Roof Insulation Takeoffs for Commercial Roofing Bids

Insulation scope can quietly change a roofing bid. MC2Estimating helps quantify insulation and roof assembly conditions from the plans/specs so contractors can review board counts, layers, cover board, tapered notes, and assumptions.

FAQ

Do you provide roof insulation takeoffs only?

Yes. Smaller insulation-only takeoffs can be quoted separately after reviewing the plans and deadline.

Can you identify tapered insulation?

We can review drawings/specs and note tapered insulation requirements or questions, but final design responsibility remains with the contractor/design team.

What should I send?

Send roof plans, details, specs, addenda, alternates, and any GC notes or bid forms.
