Flexible production settings
Configure allowances, maximum lengths, splits and material settings for your workflow.
Estimating and material orders
From measured takeoff to supplier-ready material documents
Measured components become production pieces under your own allowances, maximum lengths and splitting rules, then organised quantities and professional supplier documents.
Beyond measuring
Measurements are the halfway point, not the finish
A PDF measuring tool hands you lengths and areas. The real work is what comes after—turning those numbers into sheets, flashings and quantities you can actually put in front of a supplier.
RoofDatum carries the takeoff through. Measured components become production pieces under your own allowances, maximum lengths and splitting rules, laid out for review before anything is ordered or cut.
- Roof sheets, gutter, fascia, ridge, hip, valley, barge, apron and capping
- Pitch applied to roof areas, so quantities follow the slope and not the flat plan
- Your own allowances, maximum lengths and splitting rules applied to each piece
- Sheet order, battens, insulation and fixings quantified alongside the pieces
- Reviewed pieces carried into material quantities and supplier documents
Production pieces and quantities should be independently reviewed before quoting, ordering, fabrication or construction.
Production settings
Your rules, applied to every piece
Production pieces, not just lengths
Measurements become sheets, flashings and production pieces you review before ordering, fabrication or cutting.
Supplier-ready documents
Turn your reviewed takeoff into organised quantities and professional supplier documents.
One workspace
Without rebuilding the job in another system
Measured components—roof sheets, gutter, fascia, ridge, hip, valley, barge, apron and capping—are carried through into production pieces using your own allowances, maximum lengths and splitting rules.
Those pieces are laid out for review, and the reviewed takeoff becomes material quantities and supplier documents without rebuilding the job in another system.
RoofDatum brings metal-roofing takeoffs and estimating into one clear, modern workspace. Measure from plans, build accurate material quantities and adjust product settings without fighting complicated software.
The measuring that feeds all of this starts with the plan set—see taking off from PDF plans, or the wider metal-roofing scope. Tile projects have their own Production and Material Order calculations; see roof tile projects. Common questions are answered on the support page.

Professional-use reminder
RoofDatum is a user-operated takeoff and estimating aid. Results depend on the accuracy of the plan, reference dimensions, geometry, pitch, product settings and information entered by the user. Measurements and quantities should be independently reviewed before quoting, ordering, fabrication or construction.
RoofDatum does not guarantee accuracy, does not verify plans, does not perform engineering, and does not check code compliance.
