Can I define my own custom materials, accessories, and pricing?

Yes. Roof Wizard is fully configurable—define your own roof/wall materials, flashings/trims, accessories (with rules), pricing, labour rates, and allowances. Once set up, it applies automatically on every job for faster, consistent estimating.

✅ Yes — Roof Wizard is designed to match your catalogue

Configure it once, use it every day

Roof Wizard comes with starter/generic items, but it’s built so you can fully tailor the library to your products, pricing, and quoting method.


🏠 Custom materials (roof + walls)

Any covering material you use

You can define:

  • Any roof covering or wall cladding/siding material

  • Custom profiles, specifications, finishes, and naming that matches what you actually supply/install


🧩 Flashings, gutters, and trims

Every roof location

You can define the items you use for:

  • Flashings / trims (ridge, hip, valley, apron, corners, edges, etc.)

  • Gutters and downpipes (AU) / downspouts (US)

  • Other trim details that vary by system and region


🔩 Accessories (with rules)

Clips, screws, rivets, brackets — all automated

You can define accessories and the rules for when/how they’re applied, for example:

  • Per metre/foot

  • Per panel

  • Per end

  • Per piece/item

  • Per fixture (if required)

So once the rules are set, the “small stuff” gets calculated consistently.


💲 Pricing and labour

Costs per item or task

You can set:

  • Material pricing

  • Labour rates / install costs per material or task
    So your reports can reflect supply-only or supply+install style estimating.


📏 Allowances and wastage

Match your installation standards

You can configure things like:

  • Wastage allowances per material type

  • Cut/trim allowances (and other job allowances)
    So quantities align with how you actually order and install.


🦺 Extras like fall protection and insulation

Include the full job scope

If you want these included in your outputs, you can add them as defined items/rules (e.g., fall protection, underlay, insulation, and other job-specific components).


🚀 Why this matters

Your setup pays dividends

Once your materials, pricing, and rules are defined, Roof Wizard applies them automatically every time you use them—so:

  • Estimates get faster

  • Results become more consistent

  • Your library improves over time as you refine it
