Precise Quantification for Thermal & Moisture Protection Materials

Our team at Tyler Estimating focuses on accurate quantification of all thermal and moisture protection materials required for your roofing and exterior envelope systems. With over 15 years of experience, we make sure every single element is measured precisely according to plans to ensure your project stays within budget.

TPO Roofing

We start by marking the roof plan area where TPO is specified. Multiply the roof length by width to get total square footage. Add 5-10% for waste around penetrations. Divide the total square footage by the roll size (usually 10’×100’ = 1000 SF per roll) to determine the number of rolls needed.

Standing Seam Metal Roofing

Mark the roof slope lengths and calculate total roof area. Multiply by slope factor (based on roof pitch) to get surface area. Divide by panel coverage (18” wide per panel or 1.5 FT). Add 10% for waste and trimming. Fasteners and clips are 1 clip every 12” O.C. along panel length.

Bituminous Roof

Mark the area on the plan where bituminous is used. Multiply length by width to get total area. Divide by roll coverage (3’×66’ = 198 SF per roll). Add 5-7% for laps and edges. For multi-ply systems multiply the area by the number of plies.

Roofing Membrane

Identify roof areas with membrane. Multiply plan area by roof slope factor to get true surface area. Divide by standard membrane roll size (usually 200 SF per roll). Add 10% for terminations, corners and penetrations.

Bonding Adhesive

Calculate adhesive quantity based on membrane area. Manufacturers usually specify coverage rate (e.g. 60-80 SF per gallon). Divide total membrane area by coverage rate to determine gallons needed. Add 10% for waste and double coating on edges.

Flashing

Measure linear footage of all flashing locations along roof edges, parapets, walls and curbs. Add 10% for overlaps and returns. Flashing sheets (10’ long) are divided into total linear footage to determine sheet count.

Metal Gutter

Mark all roof edges that need gutters. Add up total linear footage. Divide by 10’ gutter lengths to get total pieces. Add 5% for joints, corners and end caps. Downspouts are calculated separately by counting each run and multiplying by height.

Drip Edge Flashing

Measure total perimeter of roof edges. Divide by 10’ drip edge to get total count. Add 5% for joints and waste.

Fascia

Measure all linear edges where fascia is required. Multiply by fascia height to get surface area if finishing or painting is included. Divide total LF by 10’ for metal fascia pieces.

Roof Hatches, Curbs, and Vents

Count each hatch, curb and vent as individual units from roof plan. Include size details to determine framing and curb quantities. Flashing for these penetrations is measured separately around perimeters.

Roof Scupper & Drains

Count each drain or scupper shown on roof plan. Include connecting pipe lengths as needed. For scuppers, measure width × height × quantity for material area. Drains typically include 10 LF of connected piping per drain.

Shingles

Multiply roof plan area by slope factor to get total shingle surface area. Divide by shingle bundle coverage (usually 33.3 SF per bundle) to get total bundles. Add 10-15% for starter strips, hip and ridge shingles.

Soffit Panel

Measure soffit length and depth to calculate surface area. Divide by panel size (e.g., 2’×12’). Add 5–10% for waste and cuts. Include vented soffits where required by plan.

Spray-Applied Fireproofing

Measure all structural steel surface areas from plan and elevations. Multiply perimeter of members by their lengths. Apply coverage rates (e.g., 15–20 SF per bag at 1/2” thickness). Adjust for required fire rating thickness.

Awning

Count each awning from elevation drawings. Measure projection × width for SF. Add 10% waste. Structural frames, fabric, and brackets are calculated separately.

Window Sill

Count each sill and measure length. Multiply by width and depth to get volume for cast sills or SF for metal/stone sills. Add 5% waste.

Felt Paper

Measure roof deck area. Divide by roll coverage (4’×144’ = 432 SF per roll). Add 10% waste for laps and ridges.

Building Wrap

Measure wall sheathing area and divide by roll coverage (9’×150’ = 1350 SF). Add 5–10% waste for overlaps and openings.

Fire Caulking

Count all penetrations through fire-rated assemblies (walls, floors, etc.). Apply standard rate of 0.25 cartridges per 10 LF of joint or around each penetration. Add 10% for waste and touchups.

Batt Insulation

Measure roof or wall cavity areas. Subtract openings. Divide total SF by batt size (e.g., 16”×48” = 5.33 SF per batt) to find number of pieces required.

Air, Vapor & Board Insulation

Mark areas of roof or wall where these go. Multiply by plan area, adjust for slope if roof. Divide by board size (4’×8’ = 32 SF). Add 5-10% for cutting losses.

Vapor Barrier

Same as membrane total covered area and divide by roll size (e.g., 10’×100’ = 1000 SF). Add 5% waste for overlaps and detailing.

Joint Sealants

Measure linear footage of joints, control joints, and perimeter joints in exterior envelope. Add 10% waste. Divide total LF by coverage rate (20 LF per cartridge for 1/4”×1/4” joint) to determine number of cartridges.

Expansion Joints

Mark total linear footage of expansion joints on plans. Include width and depth to size preformed joint material. Add 10% waste. Divide total LF by joint stick length (usually 10’) to find count.

Ridge Board Insulation

Measure ridge length on roof plan. Multiply by insulation width to compute total SF. Divide by insulation roll coverage to find number of rolls.

Caulking

Measure all perimeters of openings (windows, doors, panels). Multiply perimeter by number of openings. Divide by standard tube yield (approx. 25 LF per tube).

Waterproofing

Measure all foundation walls, podium decks, or roof areas that need waterproofing. Multiply length by height/width to compute SF. Divide by product coverage rate (60-100 SF per gallon or per roll).

Thermal Insulation

Multiply roof or wall area by insulation thickness and divide by board coverage (32 SF per board). Deduct openings and add 5% waste.

Damp Proofing

Measure total exterior foundation wall area below grade. Multiply length × height. Divide by product coverage (60–80 SF per gallon) to find total gallons needed.

Metal Copings and Caps

Measure linear footage along parapet walls. Divide by standard coping length (10’) to determine pieces. Add 5% waste for corners and miters.

Exterior Finishes

Mark total façade areas per finish type. Subtract openings. Multiply by coverage rate of material (e.g., SF per panel or gallon of finish). Add 5–10% waste depending on texture.

Wood Siding / Metal Siding / Vinyl Siding

Calculate total wall area for each siding type. Divide by panel or board coverage (SF per piece). Add 10% waste for joints and cuts. Include corner trims, starter strips, and J-channels separately by measuring linear footage.

Stucco

Measure wall areas excluding openings. Multiply SF by the number of coats (base, brown, finish). Add 10% waste. Material takeoff includes sand, cement, and mesh quantities as per standard mix coverage.

Brick Veneer / Stone Veneer

Measure wall surface area from plan. Subtract openings. Divide total SF by brick or stone coverage (typically 6.75 bricks per SF or 7–8 SF per SF of stone). Add 5% waste and include mortar quantities based on 0.025 cubic feet per brick.

Soldier Course

Count total linear feet of soldier courses along lintels, sills, or parapets. Divide by brick length (8”) to determine number of bricks. Add 5% for waste.

Column Wrap

Measure height and perimeter of each column. Multiply to get SF per wrap. Divide by panel coverage (4’×8’) to find total number of panels. Include 5% waste.

Corner Trims

Count total vertical external corners on elevations. Multiply by wall height to get total LF. Divide by trim length (10’ per piece) to get number of trims.
