Your estimate sits within the typical range.
Replacing a tile roof with Colorbond means removing and disposing of the old tiles first, which adds labour and tip fees on top of the new roof.
Colorbond is lighter than tile, so a tile-to-metal re-roof can occasionally need a structural check, but it also reduces load on the frame.
