  1. Your estimator should be quoting any project via  diligent use of roll size vs glass size(s) therefore minimizing or sometimes eliminating "waste" (see below).

     

    As you know sometimes the sizes do not play nice with each other.

    Film use would be all the footage pulled from the box as needed and charged to the project.

    Its charged to the project because tomorrow may never come. Any good  usable  "waste" or offcuts you MAY be able to  use elsewhere may not ever be used before the shelf life renders it really trash.

    That being said we have done many projects that used lets say 38" of a 48" roll x multiple rolls and the off cut used later on skinny front door sides or french windows . 

     

    Not sure why but I'm getting the feeling your guys are being given rolls at "10 windows/roll  " and only "8" are being done and they "need more film". I've seen examples of this in the past where the story would go that "I blew a few pieces" . Funnily though it was always  exactly enough to allow a full roll here and a full roll there to "disappear" on multi-floor projects that former employee worked on.:smh
