Your patio roof details
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
Insulated panel roofing keeps the space usable in summer, far cooler than single-skin sheet, and gives a finished ceiling underneath.
Most patio roofs over a certain size need council or private certifier approval and engineering for wind load, factor the approval cost and time in.

What a patio roof costs in Hobart
Hobart's cold, wet climate makes a patio roof about shelter more than shade, so designs lean toward solid, insulated roofing and often partial enclosure or glazing that make an outdoor space usable through the long wet winters and the cold, which costs more than an open cover. An insulated roof that keeps the rain off and holds some warmth turns a patio into a genuine extra room, which is the point of the spend in this climate.
The posts and footings on the city's common sloping sites have to be engineered to hold a roof attached to the house on a grade, and that site work is a real part of the cost. Flashing the new roof properly into older colonial or Federation homes, often with heritage fabric to respect, adds care and cost. The smaller Tasmanian trade pool keeps pricing firm, and insulated panels or larger Colorbond spans carry Bass Strait freight. The shelter focus and the site, not the sun, shape a Hobart patio roof.
