Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Oct 11, 2012 7:45 am We had major damage to our property (90% off roof off) which has been covered by insurance and paid out to us. Our builder has now broken down the costs for us as we may get serveral contractors in. He has now quoted that to replace the roof (colorbond) facias, capping. battons etc. will be $52,000.00 + GST. This is for a 240m3 home. This seems excessive to me. Now worried we are going to be short on other trades. Any advise whether this amount seems fair & reasonable?

Is that intact or does that have to be replaced/repaired as well? Stewie Re: Storm Damage - Roofing 4Oct 11, 2012 12:15 pm That does seem a lot. I would have thought that $20,000 would have covered it. Can the builder work entirely off the roof or does he have to get scaffold in to do the fascia ? That may have a large impact on the price. Quote: This is for a 240m3 home. Is that the floor area of your house ( presuming it is a single storey dwelling ) or the roof area ? Stewie Re: Storm Damage - Roofing 6Oct 12, 2012 12:30 am I'm even more confused with your insurance deal than with the roof details. How much did they pay you to do all the fixes and how did they come up with the amount, do you have some sort of scope of work that shows what they based their payout on? Did you have the option to do it all via them, so you don't need to organise or cost and chase anything? My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ...
