This article explains how to update the waste factor percentage within a roofing proposal. Adjusting the waste factor helps ensure your material estimates reflect actual usage more accurately. Once changed, the system automatically recalculates the square footage for each facet, making it easier to manage costs and reduce material overruns.
Follow the steps below to update the waste factor for roofing proposals.
Step 1: Scroll down to the “Facets” section of the proposal.
Step 2: Open the “Waste Factor” percentage dropdown and select a new waste factor.
Step 3: The facet square information will update automatically.
Note: If your organization’s admin has configured a default waste factor percentage, it will automatically appear in proposals (for example, 3% as shown below).
