setting up job software is the data entry nobody warns them about. Swiftscope starts from the price file your supplier already sends you.
Load your supplier's sheeting, capping and guttering prices as a CSV. Sheet by the square metre, ridge and gutter by the metre, and the fixings you go through by the box.
Save the job you quote most often as a package. After that it is one tap, not a rebuild.
Your hourly rate, margin and terms become the baseline on every quote. Change them once and everything after follows.
Example package
Gutter and downpipe replacement
Gutter by the metre, brackets, downpipes, shoes and the disposal allowance, saved as one item you drop into any restoration quote.
Anti-Ponding Board
$6.45, roofing supplies
Materials and labour stay split, so a supplier price rise shows up in your margin instead of hiding in it.
How the quoting works
Quoted before you
leave the driveway
The quote that wins is usually the one that arrives first, while the job is still fresh in the client's head. Everything below happens standing in the job, on a phone, one handed.
Area and pitch
Square metres and low, standard or steep. The pitch multiplier handles the labour difference.
Roof type
Colorbond, terracotta, concrete tile or mixed, each on its own rate.
Runs and extras
Ridge, valley, fascia, gutter and downpipe by the metre. Whirlybirds and skylights by count.
Send from the roof
Photograph what you found, attach it, and send the quote before you are back down the ladder.
Against a spreadsheet: no hunting for the last similar job, no retyping client details, no formatting. Against a desktop tool: no waiting until 9pm, which is the real reason quotes go out late or not at all.

AI that knows your trade
Two ways in, both on site
Swiftscope runs a different prompt for each trade, so it is reading your plan and listening to your description with your work in mind. You confirm every number before it reaches a client. The AI drafts, you decide.
Mark up the drawing
Photograph the roof from the ground or mark up a site plan, and use the drawing tools to set out areas and runs while you are still on the job.
Or just talk
Describe the job out loud, walking the site. Swiftscope turns it into priced line items you can correct before sending.
"Full re-roof, about one-eighty square, standard pitch, colorbond. Twenty-two metres of ridge, fourteen of valley, and replace all the gutters and three downpipes."
Variations that stick
Battens that are rotten once the tiles come off. Raise it, get it accepted, and keep the original quote intact.
After they say yes
The quote becomes
the job
Schedule around the weather, track the crew's hours, and when the battens come up rotten, raise the variation with the photo attached so nobody argues about whether it was there. Then invoice and push to Xero.
Nothing is retyped between quote, job and invoice, which is where most double-entry and most disputes come from.
Schedule and crew
Put the job in the calendar, assign who is on it, and see the week on a map so you are not crossing town twice.
Dockets and variations
Day works signed on the spot on the client's phone, and variations accepted in writing before the extra work starts.
Invoice and Xero
Deposits, progress claims and final invoices built from the quote, pushed straight to Xero rather than exported and re-keyed.
Margin, job by job
Hours and materials tracked against what you quoted, so you find out which jobs make money while you can still do something about it.

Tracked automatically across jobs
$45 a month. That is the whole price.
No per-user fee, so putting your apprentice on it costs nothing. No per-job credits, so a flat-out month costs the same as a quiet one. No per-lead charge on directory enquiries.
