๐Ÿ“„ What report formats does Roof Wizard output?

Microsoft Word + Excel

Roof Wizard automatically generates reports in:

  • Microsoft Word (.docx)

  • Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)

These are formats your customers, suppliers, and installers already use.


๐Ÿงพ What reports can Roof Wizard produce?

Common report types

Roof Wizard can generate reports such as:

  • Client quotes / estimates / proposals

  • Material order forms for suppliers

  • Installation diagrams for installers

  • Complete material lists (including fasteners and accessories)

  • Labour summaries

  • Cutting lists (where applicable)


๐Ÿงฉ Are the reports customisable?

Yes - fully editable templates

Standard report templates are included, so you can start producing reports immediately. You can then customise templates at any time to match your business, including:

  • Branding (logo, colours, headers/footers)

  • Layout and formatting

  • Wording and sections

  • What data appears (materials, labour, accessories, totals, etc.)


๐Ÿง  Advanced customisation

Smart fields (Key Text Strings)

For deeper control, templates can use Key Text Strings (smart placeholders) that automatically pull job details, quantities, totals, and other job data into your Word/Excel reports.

Youโ€™ll find step-by-step guidance in this help centre for working with:

  • Report templates

  • Key Text Strings

  • Template locations and best practice


๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธ File formats (backwards compatibility)

To maximise compatibility across different computers and office software versions, Roof Wizard reports must be saved as:

  • Word (.doc)

  • Excel (.xls)

Report templates saved as the newer .docx and .xlsx file formats will not print and can cause crashing.
