Built for roofers, not adapted for them
Every figure below is read from the Roofing rate card, takeoff engine and hazard library inside Sumitt when this page renders. It cannot say more than the product does, and it moves the day the card does.
The Roofing rate card
Size field: Roof area (m²)19 lines in 6 groups, 4 switched on before you touch anything, 3 with a grade or billing basis to pick.

Australian guide rates factored across 10 regions, every one of them editable. Guidance, not gospel.
The takeoff engine
Say it like this. The engine reads the scope, works out the quantities, prices them off your card and tells you what it assumed. Deterministic arithmetic; no AI touches the numbers.
- “180 m2 colorbond reroof”
- “160 m2 tile roof restoration”
- “rebed 30m of ridge caps”
The safety pack
A SWMS drafted from the job you priced, with the roofing hazard set on top of the common site hazards.
- Roof access & work at heights
- Stripping the old roof
- New sheeting & guttering
Priced lines add their own: Waste disposal & tip runs.
Extra PPE: Harness + lanyard where edge protection isn’t practical; Soft-soled boots with grip for roof work; Sun protection (all-day UV exposure).
3 site questions to confirm before sign-off.
You review it against the site, edit it and sign. Sumitt prepares the paperwork; it does not assess your site or make your business compliant. Safety packs are part of Pro, and the free trial includes Pro.
Price books
Import your supplier’s or wholesaler’s price list and quote from real trade prices instead of a guide rate. Every line stays editable on the quote.
Books, exports and the rules
Paid invoices land in Xero as drafts, and quotes, invoices and payments export as CSV. Sumitt warns when a total crosses a Queensland, New South Wales or Victorian licence line, and never blocks.
The Trade Rate Index shows the benchmark cost of the jobs roofers quote most and the rates that leave a floor, healthy or premium margin, derived from the same rate cards. Not a survey, not advice.
Straight answers
Does it quote a re-roof and a repair off one card?
Yes. Roof work comes as a metal re-roof, a tile restoration or lay-only labour at their own rates per square metre, with blanket and battens alongside. Ridges, flashings, valleys, gutters, fascia, downpipes, gutter guard, whirlybirds, solar refits and leak callouts are separate lines.
Is edge protection priced in?
Edge protection and guardrail hire is on by default, because falls rules apply to roof work in every state and leaving it out is under-quoting, not sharpening the price. It stays editable if the job carries its own scaffold.
Does the SWMS cover height and asbestos?
The roofing hazard set covers roof access and work at heights, stripping the old roof, including the stop-and-test rule for old sheeting, and new sheeting and guttering. The high-risk questions ask about height, fragile roofing and asbestos. You confirm on site and sign; Sumitt prepares the paperwork.
Can I say the roof and get a draft?
Type or say the area and the roof type and the engine sets the quantities, estimates the flashing runs from the area and reminds you to measure them, and flags old sheeting where it applies. Gutter and ridge scopes price by the metre. The numbers come from your rate card, never from an AI.
