Florida estimating: product approvals and assembly scope

A roof-area total alone hides whether the specified package has one membrane or two and whether attachment accessories are included.

Remote estimating service · Reviewed 2026-10-05

ILLUSTRATIVE APPLICATION BASED ON PUBLIC REQUIREMENTS

This conditional illustration uses public documents. It is not a ConstructQuant client, completed project or account of local project experience. No project quantities or prices are assumed.

Check the matching approval revision and use limits

Only if the responsible designer selects this evaluated non-HVHZ system and confirms the matching approval revision, substrate, roof covering and project acceptance. No product endorsement, blanket Florida/HVHZ applicability, universal lap factor, uplift design selection or assertion that a historic revision is current approval.

Separate the base sheet, cap sheet and attachment

For a detail specifying the two-ply arrangement, keep separate base and cap material rows. Price selected attachment and lap coverage from the issued detail, not one generic underlayment area. If roof schedule and approval revision differ, retain the discrepancy and obtain clarification before pricing a substitution.

Resolve schedule-to-assembly differences before substitution

A roof-area total alone hides whether the specified package has one membrane or two and whether attachment accessories are included. Approval revision, non-HVHZ limits and a documented layered assembly make this more useful than a generic roofing material list.

Trace the document into the estimate

Official basis
Florida Building Commission product-approval portal: Sharkskin Underlayments non-HVHZ evaluation report. FL40958 R1 evaluation report 9058 dated December 28, 2023; illustrative dated document, not a current project approval recommendation. Report pp. 4-5 Table 4; pp. 11-12 limitations; R0 portal record is not used as an R1 authorization
Project documents
Roof schedule, selected approval revision, underlayment specification and issued installation/roof assembly detail.
Documented condition
The report describes a two-ply adhered tile-roof arrangement with mechanically attached Sharkskin Ultra base and self-adhered Ultra SA cap; steel-deck arrangements identify screws and stress plates.
Affected scope
Distinct base/cap membranes and the selected attachment package; roof covering/support design remains separate.
Possible estimate items
Base-sheet membrane SF; cap-sheet membrane SF; selected fasteners/caps or screws/plates; lap-adjusted procurement coverage from issued layout.

Source references and limits

No product endorsement, blanket Florida/HVHZ applicability, universal lap factor, uplift design selection or assertion that a historic revision is current approval.

This proposed estimating resource does not determine engineering/design, permit approval, insurance eligibility, environmental design, legal applicability or code-compliance certification. Refer project applicability and design decisions to the responsible designer, authority or operator. This is a resource boundary, not a separately confirmed exhaustive company service exclusion.

Remote services and agreed deliverables

ConstructQuant provides quantity takeoff, material takeoff, cost/priced estimates and bid estimating remotely for projects across the United States. Remote coverage does not imply physical offices, local teams or local project history. The agreed project scope determines the services and outputs included.

Excel, PDF and quantity worksheets are supported deliverables. Marked drawings, material lists, scope notes and other outputs are project-dependent. Only deliverables included in the project’s agreed scope are promised.

Workflow: Plans/specs → Scope review → Quantity/material takeoff → Pricing/cost estimate where requested → QA/review → Final deliverables

Send the issued plans/specifications and the estimate purpose for scope review. Identify the requested trades, document revisions and any unresolved details before agreeing the output package.
