How should a self-employed Roofer in Spain calculate job prices?

A correct job price for a Roofer in Spain should include five components: labor time (including travel and setup), materials (with waste factor), overhead (vehicle, insurance, tools), admin time (quoting, invoicing, communication), and profit margin. Many Spanish Roofers only price labor and materials, which means overhead and admin eat into profit. The local term for a quote is 'techador' pricing — use structured line items rather than a single lump sum. Vasco lets Roofers keep their own price list and build quotes from line items, so the same components are priced the same way every time.

What are common pricing mistakes Roofers in Spain make?

The three most common pricing mistakes for Roofers in Spain are: (1) not including travel time and setup in the quote, (2) forgetting admin time — messages, planning, invoicing — which is real working time that belongs in the price, and (3) matching competitors on price without knowing their actual margins. A Roofer (techador) should compare quoted time against actual time on completed jobs to identify systematic underpricing.

How can Roofers in Spain check if they are underpricing?

Compare your last 10 completed jobs: expected hours vs actual hours, quoted materials vs actual materials, and net profit after all costs. If you consistently spend more time or materials than quoted, your pricing model has a structural gap. This is especially common for Roofers in Spain who quote from memory rather than structured templates.
