Take-offs & estimating
Cladding take-offs
We measure the cladding on every elevation, net of openings, and list the boards, panels, battens, flashings and trims you need to price and order. Installers and suppliers get the numbers without losing an evening to the plans.
- Price
- From NZ$250 per project, excl. GST
- Turnaround
- 2 to 3 working days for most homes
Systems we measure
- Fibre-cement and timber weatherboards
- Panel systems and vertical shiplap
- Brick veneer
- Plaster and render systems
- Metal and composite cladding
Measured to the supplier's rules
Coverage depends on board width, lap and fixing centres, so we measure to the profile you name and show the waste allowance separately. Battens, cavity closers and flashings are counted from the elevations, so the order is complete the first time.
Questions we are asked
Can you split quantities by colour or system?
Yes. Mixed-cladding homes are common, so we list each system and colour separately.
