🧩 Nett Rates
(Pulldown Menu Option)
The Nett Rates command opens the Roofing Reporting Rates for Nett-Only Roofing dialog box.
This tool allows you to set rates used by the Reporting > Nett-Only function.
🧾 Purpose
The Nett-Only Reporting method provides a quick and simple way to create a quote using a pricing-based approach rather than a detailed cost build-up process.
Instead of calculating all underlying material and labour costs individually, you can apply a set of direct rates to the nett quantities of a job.
💡 How It Works
The nett quantities come directly from the Tools > Tally Quantities command.
You can define material and labour rates for various parts of the job.
Each rate is multiplied by the corresponding nett quantity to generate an overall project quote.
Any rate left at 0 will be ignored in the calculation.
✅ This approach is ideal when you have a known “price per unit area” that you commonly use for quoting similar jobs.
It’s fast, flexible, and perfect for early-stage pricing.
⚙️ Set-Up Command Options

The rates are then applied automatically whenever you run Reporting > Nett-Only.
This ensures your quick-quote pricing is consistent and easily reusable across similar jobs.
💡 Tip: Keep separate Nett-Only rate sets for different roof system types (e.g., metal, tile, cladding) so you can load the correct rates instantly when preparing fast quotes.
