Why roofing contractors use BuildWorkPro
Plan tear-off, dry-in, and install as phases
Break each roof into phases with tasks and dependencies, then run the job from a Gantt chart. When rain pushes tear-off back two days, drag the task and everything downstream moves with it. See project management.
Bid by the square, with waste in the numbers
Estimate tear-off, decking repair, underlayment, flashing, and finish roofing as line items with material and labor costs — squares plus your waste factor, priced from your own product catalog. TPO, EPDM, shingle, or metal. See bidding & estimating.
Put rain delays on the record
When weather shuts the roof down, write a dated site log, tag it Delay, and attach photos of the deck. Months later, when the GC asks why the schedule slipped — or floats a backcharge — you have it in writing.
Bill big roofs by area or phase
Build a schedule of values by roof section — tear-off, dry-in, flashing, finish — and submit AIA-style pay applications for the percent complete each period, with retainage tracked on every line.
Price storm and extra work as change orders
Rotten decking under tear-off, hail damage, added scope — write it up as a change order with priced line items and back it with site log photos. Once approved, it rolls into the contract sum so your next pay app bills against the right number.
Crews see their jobs, not your numbers
The restricted field-crew role lets foremen file site logs and log hours against projects and tasks — without seeing bids, margins, or billing. Hours land in time tracking with a review status, ready to check before payroll.
Everything you need at one flat price
$79/month for unlimited users and projects. No per-user fees.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best software for roofing contractors?
For commercial and new-construction roofing subs — and reroof contractors working for GCs and building owners — BuildWorkPro covers the full job: line-item bids, AIA-style pay applications, change orders, and dated site logs at $79/month flat. It is not an insurance-restoration or door-to-door sales tool; if your business runs on canvassing and claims, a restoration CRM is a better fit. BuildWorkPro is built for contract work that gets bid, scheduled, and progress-billed.
How do I document rain delays and protect against backcharges?
Write a site log the day it happens: tag the entry Delay, note who was on site and what work stopped, and attach photos of the deck and staged materials. Every log is dated, so when a GC questions the schedule — or floats a backcharge — months later, you have a contemporaneous record instead of memory. Foremen can file logs from the field using the restricted field-crew role.
Can I price tear-off and disposal into the bid?
Yes. Tear-off goes in as its own line item with labor and material cost items, and job-wide costs like dumpsters, disposal fees, and permits go in as bid-level project costs that BuildWorkPro spreads across your line items' sell prices. Nothing rides for free, and the GC sees a clean PDF proposal instead of your cost breakdown.
How does progress billing work on big roofs?
You build a schedule of values broken out by roof area or phase — tear-off, dry-in, flashing, finish — then submit a pay application each period billing the percent complete on every line. Retainage is calculated automatically, and each pay app moves through approval statuses so you always know what has been submitted, approved, and paid.
