Hover's Material List creates a material takeoff using your blueprint or photo capture measurements to calculate material quantities for roofing and siding projects. To learn more, visit hover.to/material-list

Not at this time. Instead, our standard set of templates use the measurement data to provide the required quantities of materials for your project scope.

Yes. Not only can you create, view and edit the scope of the material list on the mobile app, but you can also perform inline editing and share a material list from the mobile app as well.

Yes, simply navigate to the project page > “materials” tab, where all previously generated Material Lists will be available.

Yes, it does! First, use our Material List offering as is, editing product names as you see fit and saving that work as a template to be used on all jobs. Then you can:
​
​Option one:

Set up an Integration with Zapier which allows you to get Material List information into a workflow/software with minimal lift. This is a self-service option and the information on how to set it up can be found here.
​
​Option Two:

You can get an in-house (or consultant) developer to integrate Material List by leveraging our Open APIs. This is a more sophisticated setup and will require building an Integration that does not exist today. The steps on how to do so can be found here.
​
​Option Three:

Export the Material List as a CSV and import it to your software of choice.
​
Additionally, activate Supplier Digital ordering so you can send your orders to your local ABC, Beacon, and SRS branches directly.

The Material List feature can be limited to specific users. Make this request by contacting [email protected]

Yes. Along with exporting as a PDF, you can also export a material list as a CSV file.

No, but we offer an estimation product that provides "good", "better", and "best" estimates, as well as proposals for homeowners. Learn more.

Yes, you can apply multiple materials for both trades in the same material list.

Yes, by creating multiple material lists.

You can proceed to create a new material list from the project page > “materials” tab > “+ Material List” OR use "Edit Scope" within an existing Material List to generate a completely new material list.

Yes, use the template or item level checkboxes to select which material line items to include for each PDF and proceed to download.

We auto apply flat roof material (SBS) with our shingle templates for any low-sloped roofs.

You can adjust the automatic application for low-sloped roofs by going to "Edit Scope” and updating your install preferences on the roofing service page.

From the 'area selection' screen, you can choose which material type should be applied to specific roof facets. If you want to use the same material type, but assign specific variations:

You have the option to select multiple fascia and soffit options, but our system currently calculates for the entire structure/property. However, you can manually set partials through the "Edit scope" feature.

We recommend reprocessing the job before calculating the materials for siding and siding trim. This is necessary because the material list uses siding measurements for these calculations. By reprocessing the job with siding instead of the original materials (e.g. stucco or brick), we can get the accurate line segments and measurements.
​
To change materials from brick, stone, or stucco to siding, follow these steps:

When two different types or styles of siding intersect, the Material List calculates corner posts for each material type, leading to an increased number of posts. This can be adjusted manually within the Material List.

Currently, the Material List does not automatically transfer 3D design changes. It uses siding facades directly from the project’s original measurements.
​
To add different material styles to the gables, you can:

The material list includes siding and trim that have openings less than 33 square feet. If you’d like to create a material list without these openings and/or trim, you can select the option to exclude openings or siding trim area by navigating to the siding section in manage workflows > calculation preferences (here).

The material list does not provide material quantities based on panel length, similar to a cut list. Instead, it calculates board and batten panels by using the total square footage of the wall facade(s) and the brand-specific or generic board and batten panel coverage.

When selecting to apply board and batten as accent siding, such as on the gables, it's advisable to consider applying additional waste.

From the 'area selection' screen, you can choose which material type should be applied to specific siding facets. If you want to use the same material type, but assign specific color/styles:

We recommend reprocessing the job before calculating the materials for siding and siding trim. This is necessary because the material list uses siding measurements for these calculations. By reprocessing the job with siding instead of the original materials (e.g. stucco or brick), we can get the accurate line segments and measurements.

To change materials from brick, stone, or stucco to siding, follow these steps:

When two different types or styles of siding intersect, the Material List calculates corner posts for each material type, leading to an increased number of posts. This can be adjusted manually within the Material List.

You have the option to select multiple, but our system currently calculates for the entire structure/property. However, you can manually set partials through the "Edit Scope" feature.

To apply different trim sizes to different parts of a property, navigate to "edit scope" and select specific trim sizes for each siding trim component (e.g. inside corners, level frieze trim, openings, etc.). The options available may vary depending on the trim template you select.

Our material list templates currently include roofing and siding trades, along with limited manufacturer templates. For any new Material List templates or trades, please fill out our feedback form.

Creating a material list for a job allows you to access all of our pre-set template options. Your organization will be notified as new trades and templates become available.

The Material List feature allows you to add customized templates by selecting the “Save as template” option.

You can click the calculator icon on the material list line item to view details of how it was calculated and make necessary edits, as illustrated in this article.

To address unique projects needs and local codes, a workflow questionnaire is available to you via the "Edit scope" button, as illustrated in this article.

To make specific waste factor modifications at the line item level, review the details by clicking the calculator icon. You can adjust the waste factor directly in that pop-up screen, or:

Use the "Save as Template" option for future use modifications, as illustrated in this article.

Discrepancies may occur due to the auto application of low-slope roof materials for roof slopes 3/12 and below. Users have the option to configure the application of low-slope materials by accessing the “Edit Scope” feature.

If you completed the Supplier Direct Ordering form and connected your HOVER account to a supplier (ABC Supply, Beacon, or SRS), you can search for items using a supplier item number when customizing your material list.

After enabling direct ordering and connecting to the supplier’s integration, you can send or order materials directly through partners such as ABC Supply, Beacon, or SRS.

Complete this form to enable direct ordering. Once approved and activated, you can search for and select your supplier's branch products for each item in the template and place orders with the "Order materials" button.

It’s your organization’s responsibility to add and manage material unit costs. If you want to save the unit costs of your line items for future projects, you can use the "Save as template" option.

The material list reflects the unit costs set by your organization and is not linked to your supplier's pricing.

Clicking the "Order materials" button will redirect to the "Order Details" page where you will see the connected supplier's real-time pricing for each available and mapped item you want to order. (ABC Supply, Beacon, or SRS).
