πŸ’‘ Usage Notes

  • Curved metal pay schedules work similarly to standard Metal Pay Rates – Variable, but are tailored for curved or bullnose installations.

  • These schedules let you fine-tune labour rates for curved panels, hips, barges, and aprons β€” which often require additional handling and shaping.


βœ… Tip: Create separate pay schedules for different curved roofing types (e.g., bullnose verandahs, concave roofs, or custom radii) to ensure accurate and repeatable labour costing.
