ThatchCalc

Estimate thatching material quantities and labor for roof coverage

Construction Tech AIFree

ThatchCalc computes material quantities for water reed, long straw, and combed wheat reed thatching from roof geometry measurements. The tool estimates bundle counts per course accounting for pitch angle, eave overhang, ridge treatment, and valley detailing. Labor hour projections use productivity rates calibrated from UK thatching contractor data with adjustments for roof complexity, access scaffolding requirements, and weather-limited working days.
