CONSTRUCTION ITEM DESCRIPTION

Garage construction estimating cost for 2x6 roof rafter framing.

NOTE-- This cost does not include roof sheathing for the garage.


UNIT SIZE

One square foot of roof area


LABOR COSTS

We figure that a carpenter can frame rafters on about 25 square feet of garage area per hour. This assumes a simple gable or shed roof with a fairly low pitch.


MATERIAL COSTS

The cost includes .85 lineal feet of 2x6 lumber per square foot of roof area. The lumber quantity is multiplied by the roof spacing from the Structural Dimensions screen. It is based on 24" rafter spacing, and includes a factor for the extra length required for a sloped roof of approximately 4" rise per 12" run.


HARD CONSTRUCTION COSTS, TYPICAL

$1.88 per square foot of garage roof framing area


SUGGESTED QUANTITY

Garage area from the Exterior Dimensions screen.


SOURCE OF CONSTRUCTION PRICING

Based on job costing data from a couple of garages built by Turtle Creek Construction.


PLACES INCLUDED

Architect Starter File, Construction Starter File, Developer Starter File, Framing Starter File
