CONSTRUCTION ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction estimating unit cost for framing of 2x8 roof rafters in a detached garage.

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


UNIT SIZE

One square foot of garage 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 (4/12 or less).


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.

NOTE-- This unit cost is based on 24" rafter spacing, and includes a factor for the extra length required for a sloped roof of up to 4" rise per 12" run.


HARD CONSTRUCTION COSTS, TYPICAL

$2.26 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 garage projects built by Turtle Creek Construction.
