Frequently asked questions
Short, honest answers about TARC and the 5-minute roof quote workflow.
How does TARC estimate a roof?+
TARC combines Google satellite imagery with your own manual roof trace. You draw the roof faces once on an aerial photo, and the platform calculates true area, pitch-adjusted quantities, materials, labour and a fully-costed quote — typically in under 5 minutes.
What does "Trace Once, Use Everywhere" mean?+
Every roof trace you save becomes a reusable Roof Profile. That single profile instantly populates the Full Estimator and every specialty calculator — Roofing, Guttering, Flashing Designer, Battens & Insulation, Ventilation, Pitch, Weather Load, Panel Optimizer and Quick Estimator — so you never re-trace the same roof twice.
How long does a quote take in TARC?+
A typical quote goes from satellite photo to a professional, client-ready PDF in about 5 minutes. The traced geometry is accurate to the metre, and the AI suggests materials, waste allowances and crew-based labour costs automatically.
Is TARC made for Australian roofers?+
Yes. TARC is built in Australia for Australian roofers. Pricing is AUD, calculations follow AS 1562.1 and AS/NZS 3500.3 conventions, materials are mapped to common Australian suppliers, and every PDF includes Australian-standard inclusions, exclusions and GST handling.
What roof types does TARC support?+
TARC supports every common Australian residential and light-commercial roof type: Hip, Gable, Dutch Gable, Skillion, Mansard and complex multi-face roofs. Each face can have its own pitch, and materials include Colorbond Corrugated, Trimdek, Spandek, concrete tile, terracotta tile and metal standing seam.
Can I import my own suppliers and materials?+
Yes. TARC ships with a built-in Australian materials database, and you can add your own supplier prices and product SKUs. Your custom pricing carries through every calculator and every quote PDF automatically.
Does TARC generate a printable PDF quote?+
Every estimate produces a premium, client-ready PDF — proposal summary with a giant hero total, neon-blue traced roof diagram, blocking & flashing layouts, scope of works, next steps, terms and conditions, and a technical appendix with cutting list, nett quantities and true lengths.
How much does TARC cost?+
TARC has a free tier that includes the Full Estimator and core calculators. Paid plans add CRM, unlimited projects, live supplier pricing and advanced team features. See the Pricing page for current plans.
