What it does
This feature allows you to set up labour pay rates specifically for curved metal roofing installations. Curved metal roofing refers to metal sheeting installed on curved or barrel-shaped roof sections, which typically requires different installation techniques and labour rates compared to standard flat metal roofing.
You select a pay schedule for a job on the Cover > Select Metal dialog box when setting up your project materials.
