Calculation Pipeline Reference

Subtotal = Materials + Labor + Tearoff

TOTAL = Subtotal + Add to Price
Price/SQ = TOTAL ÷ Wall Squares

Add to Price is added after all markups and is not subject to any multipliers.

Waste Factors Hidden from Estimates

Waste factors are applied before pricing calculations but are not shown on estimates or PDFs.

FactorValueApplied To
Per-SQ Waste by Difficulty Harder walls generate more cutting waste. Each difficulty level gets its own multiplier.
Diff 1 — Easy (flat wall, no obstacles) × Siding panels, trim per-SQ
Diff 2 — Moderate (some windows/doors) × Siding panels, trim per-SQ
Diff 3 — Average (multiple windows, 2-story) × Siding panels, trim per-SQ
Diff 4 — Difficult (gables, dormers, cutouts) × Siding panels, trim per-SQ
Diff 5 — Very Difficult (complex angles, many penetrations) × Siding panels, trim per-SQ
Trim Waste × All trim types (J-Channel, Corners, Starter, Window/Door, Drip Cap)

Conditional Materials When Activated

These materials are only included when certain conditions are met in the estimate wizard.

MaterialCondition / TriggerEditable Value
Housewrap / WRB New construction or full tearoff. Roll-based: rolls = ceil(Wall SQ / SQ-per-roll). No waste factor.
Flashing Tape Always included for window/door count. Rolls = ceil(window+door count / 8). No waste factor.
Re-sheet Wall When wall sheathing needs to be replaced. Contractor enters sq ft in Step 5. Cost = (mat + labor) × wall SQ. No waste factor.

Labor Rates Siding-Specific

Base labor rate per wall SQ, with difficulty and distance multipliers.

ParameterDescriptionValue
Base Labor Rate Per wall SQ (100 sq ft) for Board & Batten $/SQ
Difficulty Step Added per SQ per difficulty level above 1 $/SQ
Height/Story Surcharge Extra per SQ for each story above 1 $/SQ per story
Small Job Threshold Wall SQ below this: +1 difficulty SQ → +1 difficulty
New Construction Discount % labor discount when "New Construction" is checked %

Distance Multipliers

Applied to total labor. Uses same tiers as roofing.

DistanceDrive TimeMultiplier
Tier 1 60-90 min ×
Tier 2 90-120 min ×
Tier 3 120-150 min ×
Tier 4 150-180 min ×

Tearoff & Equipment Editable

Tearoff labor and equipment costs for siding removal.

ItemFormulaValue
Tearoff Base Rate First layer: (Wall SQ × waste) × rate $/SQ
Tearoff Additional Layer Each additional layer adds this per SQ $/SQ
Dumpster Cost ceil((SQ × Layers) / SQ-per-dumpster) × cost $/each
SQ per Dumpster Combined SQ-layers per dumpster
Scaffolding / Lift Per day, if needed for 2+ story work $/day
