CONSTRUCTION ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction estimating unit cost for installation of 2x8 roof rafter framing in a porch roof.


UNIT SIZE

One square foot of porch roof framing area.


LABOR COSTS

We figure that a carpenter can install about 25 square feet of porch rafter framing per hour.


MATERIAL COSTS

The cost includes 0.9 lineal feet of 2x8 lumber per square foot of porch roof area. That covers 16" rafter spacing, with some extra for the ends.


HARD CONSTRUCTION COSTS, TYPICAL

$2.30 per square foot of porch roof area


SUGGESTED QUANTITY

Goldenseal suggests the porch area from the Exterior Dimensions screen. If you have a steep roof or large overhangs, you'll probably want to increase the area of porch roof framing.


SOURCE OF CONSTRUCTION PRICING

Based on crew timing and job cost data from several porches built by Turtle Creek Construction.


PLACES INCLUDED

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