Smartroof vs Traditional Build

Comparison


Safety Comparison

The Safer option

Site safety must rank as the major priority for every builder.

Smartroof eliminates the significant danger caused by falling block gables.

It also cuts risks dramatically by reducing labour to a single gang of carpenters, spending only a few hours working at heights.

Traditional builds require employed and sub-contracted labour across a range of trades.

Cost Comparison

100% Guaranteed on-budget!

Smartroof is a highly cost effective solution with 100% budget certainty.

Our supply and install option guarantees a fixed price for the job. The alternative traditional build often has cost over-runs due to the use of multiple trades susceptible to delays caused by material supply or weather disruption.

In the traditional build method, material content of each roof may differ with uncontrollable factors such as wastage or theft.
