Software for Commercial & Industrial Roofing Contractors
One system for every job: estimating and bidding, gang scheduling and timesheets, material procurement, QA and warranty records, variations, applications for payment. You can see where every job stands, every day, from first bid to final account.
You win the job on price. Then you deliver it with gangs at height, a program the weather keeps rewriting and a substrate nobody has seen yet.
Plan gangs and access across all your live jobs instead of one whiteboard per site. When weather takes a roof out, you replan across sites in one place, and progress from the field lands daily so you always plan from where each job actually is.
Membranes, insulation and made-to-order profile sheets hit the budget as committed cost the moment the PO is raised. Deliveries sit on the areas they gate, so a slipping delivery shows up in the program before the old roof comes off.
When the deck under an overlay turns out rotten, the condition gets captured with photos, priced and approved as a variation before the work is done. It carries straight into your application, so unforeseen work stops being unpaid work.
Archdesk is built for commercial and industrial roofing contractors delivering flat roofing, metal profile roofing and cladding, and roof refurbishment, whether you work direct for clients or as a subcontractor to a main contractor. Estimators, project managers, site supervisors and the commercial team work from the same records, so the estimate you won with becomes the budget you track against, the hours your gangs book land on the job the same day, and the work you record on site becomes the application you get paid on.
Delivering other packages alongside roofing? Archdesk also serves:
The guarantee you hand over is only as good as the records behind it. Inspections and photo evidence are captured as each area completes, so the warranty pack builds as you install instead of being reconstructed afterwards.
The bid built from real cost data on jobs like this one, with the exclusions and assumptions on the record.
The estimate you won with becomes the budget you track against. Gangs, access and program planned across your live jobs.
Membranes, insulation and made-to-order sheets ordered as committed cost, deliveries tracked against the areas they gate.
Hours, laid areas and site records flow back from the field daily, and substrate surprises are priced as variations before the work is done.
Inspections and photo evidence captured as areas complete, building the warranty and handover pack as you go.
Applications built from substantiated records, retention tracked to release, and the margin already known.
What you priced is what you track. The winning estimate becomes the budget, actuals land against it line by line, and what jobs really cost feeds the next bid.
Explore Job Costing
The schedule connected to what it depends on: long-lead deliveries on the tasks they gate, crews planned across every live job, slippage shown with its cost.
Explore Scheduling
Buy-out without the gaps: RFQs from your BOQ lines, bids back comparable, exclusions visible before award. Then every PO and subcontract lands on the budget the moment it's raised.
Explore Procurement
Committed at the PO, earned as work is delivered, invoiced months later. See all three stages against every budget line, so variance is a decision you make, not a number you explain.
Explore Cost Controlling
Certify subcontractor valuations down, build client applications up, from the same records. Invoices, payment notices and retention on statutory time, with the audit trail attached.
Explore Financials
The schedule, the progress and the money in one system. When a task slips you see what it costs, and when scope changes you see what it does to the schedule. 'On track' means the Gantt chart and the bank account.
Explore Project Management
Nobody builds from a superseded drawing. Revision control, approvals and distribution with proof of who received what, when. The record that wins the dispute instead of losing it.
Explore Document Management
Every project's position, live, from the data that ran the work. Cost, schedule and cash agree with each other because they're the same records. There's nothing to assemble and nothing to reconcile.

Archdesk helps commercial and industrial roofing contractors manage estimating and bidding, gang scheduling and timesheets, material procurement, site and QA records, variations, payment applications, and job costing in one connected platform.
Yes. Archdesk is built for mid-size and large roofing contractors delivering flat roofing, metal profile roofing and cladding, and roof refurbishment, whether you work direct for clients or as a subcontractor to a main contractor.
All your live jobs sit in one schedule, so when a week of rain takes a roof out you replan gangs across sites in one place instead of ringing round. Progress from the field lands daily, so you always plan from where each job actually is.
Yes. Supervisors and installers record timesheets, complete site forms, log laid areas and capture inspection records with photos from their phones. What they record lands against the project in real time, so the office sees progress without chasing paperwork at the end of the week.
Purchase orders for membranes, insulation and made-to-order profile sheets hit the project budget as committed cost the moment they are raised, and deliveries are tracked against the areas they gate. Because every order sits against the budget line it was estimated on, you see the gap between the price you allowed and the price you paid as it opens, job by job.
Yes. When strip-up finds rotten deck or saturated insulation, the condition is captured with photo evidence, priced as a variation and pushed through approval before the work is done. Approved variations carry into your payment application, so unforeseen work stops being unpaid work.
Yes. Inspections, installation records and photo evidence are captured in the field as each area completes, and every record lives against the project. The documentation behind your guarantee builds as you install instead of being assembled in the final week.
Timesheets from site land against each project's budget lines daily, so you see labor burn against estimate for every live job, week by week, instead of finding out at the final account.
Yes. Applications for payment are built from the same records as your measured work and approved variations, and retention is tracked through to release. Everything you apply for is substantiated, which shortens the argument with the main contractor's QS.
Yes. Archdesk integrates with Xero (as a certified partner), Sage, QuickBooks and other accounting systems, so invoices, payments and costs flow between commercial and finance teams without re-keying.
