Exposure to severe North Sea gusts makes wind-bracing SFS/steel connections and heavy-duty slate sarking non-negotiable.
Measurement & Deliverable Parameters
How are Aberdeenshire roofing packages measured and delivered?
| Estimating Parameter | Technical Specification | Standard / Audit Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement Section & Units | NRM2 Sections 17–18 (Sheet & Tile/Slate Roofing) measured in m2, m, nr | Scaled GA plans at 1:50 / 1:100 or structural details in mm |
| Local Statutory Framework | Building (Scotland) Regulations Technical Handbooks (Building Warrants) | Scotland statutory & local tender compliance notes |
| Wastage & Prelim Separation | Net quantities isolated with 5%–10% typical trade waste allowances | Aberdeenshire County logistics and phased delivery allowances |
| Deliverables & Drawing Uploads | 100% open-formula Excel BoQ + colour-coded PDF overlays (up to 25 MB upload) | 24–48 hrs turnaround target for focused single-trade packages |
Calibration note: 1:50 and 1:100 architectural and structural drawings are scaled to 25 mm masonry tolerances and 100 mm thermal zones, isolating 5 percent to 10 percent wastage from net quantities.
What is measured in every Aberdeenshire pack?
UK weather leaves zero margin for missed flashings or under-counted valleys. Measuring pitched surfaces from roof plans and elevations, we account for eaves Overlaps, dry-fix ridges/hips, Lead/GRP valley troughs, parapet cappings, tapered PIR schemes, and rainwater goods.
- Converts flat CAD plan footprints accurately using the true roof pitch angle before deducting lanterns or chimneys.
- Code 4/5/6/7 lead aprons, step-and-cover flashings, back gutters, and lead-welted sumps separated by weight and girth.
Which drawings and UK project types are supported?
- Roof plan & architectural elevations
- Eaves, ridge, abutment & parapet details
- Roof window / rooflight & solar PV layouts
