Hip Roof Intersection

Hip Roof Intersection — Illustrative diagram

Hip Roof Intersection is a building-planning choice included in the Price Your Build estimator. It can affect roof framing complexity, flashings, gutters and construction time.

What this option means

Increases framing consumption for intersecting hips and valleys.

Why it affects the estimate

The estimator uses this selection to apply an appropriate allowance. Actual requirements depend on the final design, site conditions, supplier selection and contractor scope.

Before proceeding

  • Confirm the roof plan, drainage falls, valley details and structural layout before finalising the choice.
  • Compare the final specification and inclusions against quotations before appointing a contractor.
