OSB Roof Sheathing Costs

Construction Item Description

Construction unit cost for installation of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) roof sheathing.

NOTE-- This unit cost handles any thickness of roof sheathing. It gets the thickness from the Structural Dimensions screen.

Unit Size

One square foot of roof sheathing area.

Labor Costs

We figure that a carpenter can install about 80 square feet of sheathing per hour, with a little help from an unskilled worker.

Material Costs

One sheet covers 32 square feet, with 10% waste factor.

NOTE-- This waste factor is reasonable for remodeling and smaller projects. You may want to reduce it to 5% for new construction, where there is less cutting loss.

Suggested Quantity

Goldenseal uses the calculated roof framing that it gets from the Roof Dimensions screen.

Source of Construction Pricing

Based on crew timing and job costing data from Turtle Creek Construction.

Places Included
