The cost of a soft roof per square meter of turnkey works
Roofing - one of the most technically complex and costly a financially structural units of the house. Naturally, developers are beginning to wonder what the cost of roofing is still at the design and cost estimate stage. The soft tile roofing is characterized by a fairly affordable price, however, the cost of the construction of the roof includes the payment of the installation done by professional craftsmen, and additional fittings, which sometimes cost more than roofing. In this article, we will tell you how much one square turnkey tile costs, and on what the cost of laying it depends.
What does the price depend on?
Soft roofing is an economical waterproofing coating based on fiberglass impregnated with modified bitumen, which is characterized by a long service life, excellent moisture-proof qualities and simple installation. The cost of roofing of soft tiles consists of the cost of acquiring materials and the remuneration of professional roofers. The final amount, which will cost one square meter of the roof, depends on the following factors:
- The complexity of the design.
- Type of roofing material.
- Types of insulation.
- Type of roof.
- Time of year and weather conditions.
- From the design of the truss frame.


Consider that it is more profitable to order turnkey roofs from professional roofers, then the cost of laying tile is calculated per square meter. In addition, the quality of the installation is easier to control if one team works from the beginning to the end.
What is the price?
Skilled craftsmen, if you need to roughly calculate the cost of a soft roof on a turnkey basis, use a simple rule: usually the price of the roofing installation is 50-60% of the cost of its purchase. Typically, professional craftsmen have a quote for a square meter of roofing, and also indicates what is included in that price, but materials usually have to be paid separately. Pricing for the installation of soft tiles varies depending on the region, however, for rough calculations, you can use the following guidelines:
- Laying shingles on average costs 300 rubles per square meter, if the roof structure is of increased complexity, a multiplying factor is applied to calculate the cost, which is 1.3-1.5.
- The cost of assembling a solid crate for laying a bituminous piece roof is 100 rubles per square meter.
- Installation of waterproofing and vapor barrier material costs 50 rubles per 1 m2.
- Experienced craftsmen charge 150 rubles per m2 for the installation of thermal insulation.
- Installing a gutter costs 200 rubles, and the drain pipes 150 rubles per meter.
Important! When ordering a "turnkey" soft roof, the prices for the execution of works are slightly reduced, usually installing shingles without taking into account the cost of materials costs 1500 rubles per m2, taking into account the cost of materials - 3200 rubles per m2.


How can I save?
Many developers, knowing how much it costs to install bituminous piece materials, are interested in the question of how to reduce costs without losing quality as a coating. Professional craftsmen argue that it is better to purchase cheaper roofing material than to save by reducing the professional qualities of the performers of roofing work on a turnkey basis. To reduce costs when installing a soft roof in the following ways:
- Perform installation by yourself. Modern shingles are fixed on the surface of the slope with the help of an adhesive layer, protected by a film, and roofing nails with a wide hat. In difference from the built-up materials, its laying is carried out in the cold way.
- Move the installation of the roof for the winter period. In winter, when the construction season ends, and there are not so many orders for roofers, you can get a significant discount on the turnkey construction of the roof.
- Reduce the complexity of the design. Installing a ventilation system and skylights significantly increase the cost of work, so in the face of budget deficit, it is better to abandon these elements in favor of simpler solutions.
Note! It is mandatory to enter into an agreement with a construction organization for the provision of services for the construction of the roof, and also require the provision of a guarantee.
