How steep a roof is, given as the rise over a twelve-inch run — a 6/12 roof rises six inches for every twelve it travels across. Pitch decides the material that may be used, how much labour and safety equipment the job needs, and how much bigger the roof is than the house underneath it, so it moves a price at least as much as the area does.
In FieldQuo — Measure from the sky
The pitch comes back with the area when FieldQuo measures a roof from the address.
