Waste-Buster No. 5:
No. 5. Provide Accurate Takeoffs for Roofing Material
It’s amazing how common it is to find two or three squares (six or nine bundles) of shingles left over on job sites, yet everyone always seems surprised. At around $100/square, you are lucky if the restocking charge only costs you $50, but more often than not, the material just disappears. Whether it walks off the job, ends up in the dumpster, or is just not being credited back by the supplier, there is no excuse for having more than a bundle or two of shingles left over, and those should be left with the homeowner for potential future repairs. This requires detailed, accurate takeoffs that are thoroughly reviewed and adjusted after the first model is built.
